I don't like world of legends very much, the style of writing looks
like it was done by a 10 year old. Drone and Braminar is ok but they
get a bit repetitive after a while.
How do you get onto the eamon Beta testing program?
Cheers.

The answer is a lot.
There are currently about 180 Eamon adventures due to be converted
into Eamon deluxe format, most from the classic 250 Eamon
adventures, but also some Eamon deluxe original ones too.
Frank black who maintains Eamon deluxe has also said he plans to
convert the other 95 or so original Eamon adventures to Eamon deluxe
format after the current version is finished, and that's not
counting whatever other adventures people might write for the Eamon
system (indeed I well might do one myself).
I have personally played about 20 or so adventures in the beta copy
I've been testing, and the rest are due to come soon.
So if you like the idea of text rpgs, there is lots in Eamon deluxe
to keep you going and indeed if my own pc broke tomorrow and I
needed a windows 7 machine I'd make getting a virtual xp environment
fairly top on my priorities list.
Then of course, don't forget there is more than just Eamon.
Fallthru, westfront, drone, braminar and world of legends are also
text rpgs playable with dos (check audiogames.net), and there are
others out there too, as well as some older audio games that don't
convert well to windows 7 for one reason or another.
Beware the grue!

Hi dark,
just wondering, and i know this has been answered before, how many
emon adventures are there going to be?
only if I wanted to get virtual xp, 16 bit games are the principal
reason why I'd consider it, for as far as i'm aware, I wouldn't really
need it for anything else and i'm just wondering whether emon would be
worth it as i'm a huge fan of rpgs.

Hi Steven.
The mailbox is a container, so You need to remove the paper from the
mailbox first. Type remove peace of paper from mailbox or some short
varient there of to get it, then you can read it. Same goes for other
stuff in containers, use remove from.
As to Jaws, I know the game has been tested with jaws and works fine with
the Jaws curser, but whether it does with jaws eleven or whether you need
something specific for it I don't know not using Jaws myself, though there
is going to be a compatibility section in the manual to offer advice on
playing the game with various screen readers.
Beware the Grue!

Hi there.
I'm having trouble with the demo adventure, when I open the mail box and
try to get the paper, it tells me I can't get it, so I tried "read"ing
it, but that didn't work either.
am I doing something wrong? I'm also using jaws 11 and I can't review the
screen with the jaws cursor.

Hi Steven.
I'm replying to your message here to aide discussion. Firstly, I think
you might have got this a little wrong.
i'm not actually developing Eamon Deluxe, I've just helped with beta
testing and writing reviews, and am a fan of the system.
The developer is frank black, and you can reach him by the address in
the blog. Eamon always has, and will continue to be free.
the eamon site can be found at http://www.eamonag.org/index.html and
there is also an eamon deluxe page on audiogames.net, though bare in
mind that is severely out of date, sinse the old version 4 of Eamon
deluxe from 2005, while just about runnable has some compatibility
issues and annoying habbits with screen readers and takes a little
jiggering to get to work. Needless to say though, these have been
utterly fixed in the new version, plus a lot of access features added
that weren't there before. In Fact frank is doing a great job in terms
of access, even going as far as describing Ascii graphics, as well as
allowing full access to everything in text (previously there was a
graphical main hall that had some advantages over the text one, but that
is now fixed).
Lastly as to platforms, yes, it's a shame, but there is no way around it
unfortunately sinse as I said the alternative is dosbox. If you use
windows 7 pro microsoft have produced a virtual xp machine that can run
16 bit applications, or you can use software such as vmplayer. I'm
however not the person to ask about this question, which is indeed why i
have moved this discussion onto the audeasy list, sinse there are more
qualified people than me here who can talk about it.
Hope this answers your question.
All the best,
Dark.
