Re: [blind-gamers] quick intro

Hi Christy.


Hope you have fun on the list. Any questions generally please ask, and 
also remember to check out some other websites about audiogames such as 
www.audiogames.net, which has a  database of accessible games and a forum.


the audiogames archive at 3 The audiogames archive 
 which is a great place for downloading older 
games that are no longer available, and Phil Vlasac's fantastic games 
list over at PCS Games Twenty Fifteen 



Hth.


all the best,


Dark.

My name is Christy, and I have been totally blind since an early age. 
For games, I mostly play muds, a few games on IOS, and audio games 
though I'll try pretty much anything that's accessible.



Looking forward to learning about new games and the like here.


Christy

Jim will surely be miss. I became friends with him in 2008.
He knew how to make you laugh when you are down.

Re: [blind-gamers] quick intro

[Christy S]

I've played a lot of muds. Everything from Aardwolf to several space 
moos to empire to roleplay games like new worlds. Now days I mostly play 
Kallisti and Lost Souls.


That said I bounce around a lot.

[blind-gamers] scribble

[Christy S]

Hmm, I can't seem to find scribble. Using ubuntu on wsl I used apt 
install scribble and it said something like it may have been outdated or 
something. I found it on sourceforge but it looks like that one might 
have been a windows version.

Haven't downloaded it or tried to play it yet so don't know if it will

Hi,
Wait. What? You cannot install Jim’s games on a win 10 system like you could on 
a win 7 system? I got a new system a bit ago and had not put his games on it 
yet. Thus my curiosity.

Re: [blind-gamers] remembering Jim kitchen

[Josh Kennedy]

I purchased the codeFactory sapi5 vocalizer voices yesterday from 
www.atguys.com ( http://www.atguys.com ) so I could have better voices in order 
to play his games, and use those good high quality vocalizer voices for Jim's 
games, while playing them on my RCA cambio 2-in-1 tablet-laptop-hybrid I got 
off amazon for $110. It has windows 10 home 32bit on it.

Re: [blind-gamers] remembering Jim kitchen

[Tyler Zahnke]

Yes. I will remember him and his games more than any other commercial
developer or even mainstream video games! Jim Kitchen was a true
genius; I enjoyed everything from his Battleship game to his Casino
collection; I always make sure that my computer has an uncut copy of
the Jim Kitchen collection. I've known people who have a version of
the collection that cuts certain games out, you probably know which
ones; while I understand, I think all of Jim's TTS games were
masterpieces, and there will never be another like him.
