Re: [Audyssey] announcing the audiogames archive

2016-09-29 Thread dark 

Hi Z.
Firstly, if you give an idea of what sort of games your interested in, then 
perhaps people can make suggestions, though of course there is a lot to find 
out about and it's always great exporing and trying things out yourself..


Well as Michael said there is www.audiogames.nett. It has descriptions of 
over 570 accessible games in audio, and text, you can also use the "Search 
games" link on the front page to do things like search for games of a given 
genre or from a given developer. The forum is also a good place to ask about 
accessible games, indeed along with this mailing list it's the major place 
on the internet for accessible games discussion.


There is also the huge list of "Fantastic games and where to find them" over 
at www.pcsgames.net. This is a massive list of websites with descriptions.


The 7-128 games team have a list of top websites for gamers who are blind, 
which is maintained every year, check 
http://www.7128.com/top25/topsitesblind.html  to see it.
there are then several pages over on www.whitestick.co.uk which can be very 
useful, such as "games to play online" and games to play offline.


If you know what game your looking for and just want the setup file, a lot 
of older games are hosted over at http://www.applevis.com/ which is very 
awesome, though note that that site is more about the hosting than the 
explanations for most of their games (for explanations try audiogames.net or 
pcsgames).


then if your an Ios user, there is  http://www.applevis.com/ which has 
anything and everything to do with Ios games, and indeed games for the mac 
too.


hth.

All the best,

Dark.
Due to Btinternet being inconvenient, this email address will not be in use 
for very long. Please contact me on my other public address, d...@xgam.org. 
When I have a new private address, I will let everyone know.

Can sombody tell me the best sites to get audio games because I know when 
I
get my laptop I'll probably want to play some of theese games. I'm a fan 
of

Destination Mars, and I've played Jim's games but I haven't been much of a
gamer lately since I don't have my own computer. Soon I think all of that
will change. I'll keep you guys updated.

Parts of the archive must still be working. I was able to download

Hi all,

As some of you may already know, over the past year or so I've been
working on developing a central website to host old and abandoned games.

At long last, the audiogames archive is live and ready for use.

There are currently titles from 39 different developers available for
download, with a total archive size of about 12.7gb.

The archive also hosts mods, soundpacks, maps, and other expansions for
games, though the selection of these is slightly limited at the moment.

In addition, wherever possible links to developer's sites and downloads
have also been included, meaning that you can use the archive as a way to
look up a developer's website or a particular game's info.

The archive is at (read the below notes before you visit though):

www.agarchive.net

The faq and about the archive section is at:

www.agarchive.net/pages/faq.html



Notes:

The archive is very much in its testing phase at the moment.

If you notice anything amiss (links not working, broken installers, 
typos,

etc) lease take a look at the contact page, and get in touch.

If you have some content you don't see listed and would like to help us
get it posted, please also get in touch. This especially applies to 
things

like adventure at c stages and top speed cars.

Finally, you should make sure that you have a file archiver, preferably
7zip, installed before you download games. Many of the files on the site
have been compressed or repackaged as 7z archives, and standard windows
cannot open these.



I sincerely hope this helps all of you who have posted messages looking
for games recently.

Enjoy the archive, and happy gaming!
