[goshawk on horseback]

very possibly it is like a lot of the games I have requested, where the site 
and/or download link either doesn't work, or no longer exists.

If you found one, then there apparently is such a game, or you would not
have found it.

I'm not sure what the point of such a game would be, but I do not know of
any such audio game existing.  The key word is "audio", because there
apparently is such a game, as you did find it.  Also, because you cannot
download it has nothing to do with whether it exists or not.  Why could you
not download it?

[Audyssey] The gate: Carmilla, weaon of choice

[Tobias Vinteus]

Hi,
Which weapon should I go for in the battle with Carmilla?
I suppose that, as she is a vampire, the lightning rod is the way to go? 
She sure can take a heck of a beating with it.

Re: [Audyssey] Portable interactive fiction game playing device/unit

[Thomas Ward]

Hi Jacob,

Cool. Sounds like a nifty little gaming device you got there. The only
thing is while I do like interactive fiction games I'm not sure I'd
want to pay out the investment for something like this myself since I
only play interactive fiction  games occasionally. If the /Raspberry
device had a broader spectrum of games I might actually consider the
investment in something like it since it would come in handy in times
like now when I may be in the hospital for an extended amount of time
with little to nothing to do. Dragging around a laptop isn't really an
option in my case and I don't have a smartphone so I could see
something like your Raspberry Pie being a nice little device between
those extremes.

Re: [Audyssey] Portable interactive fiction game playing device/unit

[Jacob Kruger]

Thomas, it's way more than just an interactive fiction gaming unit, but that 
was my sort of context-specific posting to this list.


It's a full debian linux PC that literally fits in the palm of your hand, 
and in terms of portability, biggest issue would be needing to use it with 
an external keyboard.


My primary reason for actually getting hold of one was since want to try 
using it as a small, portable, low-end web server, and have got 80% of that 
process sorted - apache is installed, along with PHP script processing, and 
now just need to still get MySQL support installed, and good to go.


Check out the mainstream documentation page:
http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianDocumentation

And, the less than complete VI specific usage website:
http://www.raspberryvi.org/

Did also try out frotz interpreter, with wumpus.z5 yesterday, via SSH 
terminal, working on unit, and worked pretty much perfectly though.


Stay well

Re: [Audyssey] Important Message About Me and the List

[dark]

Hi.

My appologies for being totally out of comunication for the last few days, 
lets just say games haven't exactly been a priority, indeed this is the 
first time I've checked my mail in nearly two weeks.


I'm really sorry to hear about the medical troubles, and I hope Tom is okay, 
he'll definitely be missed on list, and on the audiogames.net forum as well.

Hope he gets well soon and indeed sees this message.

All the best,

Dark.

Hello everyone,

This is a very important message from your friendly neighborhood
moderator and list owner to let you know what to expect over the next
few weeks. Unfortunately, I have some very bad news to share, and to
be frank about it I have held off way too long without saying
anything. The news essentially is this.

For quite some time my health has been in serious decline. I've been
tied up with medical tests, doctor appointments, and other things
dealing with my medical situation thus have virtually no time to
attend to the Audyssey List, working on writing games, or about
anything else outside of my day to day situation. I had intended to
promote one or two moderators in my place to look after the list, but
unfortunately my life has been so utterly crazy of late I have not
even managed to do that. So I hope that all of you can get along and
bare with me as it is likely or even possible over the next few weeks
this list will not have any hands on moderation or oversight as I go
into and out of the hospital for various operations, testing, and so
on. If I can I will try and assign a moderator before I go into the
hospital, but given the time frame I'm thinking that is doubtful. Plus
I would hate to just dump the list on him or her and leave for x
amount of time anyway.

In any case here is the scoop. Thursday I'll be going into the
hospital all day for various tests. The following Tuesday I will be
going into the hospital for an operation, and will probably not have
internet access for a few days as I recover So I do expect at least a
week or so in mid November without a list moderator to look after
things here. I Can see that probably won't be a problem, nor am I
expecting one, but I thought you all should know Justin case you try
to reach me and I am totally unreachable over the next two or three
weeks.

Thanks.

Sincerely,
Thomas Ward
Owner-Moderator of the Audyssey Mailing List

Hello all airhockey fans. Have you ever wanted to play airhockey on 
your ios

device? Well, now you can cause blindfold airhockey is officially outJ.
Below is description from IOS app store


Blindfold Air Hockey is an fully accessible audio game that's similar 
to the

arcade game Air Hockey.

In Blindfold Air Hockey, you have a mallet or paddle, and there's a 
puck on
the playing table. To start the game, hit the puck swiping your 
finger. The

puck heads towards your opponent's goal, where he knocks it back to you,
bouncing off of the walls as it gets closer to your goal. You block his
shot, and fire the puck back at his goal. The first player to score 7 
goals

wins the game.

Using head phones or ear buds, you hear the puck heading towards you, 
and
you control your mallet by moving your finger left and right. When 
the puck
is close enough, you'll hear a ding sound, and you can swipe the puck 
aim at

your opponent's goal.

Blindfold Air Hockey comes with a tutorial level, and 16 different 
opponents

- varying from beginner to expert.

Blindfold Air Hockey was suggested by several blind gamers who enjoyed
Blindfold Breakout and Blindfold Bowling.

The game comes with coins; you need one coin to play. To get more 
coins, you
can listen to advertising videos, or purchase coins as an in-app 
upgrade.
