Re: [Audyssey] Chillingham and games with replay value
Part of the challenge of a text adventure is figuring out what will, and discovering through frustration what will not, work as a direction on what action to take. How many times have you typed a direction only to hear something like I don't understand that. or a What? or something like that. You won't have this challenge or frustration with Chillingham. So, text adventure with your own words?, or courses of action using a menu of predetermined choices of action. I prefer the first choice I present. That's part of the fun of those games in my opinion. - Original Message - From: Raul A.

Re: [Audyssey] Chillingham and games with replay value
HI, it seems to me as if visually impaired gamers have either no or little experience with the mainstream games, or just think that the level of complexity you get from these games is impossible for the blind accessible ones. Either way, looks like they get too easily grateful for what the developers release nowadays, thinking it's the best they can get and not wanting more. What's so cool about fighting bad guys, shooting at snakes, catching rats with a net or spraying termites in an antique shop? (Have a friend who bought Bavisoft games so played them when I visited him.) The way you do it is all the same and there is nothing more to it. Although I'm gonna give out a major spoiler now, I'm gonna betray the most perfect part about my planned boss for one of my games now to give you an idea about the potential complexity I do imagine. It's gonna be a game somewhat inspired by Resident Evil, so that you will get to face him several times throughout the game and will have the choice to fight for your life or run away like hell. HOwever, he is too strong for you to beat him, you can only stun him for a while so that you have enough time to run, and he can easily beat you. In the end, however, you will gain control over a military battle vehicle equipped with a machine gun, a grenade launcher (with three possible types of grenades) and a flame thrower and will face him in this final battle. Depending on what you do, you could get several a bit different endings. You can use any of the three weapons or just try to drive over him. If you use the machine gun, although it's strong enough to get rid of most other creatures easily, he can regenerate well enough to stay healthy. The rain of bullets would however prevent him from moving ahead very quickly, so that you could easily run away and end the game in one possible way. If you use the grenades, it would either do nothing to him as well or would injure him seriously, so that he would get out of your way for a while, but his regeneration would again make him stand up after some time. And if you used the flame thrower or ran over him, you'd crush him like a bug (hey, hey, Super Liam! :-) but it of course would be pretty darn difficult to do so that the battle would have something really tough to it... Not to mention that if you combined the weapons together, you'd still achieve nothing except stunning or paralysing him for a while and thus getting a less satisfying ending, if you didn't use fire or the weight of the vehicle, again.

I read the reviews of sighted games, and I know that blind games are nothing in comparison with those ones.

As for the rumour about joining the criminals in GG, I actually once read the line, it might have even been in a review in audyssey. I can't remember who the reviewer was, but he said he'd heard that you could do it. I'll search through my Audyssey issues until I find it again. As for Code Factory's games, I tried KM 2000, which is action. I saw the other game, Private Detective school, but don't know what it's like, because I haven't tried the demo.

Re: [Audyssey] Chillingham and games with replay value
Hi all, I have found the article. It is a review of GG written by Randy Hammer. It is in the 23rd issue of Audyssey. I have pasted some of the lines below: ' There's also the matter of the plot. There is very little flexibility in the game. In fact, the story line is not changeable at all that I can find. Somewhere I remember reading that you can change the plot by trying to become a criminal instead of a lawman, but I can't seem to find a way to do this. Add to the linear plot the fact that the game is rather unbalanced. This means that you start off relatively easy, and slowly ramp up with each mission. The game gets generally harder by the addition of more enemies per encounter and the speed at which they attack. This is great until you reach the final mission. At this point the game goes from medium difficulty straight to incredibly hard! As of this publishing I don't know of anyone else who has beaten the game besides myself, mainly because of the last mission. I agree that the last mission should be terribly difficult, but there should be a better segue into it.' Ari ___ Gamers mailing list ..

well I have played Grizzly Gulch, and I think it has a good replay value and I haven't gotten very far in Chillingham because it keeps causing an error that I haven't had the time to fix so that I could play it more, but from what I have played so far Chillingham and Grizzly Gulch have good replay value. Chillingham is about this guy who gets a letter from his friend in Chillingham and he could tell that she was in trouble and goes to Chillingham to rescue her from whatever is going wrong, or something like that. Someone who has probably played it more can tell you more about it. BEAN ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] Chillingham and games with replay value
Hi, Ari. GMA does have a online ordering wizard built in to the games. It walks you through the ordering process, and you then just paste your order in to an email and send. As for having to recieve unlock codes for games as a end user I don't like them either, but what would you expect a developer to do to secure their products. It is not there to lock out paid users, but to attempt to crack down on the users who would download the demo, enter in a stolen product id, and get away with steeling the game. ___ Gamers mailing list ..
