Re: [Audyssey] More on puppet nightmares
Hi shannon. Nope, it's played entirely through your brouser on the website. All you need to do is navigate around the headings, links, buttons etc with your screen reader in order to play. There are actually a great many games like this, it's just that puppet nightmares seems a particularly good one of this type, especially it's the complexity of it's battle system.

Re: [Audyssey] More on puppet nightmares
Hi kimberly. As I said, I'm very much enjoying the game. it is complex, there is a lot to know and a lot to take in, but all info is available at all times so you can lways check up and things, and the game itself is great, with a dark atmosphere and a unique battle system tht stays interesting for a good while. Just make sure your familiar with navigating around buttons, links, headings and list boxes, and also can read mouse over text, sinse the pages use all of these things especially the battle screen (see the puppet nightmares entry on www.audiogames.net for more details). another thing i like is the fact that though like several online games it has a donation currency to buy some special items, you actually get a fair bit of this in the game itself as well, just by playing, which lets those special be accessible to everybody. I'd recommend trying the game, and if you have questions just asking in the in game chat. Also, I'd ap[reciate myself if you used this link: http://www.puppetnightmares.com/index.php?sh=23512 that way I get some bonuses as well, though if you bdon't want to that's also fine. any questions, just ask. all the best, - Original Message - From: Kimberly Qualls kimberly021...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2012 1:09 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] More on puppet nightmares Dark, I've been looking at this and it looks GROOVY!It looks like a lot of details, but I think I could handle it, having played D D...Of course that didn't involve a computer, then...Have you played yet?...How do you like it?

Re: [Audyssey] Kitchensinc games
Ibrahim! I downloaded the Infocom collection that you sent to the list recently, have read the beginners' guide, and I recognise many of the commands from my Colossal Cave days, and even the suggestion of drawing a map of the location of rooms and routes was familiar. Obviously, that was written for sighted players. Has any totally-blind one found a way of doing the same? The colossal Cave is the only infocom game I have played and that was in the days before I had access to the internet so I used a floppy disk. I would like to have a crack at the ones you made available, but how do you start them? I thought that there would be an executable file, but there isn't. Is the winfrotz a separate program that I have to download? When I try to open the files that are marked with a z, the computer tells me that it can't open them as it has to know in what program they were created: do I want it to go on-line to get the appropriate software? I don't know what to tell it.

Wuo, that brings back memories, the singing dectalk craze. I have a directory on my hard drive for shit like this LOLOL, plenty of song samples and even full length songs in there which I occasionally listen to in an idle moment.

That is funny. It sort of reminds me of the Dectalk skit that was being passed around about 10 years ago where the Dectalk was singing about commiting suicide. It went something like, I an't nothing but a crummy crappy old computer. A crummy crappy old computer. Please, erase my hard drive, because I'd really like to die. I don't remember it word for word but it was funny. On 11/25/12, Bryan Peterson bpeterson2...@cableone.net wrote: LOL. That's wy I made a little mp3 file a few years back called Sam's Lament.

Re: [Audyssey] Kitchensinc games
Hi Jewel, In order to play the ZCode games by Infocom etc you will need a Windows interpreter like Winfrotz which is a separate download to play them. Cheers! On 11/26/12, Jewel jewelbla...@kinect.co.nz wrote: Ibrahim! I downloaded the Infocom collection that you sent to the list recently, have read the beginners' guide, and I recognise many of the commands from my Colossal Cave days, and even the suggestion of drawing a map of the location of rooms and routes was familiar. Obviously, that was written for sighted players. Has any totally-blind one found a way of doing the same? The colossal Cave is the only infocom game I have played and that was in the days before I had access to the internet so I used a floppy disk. I would like to have a crack at the ones you made available, but how do you start them? I thought that there would be an executable file, but there isn't. Is the winfrotz a separate program that I have to download? When I try to open the files that are marked with a z, the computer tells me that it can't open them as it has to know in what program they were created: do I want it to go on-line to get the appropriate software? I don't know what to tell it. Jewel --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

As I said, I'm very much enjoying the game. it is complex, there is a lot to know and a lot to take in, but all info is available at all times so you can lways check up and things, and the game itself is great, with a dark atmosphere and a unique battle system tht stays interesting for a good while. Just make sure your familiar with navigating around buttons, links, headings and list boxes, and also can read mouse over text, sinse the pages use all of these things especially the battle screen (see the puppet nightmares entry on www.audiogames.net for more details). another thing i like is the fact that though like several online games it has a donation currency to buy some special items, you actually get a fair bit of this in the game itself as well, just by playing, which lets those special be accessible to everybody. I'd recommend trying the game, and if you have questions just asking in the in game chat. Also, I'd ap[reciate myself if you used this link: http://www.puppetnightmares.com/index.php?sh=23512 that way I get some bonuses as well, though if you bdon't want to that's also fine. any questions, just ask. all the best, - Original Message - From: Kimberly Qualls kimberly021...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2012 1:09 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] More on puppet nightmares Dark, I've been looking at this and it looks GROOVY!It looks like a lot of details, but I think I could handle it, having played D D...Of course that didn't involve a computer, then...Have you played yet?...How do you like it?

I know I posted about this game recently (though I don't know if that male got lost in the works), but now that I've gotten into the game, I'm just finding it absolutely fascinating, indeed it's rather hard to put down! The developer is great about access, and has fixed several issues within literally a couple of hours, and it has a great community. I'll admit there is a learning curve sinse it's quite unusual to get a game of this complexity in it's battles and other systems, but for anyone who has wanted to play a really propper rpg or have a go at a major and detailed creature collection game with good back story like pokemon I can absolutely recommend this. Elemental weaknesses, a 3x3 grid with different formations giving bonuses, every creature havng equips, item building, it's all here! The address is http://www.puppetnightmares.com/index.php?sh=23512 (and yes that's my referal link but I wouldn't be recommending this game so strongly if I didn't think it was good).
