Re: what was the first audiogame you ever played? Well, actually, I first played games similar to chicken killer, only for the sighted. In Germany, its name is Morhun schießen. After shooting thousands of chickens only randomly when I was shooting around, my father began researching for audiogames.My first ever game I played with 8 years was Der Tag wird zur Nacht, after that Mückenjagd and then I started to play English games like Pong, Mach1, and all the other kitchensinc games, 15numbers, pb-games, accessible battleship, alien outback, ... holy, I discovered a lot! Then, I played the german version of top speed. When I could speak enough English to understand most parts of the games, I started playing games like time adventures, the fery-tail-serie of codefactory and then, I began playing games with stronger language.And thats one of the reasons why I wanted to learn English.

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] what was the first audiogame you ever played?
Re: what was the first audiogame you ever played? Well, it is possible to run Grizzly Gulch on a 32 bit edition of Windows 7. I tried it for nostalgias sake recently. I think that game could have been so much more than it was. There should have been a mode where, instead of going out to catch bad guys, you could be one of the bad guys instead. Your mission would be to loot the town and other neighboring towns, run from the police, shoot the marshals and whoever else came after you, and so on. You could still go into the saloon and play the games, but you would be listening for tips about where the police thought you were. And, if there really had to be a quest element to the game, perhaps you could win after you made a certain amount of money, or completed a certain amount of missions to steal stuff.But thats not my only complaint. The store should have been open whenever you wanted to go in it, and you should have had more options to buy stuff. Like, some oats for your horse, a selection of guns, some soap, foo d, I dont know, just anything other than the quest items.And, speaking of guns, I had a real problem with the way the shooting in that game was handled, even when I was 10 years old and playing it for the first time. Ill list my gripes:1. There should have been a lot more voices. Having essentially 4 bad guys makes for quite a silly experience. When you repeatedly gun down the same men, over and over and over again, you start to think they must be the undead or something!2. There were no body falling sounds. Even if they didnt want there to be gore or whatever, there didnt have to be bullet impact sounds. A simple thump would have done nicely. It just increased the undead effect a hundredfold, and really made the tough wild west image all but nonexistent.3. Once you completed the quest where you get a bigger gun to go and shoot Robbin Rob, the gun sound should have changed. Honestly, this should have been a no-brainer. Here I was , all excited, thinking, sweet, a new gun! And then the disappointment hit me like a wave as I realized that it was the same damn gun, I was just supposed to believe it was different because the game said so.Ok, Ill stop now. For what it was, it was a pretty good game. It was the first Windows game, so we have to give it props for that. Otherwise, theres not much else to say about it except that its rather simplistic and, once youve heard the punch lines and quests a few times, theres really no replay value.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=153213#p153213 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] what was the first audiogame you ever played?
Re: what was the first audiogame you ever played? Hi,Well, my first audiogame was Grizzly Gulch. Im not sure how, but my parents somehow heard about it, and ordered it for me back when it first came out. I absolutely loved it until I beat it, of course, and then it kind of lost its appeal.After that, I tried to get my hands on as many audio games as possible. Since I had dialup, it was hard for me to get the bigger stuff like the ESP games, so I actually went backwards a bit and downloaded the old PCS games for DOS. My favorite by a long shot was the shooting range game. Unfortunately, I never had full versions of any of them; a real shame, as I would love to play that again. I also enjoyed the Cops game, World Series Baseball, and Mobius mountain. I think I might have downloaded some of Jim Kitchens DOS games at that point, too, and I really liked them. I remember feeling rebellious at the age of 11 or so because I had the casino game, and there was cursing in it, lol.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=152995#p152995 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

I dont know how many hours I sat there in front of my parents old computer, booted their machine running Win 95 up in Dos, connected my Braille display and enjoyed those epic adventures.Later on I got my own Dos computer, and I sat there all the time and played games and explored the operating system.Sooner I got Windows, and the very first audiogame I tried was Battleship. then Grizzly gulch, Shades of doom and then I slowly began to follow the english news as my english got better and better.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=151144#p151144 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] what was the first audiogame you ever played?
Re: what was the first audiogame you ever played? @Fastfinge: that is really interesting. My first games were IF, and now theyre predominantly text again too, despite my full enjoyment of many audio games. My audio gaming was predominant in university, before which it was all IF, and of course shared time with AQ (I met Matt at uni). This was about the time of the Crazy development in classical, early-movement no-can-win audio games for Windows, though Id also played some DOS ones in my youth too. But soon AQ became the sole source of audio entertainment, as my attention shifted again to IF, and I wondered how Id ever managed to get distracted by audio games at all. I still feel that way, especially when Im in full-screen Linux console with the BSD games before me. And by now, anyway, I had better things to do than play games (or so I thought, before I eventually joined this forum ), like look for a job and skills, so I was necessarily restricted to games which were easily run along with my other work that I could get distracted by on-demand.Text is the killer medium. It is unsurpassed, and unsurpassable. It goes everywhere, it crosses platforms, its easy to access, you can run it alongside your other work, and it doesnt require bloody registration. Oh yeah, and text can describe anything. It is the intent of any game, and while it requires you think to make it work for you, it provides guarantees no other medium can. But sometimes you just need audio to test your reflexes. Course, Ive tried the newer games, but I dont love them as seriously as I loved the classics (PCS, GMA, VIP, BSC, ESP, whatever). And I never have time for them; the VM is always reverted before you know it. Perhaps thats the problem; the amateur classics have all gone away, and with it a significant amount of easy-access quality time and community achievement. Still, Ive only now just tried Technoshock, Night of Parasite and Self Destruct. I cant deny that being easy to access and register is a great help, for example many iOS games, when Im in the right mood to disconnect from the computer and work and just enjoy iOS, are great candidates. But even there, many of these are simply CYoA or RPG and so youre right back to text. I think Entombed has been the one exception to that rule, partly because of the still-surviving activation system but mostly because of the depth of the game and the wonderful music!Now that Ive had more time to catch up around here, I hope to be able to turn back the clock a little and see some delight in specifically audio-only action games. However, thats not proved to be quite yet. Perhaps RTR2 will do it?

But sometimes you just need audio to test your reflexes. Course, Ive tried the newer games, but I dont love them as seriously as I loved the classics (PCS, GMA, VIP, BSC, ESP, whatever). And I never have time for them; the VM is always reverted before you know it. Perhaps thats the problem; the amateur classics have all g one away, and with it a significant amount of easy-access quality time and community achievement. Still, Ive only now just tried Technoshock, Night of Parasite and Self Destruct. I cant deny that being easy to access and register is a great help, for example many iOS games, when Im in the right mood to disconnect from the computer and work and just enjoy iOS, are great candidates. But even there, many of these are simply CYoA or RPG and so youre right back to text. I think Entombed has been the one exception to that rule, partly because of the still-surviving activation system but mostly because of the depth of the game and the wonderful music!Now that Ive had more time to catch up around here, I hope to be able to turn back the clock a little and see some delight in specifically audio-only action games. However, thats not proved to be quite yet. Perhaps RTR2 will do it?

Re: what was the first audiogame you ever played? I cant remember very well what my first audio game was, think it was accessible battleship. Before that since I still had a little vision, I played mainstream games, mostly on the ps2, though I did own a Gameboy at one point. Ofcourse, I wasnt very good at the games, and because when I look at a television screen things tend to move around to much for me to see them, but it was still fun to play the games. All I can remember is when I got my first computer, I wasnt very interested till my parents showed me audiogames, and even then I was still thinking meh, these cant be quite as interesting as console gaming, considering the first games I remember being shown were accessible battleship, G M A mine buster and pack man talks. It was only when I found the huge gaming list that pcsgames had to offer that I found this site and got my intrest in audiogaming.URL: http://forum.audiogames .net/viewtopic.php?pid=151141#p151141 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: [Audiogames-reflector] what was the first audiogame you ever played?
Re: what was the first audiogame you ever played? I was initially going to claim my first ever audiogame was Sneller as well, but it wasnt. I heard about the game Sneller on Dutch TV, so next day my dad helped me to download it along with another game called Ratjeprak. This was back when 110 MB was quite huge and would take a few hours to download. Ratjeprak was actually the game I played first, though. I was like 7 or 8 years old at the time. More than 10 years ago, which is a rather bizarre idea! And I posted on this here forum in my ridiculous English.On second thought... There also was this Swedish website with the game TPB memory and a few other small things. That might actually have been my first. Im not sure anymore now. I didnt know any Swedish at all, so all I basically did was navigate around until I heard the right prompt to start the game...URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=145228#p145228 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: what was the first audiogame you ever played? Hello all,I think that the first few audiogames I played were:1 - Drive, a game where you just have to go straight with your shuttle and pick up bonuses to go faster. It was very easy game but put me in confiance for other harder audiogames, because it was at a time where I just became blind and didnt know exactly what I was still able to do and what I could no longer do.2 - Dark destroyer, the well known space invader from PB games. Not so hard too, but sufficiently hard at that time to keep me for a moment3 - Top speed 2, what I consider as being the first really interesting audiogame I ever played. I enjoyed it in multiplayer mode for some years... at the beginning, it wasnt easy though: I crashed very often. But by playing more and more, you finally get it and manage to finish a race without any crash. I remember being very happy the first time I did it.Today, I dont have much time to play for myself: between my computer scienc e studies, and programming the playroom in my spare time, Im quite busy.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=145242#p145242 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] what was the first audiogame you ever played?
Re: what was the first audiogame you ever played? Hi,Ive been blind since birth, and my first gaming experience was on the ps1 with tekken. I used to watch my brother play and then one day he got tekken 2 and just put the thing in practice mode while he and my parents were sorting stuff out around the house, so I played as law and discovered that pressing x and circle at the same time does a move that seemed to keep hitting the opponent.I then ended up somehow getting into arcade mode and beating a few fights, I was so happy.The first mainstream game I actually unlocked something in was Tekken 3. A few years later this would be my first fully completed game without sighted help.The first audiogame I played was the ESP Pinball demo back when ESP Softworks were around. My dad then downloaded the rest of the demos, this was when we were on dial-up so it was rather slow.Eventually wed get broadband and my life would really change, I discovered GMA Games, BSC Games, and a few others. One day I was on the net and suddenly remmbered a website I hadnt visited in a long time, audiogames.net, and I remember the headline: Mega Update for 2004!And Ive been here ever since. This is where I first found the japanese space invaders for the blind, and really liked it. Now, weve got japanese rpg games and they are amazing. I also like Perilous Hearts and Top Speed, as evolutions of drive and the super liam formula.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=145256#p145256 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] what was the first audiogame you ever played?
Re: what was the first audiogame you ever played? Hi mike,Der Tag wird zur Nacht is a game where you are a little boy having to get away from an exploding vulcane.To do this you had to go through nine rooms. In each of them you will run against things. Some would be knocked down - at least it sounds so - and some would just hurt you a bit. After you complete all rooms, you would be taken away by a ship. This game is quite boring though.In Mueckenjagt you have to kill mosquitos. You hear them and have to wait until theyre quiet and then kill them by pressing space. The game runs for something like 5 minutes I think.Check the db for more info, the games are there as well.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=145102#p145102 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] what was the first audiogame you ever played?
Re: what was the first audiogame you ever played? [[wow]] Yukio, didnt know audiogames were so known about in Japan that a teacher would recommend them, needless to say its not the same over here . Myself, I have limited vision so played graphical games all my life from the age of four. i could not read the text, but often in the contrast was good and if menues had highlighting I could work out what was going on, distinguish my character from the background and work out enimy position, heck, even in the 16 bit era I could play a lot of newly released games, although I did always want to play rpgs and other complex games. My favourites were always those with exploration and story, starting with rurican on the Amigar (especially for the music), and going on to games like Metroid, the mega man x games on the snes, Super castlevania or First Samurai. I also play ed beat em ups (I played both original mk and street fighter 2 in the arcades and on the snes), and some puzzle games like bomberman, as well as harder, more arcade like games like the Marrio series, although it was the exploration action platformers such as mega man x that were my absolute favourites. Unfortunately though, the 32 bit era and the production of 3D games made playing most games near impossible since the spacial relations were just too complex, it was no longer possible to distinguish my character, the surroundings and enemies in the same way. I could still of course play beatemups, but that was not near enough. in 2003, just after Id been at university, I found a braille magazine article talking about online games, and I found the whitestick.co.uk site. I played a lot of online games and textual games, such as legend of the green dragon, ashes of angels and sryth, (I was one of the original people who played the free version before there was a paid game). I had seen the page listing offline games and read a little about some audio games (I remember reading the galaxy ranger description), but I assumed that they must be symplistic or reduced in scope, and not near what I had experienced with graphical games. While I admit I was wrong on this point, in fairness remember that a lot of stuff aimed at blind people in this country has a very condescending edge. In late 2005 On the Sryth forums, I discussed games with bryan P, and mentioned my love of exploration. he showed me the sarah developement page over at pcs, and mentioned shades of doom as a game with a huge area to explore. I downloaded the thing and was absolutely hooked, since it let me play a type of game Id never tried before, a first person shooter. I think had shades not been my first game, had I first played a card game or a sim ple arcade game I might well have not continued, but after trying shades I ran across audiogames.net, and was highly interested to see what else was available. Since at that point I pretty much had just finished my masters but not started anything further, I spent all of 2006 trying audio games out one after another. Some I liked, some I didnt, but even games like the bsc ones impressed me with sound quality,. I of course also posted on the forum, and in 2007 Sander and richard asked myself and a few other members to start help by writing news posts, and the rest as they say is history! . Btw, I do also still play graphical games, particularly a very good turrican remake for windows, albeit I probably spend more time on audio games, web games and the like (partly for the purposes of the db).URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=145121#p145121 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] what was the first audiogame you ever played?
Re: what was the first audiogame you ever played? My very first games I played were mainstream ones on the PS1. I never really got anywhere with them, but still found it rather fun. I was especially fund of GTA, Driver, various need for speed games and tekken 3, which I played by button mashing. Then, in I beieve 2005 I found out about Klango. This was back when they werent known for the network and it was just a platform for running apps, mostly games.. There were, at the time, 2. I tried the Polish version of Pirate memory (the demo) and got hooked. I would go on to purchasing the game later, but anyway, in addition to hosting Klango itself, the site also had a Wiki, which had an entire section dedicated to international games. The very first non-Polish game I tried was sonic match from BSC, and then I found audio games.net and started exploring other games. I remember playing all of the draconis titles and hearing the Monkey business trailer, wishing I could buy the game somehow. And L works, with the Judgment day gamepl ay trailer before it came out. After that I started lurking on the forum and Audyssey, using them only to find out about new games, and to a lesser extent how to beat others. I did eventually manage to purchase Monkey business and Pinball Extreme, which were my first ever non Polish game purchases, followed by Judgment Day and Super Liam. This was through a person living in the States. My first ever purchase I made in person came much later, in 2010. It was Aurifi on iOS, but by that time I was already quite active.The main reason Polish people arent very aware about audiogames is mostly I think due to the language barrier. Someone might hear about a cool game, but as soon as he/she finds out that its not in Polish, its like, oh, I think Ill pass, because I dont know it very well. This is not as much the case as it was before though.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewt opic.php?pid=145181#p145181 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
