Re: [Audyssey] New member triple game trouble

2012-04-24 Thread Jim Kitchen

Hi Paulette,

I just have Colossal Cave on an external hard drive along with all of the stuff 
from an old dos computer that died.  A friend took the hard drive and put it 
all onto CDs for me and then I put it onto the external hard drive for easy 
access.

Most of my games are not the quest or fighting type games.  Mine are more card, 
board and sports type games.  But others are driving or flying and stuff like 
that.  Oh yeah and some adult sex type games as well.

I would like to, but have not ever written a simulation type game, like 
building and then managing a house.  Sounds like a fun game to create and play, 
but I just have never created one like that.  Maybe some day though.

BFN

Hi Paulette,

Yes Ma'am, I started learning and creating games in 1980.  Then I got my first 
talking computer in December of 1989, so have been creating blind accessible 
games ever since.  That is how I have been able to create so many of them.

As of now, I do not have an IPhone or Mac computer, so would not be able to 
convert my games to the IoS.

No, I'm sorry, but I have never found the colossal cave game on line.  Just the 
old dos version on my hard drive.

Re: [Audyssey] New member triple game trouble

2012-04-23 Thread Paulette Vickery
Hi Jim,

You give me hope. Do you play Colossal Cave on an old dos computer, or do
you have it on your Windows computer that has Windows.

I know that you are a man, so I hope you don't mind me saying this, but I
wish that there were more female oriented games out there. I don't know what
I mean exactly, but the same old fighting or quest theme gets old after a
while. How about a game where you could build your own house, doll house
complete with family, run a hospital, live in a fairy world, stir up an
instant boy or girl just like you make a mug of instant cocoa, things like
that. Just some thoughts.

if it doesn't, you'll be stuck with the microsoft default, which aren't

 Subject: [Audyssey] New member triple game trouble


 Hi all,

 I am a new member to this list. My name is Paulette Vickery. I am totally
 blind and new to playing computer games. I would like to let you know a
 bit
 about me.

 First if anyone wants to contact me off list my email address is:
 paule...@evickery.com
 I am 59 years of age, married to a sighted husband, have 6 grown children
 and 12 grand children. I am a psychotherapist with an LCSW in private
 practice with a small clientele. Besides gaming I enjoy knitting,
 crocheting, cooking, listening to music  and reading.

 Now, about my triple game trouble. I have downloaded 3 games to my 
 iPhone.

 I
 also have a computer, use Windows XP Professional and Window Eyes.

 The game that is giving me the most trouble is, Blindshoot. I downloaded
 it
 from the App Store yesterday. When I opened the game it said, game
 salad.
 I have no idea what that means. Then it told me that in order to play the
 game I should turn my iPhone to landscape mode. I did that. Nothing
 happened. I had a silent screen no matter what I did. This morning I
 learned
 from Apple Vis, that I needed to turn Voice Over off in order to play the
 game. I did this and still nothing happened; I continued to have a silent
 screen. What should I do? I would really like to play this game.

 My second troubling problem is with the game, A I Adventure. It is the
 old, Colossal Cave, text adventure game, now  for the iPhone. Many times
 when I speak my commands I get no response from the game. Every now and
 then, it will respond to my commands. I have learned to give them in a
 declarative manner, like I have a period at the end of each command.
 Again,
 what should I do? Any suggestions will be welcome.

 My third troublesome game is, Things that go bump in the night, which I
 also
 have on my iPhone. I understand how to play this text based adventure
 game,
 but it is really confusing. I can't seem to get anywhere and often, text

BFN? I don't know that one. Jim, you certainly have a lot of games. I will
check them out. Do you think that you will ever put any of them on the

[Audyssey] New member triple game trouble

2012-04-21 Thread Paulette Vickery
Hi all,

I am a new member to this list. My name is Paulette Vickery. I am totally
blind and new to playing computer games. I would like to let you know a bit
about me.

First if anyone wants to contact me off list my email address is:
paule...@evickery.com
I am 59 years of age, married to a sighted husband, have 6 grown children
and 12 grand children. I am a psychotherapist with an LCSW in private
practice with a small clientele. Besides gaming I enjoy knitting,
crocheting, cooking, listening to music  and reading.

Now, about my triple game trouble. I have downloaded 3 games to my iPhone. I
also have a computer, use Windows XP Professional and Window Eyes.

The game that is giving me the most trouble is, Blindshoot. I downloaded it
from the App Store yesterday. When I opened the game it said, game salad.
I have no idea what that means. Then it told me that in order to play the
game I should turn my iPhone to landscape mode. I did that. Nothing
happened. I had a silent screen no matter what I did. This morning I learned
from Apple Vis, that I needed to turn Voice Over off in order to play the
game. I did this and still nothing happened; I continued to have a silent
screen. What should I do? I would really like to play this game.

My second troubling problem is with the game, A I Adventure. It is the
old, Colossal Cave, text adventure game, now  for the iPhone. Many times
when I speak my commands I get no response from the game. Every now and
then, it will respond to my commands. I have learned to give them in a
declarative manner, like I have a period at the end of each command. Again,
what should I do? Any suggestions will be welcome.

My third troublesome game is, Things that go bump in the night, which I also
have on my iPhone. I understand how to play this text based adventure game,
but it is really confusing. I can't seem to get anywhere and often, text
that I no longer need is still on the screen. Does anyone have any tips?

I would like to be successful at playing at least 1 computer game. I am
feeling quite frustrated. Thanks very much in advance for your assistance.

Hi Paulette - Welcome.  In your intro you mentioned that you have a PC 
as well as an iPhone.  If you want to learn more about where to go for 
game information for the PC, go to www.7128.com  We have a list of the 
top websites for gamers who are blind.  This list is updated every year 
and you can link directly to all these great sites from our list.


We also produce games that are accessible.  We rate all our games as to 
their accessibility and any that are rated as blind accessible are 
self-voiced using SAPI.  There are a number of word, story and puzzle 
games that are blind accessible.


We are looking at porting some of our games to the iPhone, and iPad as 
well as developing some new ones specifically for that venue.But 
that will take a while.


Anyhow, welcome to the list - there are lots of interesting folk here.

Ah, excuse my last confused message, that makes a little more sense :D.
However to make this message have some sort of point, here are some good 
sites to find out about audiogames.


First off, www.audiogames.net. this has a database of gamef audio and other 
accessible games, most for pc though some for Ios, each with a (hopefully), 
informative description and information about the game. you can also search 
the database by genre and license, by using the search archive link on the 
main site, which is handy if your looking for a specific type of game.


Another great resource is the pcs games fantastic games and where to find 
them list over at www.pcsgames.net. This is a massive list of websites 
providing accessible games, and a great resource as well.


Hth.

All the best,

Dark.

 Welcome, Paulette, here is a subscribe link which may work for you to be
 able to subscribe to a VI phones group. You might also go to
 http://www.applevis.com and have a look around there, lots of interesting
 stuff. Also, very shortly an updated book Getting Started with the Iphone
 will be available from National Braille Press. I'm sure folks will post 
 when
 the updated version becomes available. Now for the subscribe link. If it
 doesn't work, let me know and I'll find another one for you.

 Hi all,

 I am a new member to this list. My name is Paulette Vickery. I am totally
 blind and new to playing computer games. I would like to let you know a
 bit
 about me.

 First if anyone wants to contact me off list my email address is:
 paule...@evickery.com
 I am 59 years of age, married to a sighted husband, have 6 grown children
 and 12 grand children. I am a psychotherapist with an LCSW in private
 practice with a small clientele. Besides gaming I enjoy knitting,
 crocheting, cooking, listening to music  and reading.

 Now, about my triple game trouble. I have downloaded 3 games to my 
 iPhone.

 I
 also have a computer, use Windows XP Professional and Window Eyes.

 The game that is giving me the most trouble is, Blindshoot. I downloaded
 it
 from the App Store yesterday. When I opened the game it said, game
 salad.
 I have no idea what that means. Then it told me that in order to play the
 game I should turn my iPhone to landscape mode. I did that. Nothing
 happened. I had a silent screen no matter what I did. This morning I
 learned
 from Apple Vis, that I needed to turn Voice Over off in order to play the
 game. I did this and still nothing happened; I continued to have a silent
 screen. What should I do? I would really like to play this game.

 My second troubling problem is with the game, A I Adventure. It is the
 old, Colossal Cave, text adventure game, now  for the iPhone. Many times
 when I speak my commands I get no response from the game. Every now and
 then, it will respond to my commands. I have learned to give them in a
 declarative manner, like I have a period at the end of each command.
 Again,
 what should I do? Any suggestions will be welcome.

 My third troublesome game is, Things that go bump in the night, which I
 also
 have on my iPhone. I understand how to play this text based adventure
 game,
 but it is really confusing. I can't seem to get anywhere and often, text
 that I no longer need is still on the screen. Does anyone have any tips?

 I would like to be successful at playing at least 1 computer game. I am
 feeling quite frustrated. Thanks very much in advance for your 
 assistance.

 Paulette

Hi Paulette - Welcome.  In your intro you mentioned that you have a PC as
well as an iPhone.  If you want to learn more about where to go for game
information for the PC, go to www.7128.com  We have a list of the top
websites for gamers who are blind.  This list is updated every year and you
can link directly to all these great sites from our list.

We also produce games that are accessible.  We rate all our games as to
their accessibility and any that are rated as blind accessible are
self-voiced using SAPI.  There are a number of word, story and puzzle games
that are blind accessible.

We are looking at porting some of our games to the iPhone, and iPad as 
well as developing some new ones specifically for that venue.But 
that will take a while.

Anyhow, welcome to the list - there are lots of interesting folk here.

Ah, excuse my last confused message, that makes a little more sense :D.
However to make this message have some sort of point, here are some good
sites to find out about audiogames.

First off, www.audiogames.net. this has a database of gamef audio and other
accessible games, most for pc though some for Ios, each with a (hopefully),
informative description and information about the game. you can also search
the database by genre and license, by using the search archive link on the
main site, which is handy if your looking for a specific type of game.

Another great resource is the pcs games fantastic games and where to find
them list over at www.pcsgames.net. This is a massive list of websites
providing accessible games, and a great resource as well.

Hth.

All the best,

Dark.
