Re: [Audyssey] A Brief Tribute; was: Pizza Delivery

2014-12-10 Thread dark
I remember first running across Jim's games in 2006 when I was trying 
everything on the audiogames.net db. At first I thought oh, these just look 
rather simple and not worth my time then when I gave them a go I was quite 
surprised at the amount of good design in the games, even for the simplar 
ones, I think game of life was a personal favourite, an sinse then I've 
always had them around to stick on for a minute or two, a quick round of 
golf or game of battleships.


Thinking about it, I've not tried pizza delivery yet, which is odd sinse 
usually I'm up for trying all the new games I've just not had the motivation 
recently, but I think this sparks me to give the game a go this afternoon.


All the best,

Dark.

Hi Lisa,

Like I said, I am still having lots of fun creating and sharing games.  I'm 
sure that allot of that has to do with lots of people such as yourself that 
tell me that they enjoy the games.  Thank you's for that.

Jim, I thought about sending you this off-list, as it's a bit
off-topic, but I thought, why? It's worth saying publicly.
Anyway, I remember owning my first pc more than 15 years ago (I'm 26
now). I was at first very sad. I couldn't find any games out there for
the blind. I wanted games. I have always loved games. Who hasn't?
Somehow, I'm not sure how anymore, i found your website. I played
every game on that site, played until I knew every part. The original
Mach1 is still, in my humble opinion, a great racing game.
The fact that you have put out so many different kinds of games is
amazing. The fact that they're all free is borderline miraculous.
You may not remember, but I sent you an email a while back, asking
permission to build on a couple of your game concepts if I started
making games. It would have been reasonable, expected, that you would
be upset, but instead, you welcomed my additions. Your openness and
warmth are an important part of what makes you such an admirable
person, a fantastic developer.
Thank you for giving me hope so long ago, for giving me untold hours
of entertainment, for doing an awesome and inspiring job.

 Hi Ishan,

 As in real life your maintenance, entertainers, and ride operators
 will want wage increases now and then. Especially, as your park grows,
 begins to make more money, your employees will expect a bigger piece
 of the cut of what you take in. That is unavoidable. So you will have
 to give them higher wages periodically else they will strike and walk
 off the job.

 That is what makes Park Boss a fun game. You have to balance giving
 them a good wage with operating your park, to keep them happy while
 not going bankrupt, and the entire thing is a balancing act of
 managing ticket pricing, selling good and gifts, verses keeping your
 employees happy by paying them enough to keep them from striking.

 As far as female customers logically speaking there has to be some.
 Its just that when Nick made the game he didn't have any women to do
 the voices for the game so when you walk around the park asking
 questions there aren't any women to respond to your questions.

 Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] park boss.

2014-12-10 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi Ishan,

While it isn't essential to hire and use entertainers in Park Boss
I've found it usually helps with customer feedback and ratings to have
a few on staff. If you don't have any entertainers and you walk around
the park your customers are more likely to say they are bored and
there is not enough to do. Having a few entertainers helps keep them
occupied and entertained.

Basically, with Park Boss don't try and put all your investment in
rides and such. You need to try and be diverse by including
restaurants, arcade games, entertainers, etc as well as rides. The
more diverse your offerings the more people you can attract to your
park, and the hire your over all rating goes up..

Cheers!

In fact, I have considered for along time of porting some of them to

Hi Shaun,

Agreed. One reason I play Jim's games a lot is because they aren't too
complex. While I have always been a fan of more advanced games I find
more and more that I don't have the time for Shades of Doom or Tank
Commander. As a result I frequently play Jim's games because they are
quick and easy. I also been having problems with my hearing, am in
fact slowly going deaf, so I'm not sure how well I'll be able to play
games like Shades of Doom, Tank Commander, Teraformers, etc in the
long term. Fortunately, Jim's games don't require excellent hearing
and are more what I need in this point in time.

Cheers!

essentially children, regardless of their age or maturity.

I think that the first issue of Audyssey was on a 3.5-inch floppy that, as 
you recall, weren't actually floppy.  Along with the text version of the 
magazine were a few games, and one of Jim's games was on it.  Offhand, I 
don't remember where I got the disk from, though, and I think that the game 
may have been the winkit file from which you start.

Re: [Audyssey] A Brief Tribute; was: Pizza Delivery

2014-12-10 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi Cara,

I agree with you. Especially, about Jim's contribution to the
accessible adult games for the blind. Far too many VI game developers
have stuck to non-adult oriented games and are in most respects
G-rated. I appreciate the fact Jim doesn't treat us like children and
feels free to create whatever he wants to regardless if it is playing
a few hands of Strip Poker or a bondage and discipline fetish like
Dungeon Master.

Cheers!

 Agreed!

 96 here too. A dear friend showed me Jim's games.

 Have had much fun with them!

 One thing I liked about Jim's games particularly is that he is not afraid to
 add adult themes, whereas many games for the blind / disabled stay pretty
 much firmly in the G-rated realms. Jim avoided the stereotype of the
 disabled being essentially children, regardless of their age or maturity.

 Aside from that they are just plainly and simply fun freaking games! :)

 Thank you Jim!

 Cheers!

 Cara :)

I think that the first issue of Audyssey was on a 3.5-inch floppy that, as 
you recall, weren't actually floppy.  Along with the text version of the 
magazine were a few games, and one of Jim's games was on it.  Offhand, I 
don't remember where I got the disk from, though, and I think that the game 
may have been the winkit file from which you start.

Hi,

Yeah, I think I first discovered Jim's games around 96 or 97 as well.
Audyssey such as it was only had a couple of issues out, and I think
is how I discovered Jim's Dos games. In any case I have had countless
hours of fun playing Jim's games both for Dos and for Windows.

In fact, I have considered for along time of porting some of them to
Linux just so I'd be able to play them natively on Linux without
having to resort to Wine or similar means. I just haven't had the time
or the mental state of mind to take on such a project though.

Cheers!

Jim, can you send me an email and give me a kind of step by step
direction in how to download your games?  I have tried several times
nd am obviously doing something wrong. Since I am so technologically
challenged, I was hoping you could help.  I am using a laptop with
W8.1 and using NVDA.   Whenever you get time would be grand.  Thanks
and have a happy Thursday...(smile)
