Re: [Audyssey] atari games
Hi Thomas, Yeah, I often wondered what language the Atari games were written in. Kind of thought maybe Assembler. Forgot about the hardware specific sounds etc. With the Microsoft Extended Basic for my Atari 800 XL I had 4 sound channels. Hated when I went from that to BasicA, GW Basic, Quick Basic etc where you only had one sound channel. Some people did some pretty cool stuff with that one sound channel though. Still nothing at all like being able to play and control multiple recorded sound files. Probably similar to going from drawing with lines etc to however they do the game graphics now.

Re: [Audyssey] atari games
Hi Michael, It may just be semantics, but as a game developer, I can tell you that we can not just take an existing game and poof make it accessible. Well unless we have the original source code. And even then that would be mostly about the graphics and moving them etc. What you are actually asking is could some one create from scratch an audio version of an old classic Atari game. You know like Phil has done with Pacman Talks, I have done with pong etc. And of course there is not enough blind accessible game developers to recreate all of the main stream games that are out there. Not even just all of the Atari classics.

Re: [Audyssey] atari games
Hi Michael, Well, it all depends on the copyright status of the game in question, and how easy the game can be converted to audio. First, while it is true some companies like Activision don't seam to complain about someone cloning some of their older games like Asteroids, Packman, etc that doesn't mean it is absolutely safe to do so. Donkey Kong, one of the games you mentioned, is owned by Nintendo, and I happen to know they are very protective of their copyright interests. In fact, Nintendo usually renews their copyrights buy releasing new versions of their popular titles like Mario, Donkey Kong, etc regularly. So knowing the status of the copyright in question is the first thing to keep in mind. Second, some game slike tetris would be difficult to create an audio only version of. That game is very visual by nature, and I'd be hard pressed for ideas how to make it accessible enough for a blind player to play. So the type of style of game also needs to be considered here. michael barnes wrote: can anybody make frogger and cosmic ark and donkey kong accessible for the blind the pac man game is it the atari version or the arcade version another game to make accessible is moon patrol and tetris --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] atari games
Hi, Yeah, and even if we could get the original source code for say Packman, Donkey Kong, etc it wouldn't do a developer a bit of good anyway. Those old console games were specially designed for the game console it ran on, and wouldn't have anything in common with Windows, Linux, or Mac OS software development. Not to mention all of the code itself is hardware specific. A few years ago I actually looked around for an Atari 2600 programming guide and found one and read it. First, all of the source code is done in C which many blind game developers don't know. Many blind game programmers right now program in Visual Basic or some varient of that. So wouldn't have any understanding of the code samples involved in editing, programming, or updating such games. Second, as I said before all of the code was extremely hardware specific. All of the sounds , music, and graphics were digitally coded by hand. To make a sound or music track for a game you had to create a custom sound and music generator to produce musical notes and tones, set the length, pitch, etc and send it out to the speaker on your TV. It is, in a word, pretty crude compared to todays standards. Today all of that is done by recording sounds and music out to wav files, loading them into memory, and playing them back using an API like DirectX or XNA. That is much easier than having to create your own custom sound generator from scratch to create sounds, musical notes, and tones on the fly.

Re: [Audyssey] atari games
THa pacman game is based on the Arcade version, not the Atari one. I'm sure it would be possible to make accessible games based on Frogger, Donkey Kong and Cosmic Ark, but as has been pointed out numorous times you really have to be careful with that. Phil's been lucky since nobody's contacted him about either Pacman or Sarah, but as Thomas Ward could tell you you can't count on that. He had at least one developer serve him with a cease and desist for Montezuma's Return and possibly Montezuma's Revenge as well., hence Mysteries of the Ancients. So you really have to be careful when you start talking about making existing games accessible. Homer: Hey, uh, could you go across the street and get me a slice of pizza? Vender: No pizza.

Re: [Audyssey] Atari games
Hi Shaun, Well, interesting you bring that question up. As it happens wile ESP Pinball Clasic and PCS Packman Talks do use official Packman sounds it still doesn't quite feel like the classic 1982 game for Atari. For example, in Packman Talks the ghost talk. In the orignal Packman the game made a computerised sound when the ghosts were getting near. As a result when I play the Packman Talks version it doesn't quite sound like the original. I've actually been toying with the idea of making a 100% authentic Packman game, but I don't want to hurt Phil's sales. shaun everiss wrote: what was the first version like, any different to the esp pinbal packman, or the pcs one? --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Atari games
I wander if it is possible to run games and such sounds, music, etc through some vertual synth or something to make it all sound like a nentendo. An old one, and other old computers. Oh including all the disk sounds when you accessed disks to play, make it all authentic.

Re: [Audyssey] Atari games
To be honest I'm not entirely sre of all the games I own for my Atari. It belonged to my sister's x boyfriend and he had a lot of games to begin with. One of my favorite games though, despite its almost total inaccessibility due to a fearful lack of audio, was Adventure. That was basically the anestor of modern RPG's. As I said though, it had very little in the way of audio, although what there was was kinda neat. The dragonfire sound in particular was my favorite. That was actually one of the projects I'd hoped to undertake with the AGM, but the sound issues in the program put a stop to that one fairly quick.

Re: [Audyssey] Atari games
Hi Bryan, When Adventure came out the concept of roll playing games like Dungeons and Dragons was just starting to become popular. Adventure was Atari's attempt to bring roll playing games to the gaming console, but the vidio gaming technology just wasn't up to doing it very well. As you know a few years later Nintendo put out Legend of Zelda which was another attempt at bringing roll playing games to the home console. While good neither Adventure or Zelda captured a player the way true paper and pen rpg games did. Bryan wrote: To be honest I'm not entirely sre of all the games I own for my Atari.

Re: [Audyssey] Atari games
Hi, I loved Mouse Trap. I had both the Atari and the Colleco version of the game. I liked the Colleco version a lot better than the Atari version do to the fact the Colleco version had better graphics, music, and sounds. One thing I remember about the Colleco version is the Colleco had this controller, specially made for Mouse Trap, with a bull dog on the 5 key. After you ate the dog bone as soon as you pressed 5 you would turn from the mouse into the bull dog and send those cats screaming for parts unknown. The other number keys did cool stuff like unlock traps, close traps, etc. If I had to pick my all time favorite Atari game it would have to be Time Pilot. I loved the idea of starting out in World War I, then go to World War II, then to Vietnam, and then world War III. There was something cool about getting to mix it up with everything from old German biplanes to Soviet Migs. darren harris wrote: I loved that game!! That was adictive!!

My all time favorite was probably Galaxian although I really liked Asteroids, Space Invaders, Centipede, Zaxxon, and Time Pilot as well. I can't tell you how many times I played a game like Space Invaders just to hear the player die though. I liked the sort of fart sound it made when the invader's bomb hit your ship. Call it a sick sense of humor, but some of those games were funny like that. I use to play a game called Berserk, because every time you ran into a wall it shocked or electrocuted the player. It was sort of funny watching the little robot get zapped every time it hit a wall, and so I kept on doing it again and again. In the game UFO if your UFO got shot down you could use the Atari game controller to sometimes position the UFO over the tank that shot you and when it landed on the enemy tank there would be a big explosion. Yeah, you died, but you took out the little creep that killed you in the process. Lol! Another funny thing about those games is the little bug, glitch, etc where an enemy shot you. As you were dying you might be able to squeeze off one more shot blowing up or vaperising the enemy who killed you. Sometimes you were shooting as you got shot, you would die, and then the enemy would go boom as he got hit. How is that for justice? Raul A.

Re: [Audyssey] Atari games
Hi, Well, I had quite a huge number of Atari 2600 and 7800 Atari games and I had quite a few favorites myself. My all time favorite was probably Galaxian although I really liked Asteroids, Space Invaders, Centipede, Zaxxon, and Time Pilot as well. I can't tell you how many times I played a game like Space Invaders just to hear the player die though. I liked the sort of fart sound it made when the invader's bomb hit your ship. Call it a sick sense of humor, but some of those games were funny like that. I use to play a game called Berserk, because every time you ran into a wall it shocked or electrocuted the player. It was sort of funny watching the little robot get zapped every time it hit a wall, and so I kept on doing it again and again. In the game UFO if your UFO got shot down you could use the Atari game controller to sometimes position the UFO over the tank that shot you and when it landed on the enemy tank there would be a big explosion. Yeah, you died, but you took out the little creep that killed you in the process. Lol! Another funny thing about those games is the little bug, glitch, etc where an enemy shot you. As you were dying you might be able to squeeze off one more shot blowing up or vaperising the enemy who killed you. Sometimes you were shooting as you got shot, you would die, and then the enemy would go boom as he got hit. How is that for justice? Raul A.

My all time favorite was probably Galaxian although I really liked Asteroids, Space Invaders, Centipede, Zaxxon, and Time Pilot as well. I can't tell you how many times I played a game like Space Invaders just to hear the player die though. I liked the sort of fart sound it made when the invader's bomb hit your ship. Call it a sick sense of humor, but some of those games were funny like that. I use to play a game called Berserk, because every time you ran into a wall it shocked or electrocuted the player. It was sort of funny watching the little robot get zapped every time it hit a wall, and so I kept on doing it again and again. In the game UFO if your UFO got shot down you could use the Atari game controller to sometimes position the UFO over the tank that shot you and when it landed on the enemy tank there would be a big explosion. Yeah, you died, but you took out the little creep that killed you in the process. Lol! Another funny thing about those games is the little bug, glitch, etc where an enemy shot you. As you were dying you might be able to squeeze off one more shot blowing up or vaperising the enemy who killed you. Sometimes you were shooting as you got shot, you would die, and then the enemy would go boom as he got hit. How is that for justice? Raul A.
