Hi all, I am a new member to this list. My name is Paulette Vickery. I am totally blind and new to playing computer games. I would like to let you know a bit about me.
First if anyone wants to contact me off list my email address is: [email protected] I am 59 years of age, married to a sighted husband, have 6 grown children and 12 grand children. I am a psychotherapist with an LCSW in private practice with a small clientele. Besides gaming I enjoy knitting, crocheting, cooking, listening to music and reading. Now, about my triple game trouble. I have downloaded 3 games to my iPhone. I also have a computer, use Windows XP Professional and Window Eyes. The game that is giving me the most trouble is, Blindshoot. I downloaded it from the App Store yesterday. When I opened the game it said, "game salad". I have no idea what that means. Then it told me that in order to play the game I should turn my iPhone to landscape mode. I did that. Nothing happened. I had a silent screen no matter what I did. This morning I learned from Apple Vis, that I needed to turn Voice Over off in order to play the game. I did this and still nothing happened; I continued to have a silent screen. What should I do? I would really like to play this game. My second troubling problem is with the game, "A I Adventure". It is the old, Colossal Cave, text adventure game, now for the iPhone. Many times when I speak my commands I get no response from the game. Every now and then, it will respond to my commands. I have learned to give them in a declarative manner, like I have a period at the end of each command. Again, what should I do? Any suggestions will be welcome. My third troublesome game is, Things that go bump in the night, which I also have on my iPhone. I understand how to play this text based adventure game, but it is really confusing. I can't seem to get anywhere and often, text that I no longer need is still on the screen. Does anyone have any tips? I would like to be successful at playing at least 1 computer game. I am feeling quite frustrated. Thanks very much in advance for your assistance. Paulette --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [email protected].
