yeah one of those would be cool, we did have torrent by surreal
horisons but since it was never released and even if someone gave you
the now dead beta it would have to be cracked to get activated and
since the owner of sr just up and left there is no chance we will
ever see the game.
A pitty since the game uses the dolphin sam engine for synth support,
and as far as I know no one uses that system at all.
Since it uses sam support, I could run braille and all my synths
including those locked probably to my supernova quite happily.
On the subject of fs though, I actually invested in this, got an old
coppy of fs2002, but ms speech rec if you load some other things for
sapi or even if you don't likes to corrupt itself and not load which is fine.
However even when I got it to work I found the training extremely
dificult its a pitty we can't find, and get brailled all the material
ms uses to train with.
Iyp looked quite good as well as the radar thing.
Though truthfully, I really don't know if I could dig a pasenger game
really, its not my deal.
Sure have some exploring round but a little action would be nice.
The only other game not released ever was starbase defender, as its
dev ran out of time and seems to now have dissapeared from the net
along with his site.
The only good thing if it can even be a good thing at all is that for
ages before he went offline he had the game entire soundtrack up,
thats also gone now but I have it and maybe others do.
Its really a pitty it died as aparently there was 2 weeks left ot get
it all going.
THe other flight game that died was by nasoft, flight commander and
was something almost like tdv.
It was in the future though.
There was a trailer but again it never eventuated, nasoft is also gone.
There was final defender by what is now draconis, its not appeared
again but that doesn't mean it may come back since adora is now
draconis, so technically it may still happen though doubtfull.
The only remotely space games we have are battleship by jim kitchen,
trek2000 by gma and final conflict startrek by usagames.
THe kitchensinc game is just battle ship.
The gma one is quite old and crappy and freeware.
And the usa one though still existant although it has replay value
is still well not as good as it could be with today's tech though
better than trek2k its still crappy and its being redone in any case.
I guess you could call monkey business, shades of doom and alien
outback and maybe a few others space games but only because they have
either shields or lasers in them same with the troop series by
blindsoftware but they are not realy space ship sims.
What we need is something that has exploration battle, action and
other randomness.
Battle we have loads of but not much more than that.
I recently listened to a radio station where rage by idsoftware was
being demoed.
You basically did things to advance yourself and get extra things, cash, etc.
The major thing I liked about rage though was the crafting element,
except for the game return to chaos by chaos productions I think, we
really don't have any games with a major crafting element.

Hey Shawn, I like the way you think. SMILES.
It would be cool to have the mars game in the windows platform.
We need a space simulator simulator to say three D velocity.
Unless someone has a better plan.
So far for we blying nuts there's Three D velocity.
The first ever hand to ear flight simulator that you can do pretty
much everything a sighted military pilot would need to do on a
mission from eather the keyboard and or a USB GAMEPAD/FLIGHT YOKE.
It is the first hand to ear project that I know of that has force
feedback written into it for that realistic game play effect.
Then there's the Microsoft Flight simulator project.
You do need a couple other programs to get fs to become blind friendly.
FS is ok, but tdv is better.
There is a up grade of the Microsoft flight simulator coming out
next year that's suppose to have roughly 100 birds to fly.
But that's all that I can say at this time.
But I would love to see a space shuttle simulator that is as
realistic as possible.
Right now the space plan is the space station.
But they do have the new up coming space ship that they'd like to
use to go back to the moon, or to a meator and or to Mars with.
I think that the old mars game would be a great stepping stone to
use for the ground floor for a newer up grade.
That's my two cnets on this subject.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Good news for all gamers!
well I wouldn't mind these games being rewritten, The concept of mars
is quite cool but getting out dated, some sort of exploration game is
something we havn't had for ages if ever.
Random events though hmmm.
If we kept the theme as the origional, more places to restock air, a
way to get back from time warps befor you run out of fuel.
A description of what rocks do what and a way to list what you have,
also to warn you if something is dangerous.
Have more stations to restock your ship.
Be able to go further than mars or if staying with the same theme
back to earth.
In truth with the random elements switched off you only have enough
fuel to get to mars and not much more really.

Hi.
That's cool. I wonder if he would object to someone else rewriting
them and adding Sapi support etc.
