Re: [Audyssey] several messages
Hi Dark. Thank you very much for your assistance, I had considered using the old console mode version of Frotz which was specifically built for Windows 95 console mode, however it is as old as the hills and doesn't support things like timed input, music etc. etc. I'm looking for a fully featured interpreter as I'm not only planning to play these games myself but also introduce these Infocom games to friends who until now have never heard of them. I have to consider ease of setting up and use, if people have to keep coming back to me then either they or I will lose interest.

Hi Raul. Thanks for your advice and the links to the games you wrote.

I have no issues with any of them except the Zcode interpreters at the moment, I'm going to investigate a number of alternatives to David Kinder's port of Frotz and will feed back if I have any luck for the benefit of the community.

Hi Thomas. I still mess around with DOS as a hobbies and have the hardware synths and software for it, however I've just had to locate a new laptop as the one i was using died after some 17 years long hard service, not unfortunately under my tender ministrations. I've now managed to find an HP Omnibook machine however whether it'll be too powerful is still something I'm dithering over since whether I can still get the DOS drivers for the various components is a consideration. all the best, Ibrahim. -Original Message- From: Thomas Ward Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2012 4:04 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] question regarding emon games Hi Shaun, Well, it wasn't that the Dectalk etc requires more than one set of drivers to initialize them, but the drivers were separate from the Dos screen reader itself. You got a floppy disc with your unit which you installed to your Dos PC and then to initialize the synth you ran a batch file like c:\dtexp\dtexp.bat to initialize the Dectalk Express. The Dectalk PC and various other hardware synths had a similar procedure for initializing the synth before using it with your screen reader. Once that was done you could do something like c:\Jaws\jaws to run Jaws for Dos to begin speaking. In any case that is all pretty academic now. Very few people actually own hardware synths and most of the screen readers for Dos are closed source and aren't suitable for an open source project like Dos Box. So I think if we want speech in Dos Box someone is going to have to reinvent the wheel by figuring out how to create a TSR type shell that runs on top of the Dos shell and speaks everything via synth like ESpeak. Either that or somehow integrate the speech directly into Dos Box itself rather than as a separate application that can be bolted on as needed. :D On 10/17/12, shaun everiss sm.ever...@gmail.com wrote: Hmmm. I am not sure. I have been able through public and other means to access manuals on disks, the net and other computers I was able to get access to over the years. The dos readers were mostly tsr shells that simply ran over the command prompt but allowed it to run. The screen itself was read directly via device con which was a direct screen port, probably there was or were irqs and ports for various devices. or memmory addressing. It would only read text modes supported by the video card and culd read lines and symbols and other stuff. info was directly input via a direct link to the keyboard device. For most there were no drivers though there were configurations simular to scripts at least in mastertouch which were like our say application settings in control panel would be now. Ofcause the reader could only do 1 thing at once but dos could only do one thing at once. I should imagine there was some buffer in memmory, though vertual buffers were configured at startup as well as file handles and stack addresses. Sertainly I don't think things were ever created on the fly. Most synths well actually the keynote gold were supported directly with a driver the reader ran itself. any intercepts would be started and stopped when reader launched and were part of the startup program. I have read that some synths like the dectalk all versions the keynote pc card and a few others like accent and maybe artic needed 1 or more device drivers to init them. Ofcause we can't exactly do that in windows. I used to use a keynote on windows and it worked fine. However I tried dectalk with hal and the system failed. I reformatted about 10 times or so. each time the system other got the wrong language, or its video card chain broke. My theory was but never proven that it tried to directly access a memmory address or port. Due to security reasons just after win95 was released, ms blocked direct access to hardware to prevent memmory address stealing like happened in windows 3.11. It does mean though that you can't traditionally read the screen without mangling something. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] question regarding emon games
Hi Thomas. Here Here, I've managed to find myself a laptop which looks as if it could serve reasonably well. Its an HP Omni book 2100 with a 3.2GB hard drive, 32MB of memory, MMX processor running at 233MHZ and integrated floppy and cd rom drives. I've been doing my research and although the machine doesn't have drivers for DOS and Windows 3.1X, a little digging and improvisation should get most of the hardware working well enough. I too had a lot of difficulties getting my Apollo synthesizers working well under a virtual machine environment of DOS and so I've decided to spend what could be a very small amount depending on how the auction goes on this little gem.

Unfortunately, most people these days don't have the right hardware or the software for Dos support. Anyway, the biggest problem I've encountered is the fact that older hardware synths won't work with a new computer. Every laptop I've purchased in the last six years or so don't have a serial port, and are USB only. I've tried various USB to serial converter cables with no luck. I've heard it can be done, but haven't found that one that works correctly with my aging Dectalk Express. I also have a Dectalk PC, and that one is a lost cause.

Hi Shaun. Sounds like you had a lot of bother, but the joys of playing text adventures under my native DOS are just too good an opportunity for me to pass this one up. If I can get the hardware cheap, I can make it a labour of love and rig up the DOS computer I've always cherished. Call me sad but I have many happy memories playing AGT, TADS, ZCode and Alan games, plus of course all those games that were never ported to the programming standards of IF including Humbug and Jacaranda Jim by Graham Cluley, the Hugo trilogy and on.

You got a floppy disc with your unit which you installed to your Dos PC and then to initialize the synth you ran a batch file like c:\dtexp\dtexp.bat to initialize the Dectalk Express. The Dectalk PC and various other hardware synths had a similar procedure for initializing the synth before using it with your screen reader. Once that was done you could do something like c:\Jaws\jaws to run Jaws for Dos to begin speaking. In any case that is all pretty academic now. Very few people actually own hardware synths and most of the screen readers for Dos are closed source and aren't suitable for an open source project like Dos Box.

Hi Dark. Did you say you were successfully using Winfrotz? If you could, please let me have the version number you are using, perhaps the later versions have issues with JAWS.

All the best, Ibrahim. -Original Message- From: dark Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2012 10:58 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Text Verses TTS Output Hi Tom. To be honest your points about dos environments strike me as more to do with the os itself than the game. For me, playing interactive fiction with winfrotz and dolphin curser, and a dos game in the windows prompt with dolphin curser is pretty much the same experience. yes, one has a menue at the top and one does not, but there are ways to hide that in winfrotz and obviously I use them, plus they are there if I want to activate tts, review a log of the game etc. While I agree that in a plane text command line os things are! more accessible to screen readers because of the lack of a complex gui, once the game is running I don't really see that the os matters all that much. Yes, I suppose in a console environment you'd type out the save name and file path, but in a program like winfrotz I just type save, write the name in the edit box and hit entter, maybe tabbing if I want a different directory. So, it strikes me we should maintain our discussion of the game only. About deafblind support that is true, however on the sapi and voices issue I don't think proprietory voices are quite as much a big deal, sinse there are already enough sapi output only applications to make investing in a reasonable voice a good matter for a gamer who wants one, and not all are as expensive as realspeak anymore. Not including something because some people may not pay to have a good example of it is to me like saying well everyone has a keyboard, but only some people will buy a joystick so I won't include joystick support in my game indeed, to me a good sapi voice is as necessary for gaming as a joystick in other circumstances. of course because dolphin are silly about the supernova api ( a fact I have! talked to them about), I probably have more experience using sapi than other people, sinse I use it in games like lone wolf, or the mushclient pack as well as specifically outputting games like jim's or the spoonbill ones. To be honest, perhaps because there are good arguments on either side the best way would be to include both? ie, write text to a window, and! have sapi or whatever speak it with the option of turning this of. There are programs that do this already of course, winfrotz in fact being an example (albeit that the sapi support there is still a little clunky), so it is clearly possible. If we are talking about choice however, that! would seem the best option. satisfying people who want to use their own screen readers, or people who prefer sapi. Indeed, in the case of vipmud, mushclient and winfrtoz I often use both at once myself, sinse in muds obviously it is important to have incoming text read automatically, but checking spelling or quickly going to and reviewing a specific item of data such as what I'm wearing on my head in the equipment screen is often handy, and for that supernova's virtual curser is my friend. Of course, if this is! an either or type of situation, and there is some good reason (including simply it being too much work), that providing both alternatives wouldn't be reasonable fair enough. however, sinse there are good arguements on either side I think perhaps some sort of compromise might be in order.

Its one of those things that most computer techs know, but never seems to be learned by the majority of average PC users. They seem to think they can run out and by a new PC with a huge 2 TB drive, fill it up with pictures and music and not expect the PC to slow down or take forever booting.

However, I will stick to my point the more stuff you put on the drive the slower it will get. To give you an example there was a Win 7 computer here that I did basic maintenance on which improved system performance but it still booted slow and took forever to load applications. It turned out my wife had 250 GB of pictures and videos on the drive. We got an external drive, moved everything to the external, and deleted everything from the c: drive. The moment we deleted all 250 GB of pictures and home videos Windows 7 ran twice as fast. So I have proof that putting too much stuff on c: is a performance killer as I've seen it firsthand.

I don't play mud's though I should as I love text adventures, however VIP MUD from GMA is an excellent client so I'm given to understand, so Kirsten, you could try that and see how you get on. You can get it from GMA Games website at www.gmagames.com and at least it will let you play freely on Valhalla, so you can try it out and see if it is right for you. All the best, Ibrahim. -Original Message- From: Thomas Ward Sent: Friday, October 26, 2012 1:06 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] An intro and a question Hi Kirstan, That's because the developer of the mud clients has failed to update the mud client to meet current design standards. Its not the fault of Microsoft but the client's developer. For example, every operating system since Windows 2000 is suppose to store settings and and other personal data in the user's local app data folder. On XP the files for Mush should go in c:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\Mush 4.84 and on Windows 7 they should go in c:\Users\User Name\App Data\Roming\Mush 4.84 which is usually pretty easy to obtain through the Windows API. However, many developers continues saving personal files to c:\Program Files even when Microsoft consistently told developers to abandon the practice and use the user's local App Data folder instead for personal files and data. Anyway, as of Windows Vista Microsoft added a new security service, User Account Control, which was an attempt to give Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 similar security found on Mac OS and Linux by blocking read/write access to system directories etc which could be infected by malware like viruses and worms. Problem is Microsoft has added the security Windows needs to help keep the OS safe from malware, but many developers have not upgraded their software to be User Account Control compliant for one reason or another. So we the users have to make a choice to either disable the new security service, or find a workaround for the problem. That's why you can't just install a client like Mush and run it on Windows 7. Its because the developer/developers havn't taken the time to fix their programs to run properly on Windows 7. As for gmud I have never tried that one. Its worth a try though. The only way to know if it works is to try it. You know what they say, nothing ventured nothing gained. Cheers! On 10/25/12, Kirstan Mooney kmoo...@ihug.co.nz wrote: Thank you very much Thomas. Ooo it all sounds pretty darn scary! Why can't mud clients just work properly on Windows 7 like they do in XP? Don't suppose it is worth me trying to use Gmud on Windows 7 is it?

Re: [Audyssey] IF Archive
Hi Dennis. Interactive Fiction AKA Text Adventures are totally different to Mud's as I understand it, where Mud's are primarily based on exploration with other players, stat building, combat at and the like, I don't think they'd be a fit for the archive. Text adventures do share some MUD like elements but they are their own genre in their own right, though we are seeing multiplayer applications becoming more mainstream for these games though in a different way to MUD's. All the best, Ibrahim. -Original Message- From: Dennis Towne Sent: Sunday, November 04, 2012 8:04 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: [Audyssey] IF Archive I recently saw mention of the I F Archive, so I checked it out. I actually didn't even know it existed; if you like I F and you haven't been there, I recommend it. Naturally, I went looking for MUD related information, and while there's a couple of MUDs listed, they seem to be used more as chat rooms and hangout zones than games. My question is: does it make sense to try to expand out a section for MUDs in general on the archive? I haven't really been able to convince myself that it's a good idea. MUDs are related, but not really the same thing as I F. However, the archive seems to be extremely open and diverse, and maybe the managers think differently. Is it worth trying?

HI Darren. Ah, you're playing one of the best accessible adventure games ever made for the audio gamer, a real classic. OK, when you're on the bridge, side step to the left a couple of times and run across, that way you wont fall through the bridge to your doom. You'll be facing worse before the level is over, but that's for you to find out *smile*.

Hi Keith. As Thomas said, you cant run the Mac or commodore games using a screen reader even though there were some fantastic games written for these platforms. All other interpreters can be found within the archive, Agility for Windows will play AGT games, the Hugo runtime can be downloaded from the hugo folder under programming.

An Iphone 5 with 64 gb hard drive, unlimited internet (and on a network with reasonable Uk coverage), and enough minutes of phone time to do what I want, at a not unreasonable price (after deducting cost of the phone it worked out that I'm paying 19 quid a month for phone and net service, the same hone service that I'm currently getting for 10, and yes, I think unlimited internet on my phone is! worth 9 squid a month). the handset should be turning up in about two and a half weeks (they seem to be on slow cover).

Hi Michael. If you enjoy Destino Games, perhaps you should look in to more professional interactive fiction from the likes of Infocom? I've assembled what is probably the most comprehensive Infocom collection out there, it has everything I can find on the net and then some and I'm happy to spend time with people getting them up and running playing these games. Infocom wrote over 30 Interactive Fiction stories including the original Zork anthology as well as plenty of other games where you can be any one of a dozen different characters from a detective solving a complex murder, a framed suspect at a murder party, an apprentice sorcerer taking out an evil powerful wizard a space ranger lost on an uncharted planet to name but a few. Let me know if interested, I'll upload the collection to Dropbox for you to enjoy and help you get up and running with an interpreter appropriate to your system.

Re: [Audyssey] Infocom Archive - now on dropbox!
Hi. There are a couple of choices. I personally use the Filfre interpreter however that does have a major floor the author is currently aware of and working on where in games that exit abruptly when completed or when you are killed don't output their text to the screen, the interpreter simply asks you to select a new story. Death in Suspended and winning Infidel are two cases in point, though I'm sure I could find others. There is an excellent if slightly dated port of Winfrotz by Rich Lawrence since the current version is inaccessible at least to me using the latest version of JAWS. Best thing to do is to write me directly, I could then point you in the right direction depending on what OS you are using as there are console mode options as well for the slightly technically minded or adventurous spirits amongst you. Also if you want to play Arthur, Shogun, Zork Zero, Journey or Beyond Zork, Filfre will not be an option as it doesn't support the formatting of these games, you'll have to use a port of Winfrotz. All the best, Ibrahim. -Original Message- From: Thomas Ward Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 7:40 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Infocom Archive - now on dropbox!

Re: [Audyssey] Infocom Archive - now on dropbox!
Hi Thomas. If you would, that would be fantastic! I cant for love nor money get anything out of the latest version of WinFrotz using JAWS 13 and Windows 7 64-bit, its completely inaccessible and the thought of using TTS voices makes me cringe, I prefer to have complete flexibility when it comes to reading. Filfre is a good interpreter but it does have its floors, namely it wont play Z6 games and there is a bug the author is aware of which swipes the screen when a game abruptly exits for instance when you win Infidel or die in Suspended to name a couple.

Re: [Audyssey] Infocom Archive - now on dropbox!
Hi Kimberly. Well, since you dare to tread in our thread *smile*, why not take the opportunity to grab my archive of Infocom goodies, they're text based games which I'm sure both you and your little one will find engaging, challenging not to mention educational and fun at the same time. I'm not going to make health claims and benefits backed up by dubious science or anything LOLOL, however reading, writing and thinking are all that is required to enjoy a text adventure and they will help your son with these activities in a fun and challenging way. There are a couple of junior level Infocom games which might appeal, Seastalker and Wishbringer, plus the Zork games have massive appeal right across the board with players young and old. I'll be on hand to help get everything up and running and the best part of all, its all completely free, not a penny cent required by me or anyone else.

OK, for all you Interactive Fiction nerds and for those of you who mightn’t have played an IF title before, I’m delighted to enclose my Infocom collection, a file containing over 500 megabytes of goodies including manuals, maps, hints, solutions and other miscellaneous files, back issues of their in house magazine, game patches, articles and so on. The games can be played using a ZCode interpreter which i will help out in obtaining, installing and using as well as on an IPhone, IPod or IPad with the free Frotz download from the app store. This has been a labour of love collecting all this stuff together, so if anyone has anything to contribute that is Infocom related but perhaps not included here, please let me know and I’ll do my best to source it, lets make this thing as complete an archive as we possibly can. Link follows and I hope you all enjoy what is on offer. https://www.dropbox.com/s/8rl99dbd2rnxiid/Infocom%20Collection.zip All the best, Ibrahim. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] Infocom Interpreters
Hi Everyone. Just thought I’d make things easier for everyone looking for all the Infocom interpreters we’ve discussed here. This zip file contains the entire contents of the if-archive’s Infocom Interpreters folder, so while a lot of the files here will probably not be relevant, all the interpreters discussed here including Filfre and Winfrotz in all its flavours are included. As an aside, I’m getting reports that some people are experiencing difficulties downloading the file from my dropbox account, so those of you who have dropbox or other file sharing capacity, please share with your friends the archive you downloaded to reduce the strain a little.

Re: [Audyssey] Its here! my Infocom archive for you all
Hi Thomas. Precisely, I use SkyDrive on a daily basis, I only have dropbox for those odd occasions I want to share files with people unable or unwilling to create a Microsoft account. In my opinion, Dropbox is slower to upload to, also it offers very niggardly free space, for instance 2GB to the 7GB offered as standard with SkyDrive and the plans for upgrade at the time I started using SkyDrive were very competitive compared to Dropbox. I'm the kind of person who once they've found something that works usually sticks to the same unless I've a really good reason to have to change things.

Re: [Audyssey] Its here! my Infocom archive for you all
Hi Dark. I've been meaning to look in to the new plans Sendspace offer since a friend told me that Sendspace had simplified things a lot the last time I visited. I'll have to go check them out, however I'll probably still use SkyDrive as sharing is a pane in the ass with the account creation thing.

The free account isn't much, just 1 gb, but The paid account which costs less than dropbox gives you absolutely unlimted space. With super fast pro links there is a 100 gb bandwidth sharing limit a month, but pro links aren't really needed as you can just use normal links, and the wizard makes managing your files and even downloading other ss users' files much easier, indeed I was impresed with the way that they fixed labelling on buttons in the wizard once myself and several other people raised access points. Of course, choice is up to you, but like yourself I find something I like and tend to stick with it, and where file sharing or online stoarage is concerned that thing for me is sendspace.

Re: [Audyssey] Its here! my Infocom archive for you all
Hi Dark. Yes, I see what you mean about the new plans, I'm tempted to go with the pro plan at 6.99 euros, I just wish they'd take PayPal as a payment method as my bank is heavy handed on the charges with international transactions on my card. All the best, Ibrahim. -Original Message- From: dark Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2012 3:56 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Its here! my Infocom archive for you all Hi ibrahim. No need for anyone you share with to create an ss account, they can just grab the files from your links. Another nice thing about ss is that people only get access to what stuff you send them links for, thus for a long while I used ss to store an extra backup of my phd and all my reading material, but obviously i wouldn't want other people getting that. However, even if I sent people links to stuff in the same folder, they could only download the stuff I gave them links to, either files or folders. that's another thing I like about ss. The old account system wasn't too complicated, but I can see where confusion arose sinse pro and max did different things but now there are just two pro accounts, which basically change the size of the files you can upload, standard pro gives a max of 4 gb files while pro plus gives 10, and also pro plus comes with 300 gb a month of unlimited bandwidth. i'll be going pro when my max account runs out next february. As I said, use whatever system you like, but I could recommend ss, it's what all my gaming articals and podcasts are stuck up under. Beware the grue!

I've been meaning to look in to the new plans Sendspace offer since a friend told me that Sendspace had simplified things a lot the last time I visited. I'll have to go check them out, however I'll probably still use SkyDrive as sharing is a pane in the ass with the account creation thing.

The free account isn't much, just 1 gb, but The paid account which costs less than dropbox gives you absolutely unlimted space. With super fast pro links there is a 100 gb bandwidth sharing limit a month, but pro links aren't really needed as you can just use normal links, and the wizard makes managing your files and even downloading other ss users' files much easier, indeed I was impresed with the way that they fixed labelling on buttons in the wizard once myself and several other people raised access points. Of course, choice is up to you, but like yourself I find something I like and tend to stick with it, and where file sharing or online stoarage is concerned that thing for me is sendspace.

Precisely, I use SkyDrive on a daily basis, I only have dropbox for those odd occasions I want to share files with people unable or unwilling to create a Microsoft account. In my opinion, Dropbox is slower to upload to, also it offers very niggardly free space, for instance 2GB to the 7GB offered as standard with SkyDrive and the plans for upgrade at the time I started using SkyDrive were very competitive compared to Dropbox. I'm the kind of person who once they've found something that works usually sticks to the same unless I've a really good reason to have to change things.

It is Microsoft's new cloud storage system for Windows 7 and Windows 8 that ships with Windows Live Essentials. The idea is you can backup, store, or share files with other Microsoft Sky Drive users which is actually pretty cool because you can sink Windows 8 settings across a network via Sky Drive.

Hi Shaun. Thanks for the upload man, I'll take a look and see what's doing. I noticed as i prepared to upload my master Infocom archive that some of the games that should have been DE protected didn't have any info as to whether they had been. For instance as you say, in Star cross there is a chart you need to refer to at the very beginning of the game for the coordinates you need to enter in to the computer to reach your goal. Also missing is the book of treasures for Cutthroats which you need to refer to when you're planning your dive for the sunken treasure, there are two ships it could be and which ship you'll be diving for is determined at the very beginning of the game. Anyway, enough said, thanks for the file and I'll let you know if i find anything else that could enhance the archive.

Re: [Audyssey] infocom collection major bug!
Hi Shaun. I will investigate and get back to you on this, I need to find out whether the games have been deprotected or not, if not then I will find accessible alternatives to the problems presented by the feelies where I can. AMFV has a file describing how it has been patched as do most of the other games, however the original compiler of the games decided to include released and patched copies just in case there were problems with interpreters not accepting the patches. The Extra Resources folder in the archive contains all the folders with a couple of exceptions of the Interactive Fiction Archive's Infocom folder and there is a patches folder in there, though whether they contain the deprotection patches or information related to them I've yet to determine but will do so over the weekend.

Hi ibriham indeed there are patches and unprotected patches zip files. However there are instructions to get a decription program and other things. To be honest, it would be better if the files for those patches were compiled with the patches installed and the patches taken out. I just looked at the patched version of the games like stationfall, obviously things were patched but there were not any unprotected patches, even with the data I have from infodoc, any number I enter simply doesn't work at all. In starcross i have all the ums mostly so I can enter the right numbers, but yeah really unless we have to rely on a statusline that well can't be read in winfrotz the archive will probably be vary broken, most of it is playable but not all. I remember playing station fall on dos and it worked so it may just be because its a windows interpreter but don't know. The patch pat files are quite useless to the standard gamer as they are incripted with an old program and need to be compiled. Doesn't matter if they are there or not. We can't use them.

Re: [Audyssey] Kitchensinc games
Hi Jewel. I believe I wrote to you off list with my suggestions and a link to download my uploaded Interpreters collection. For reference though, I attach my reply to your message below: Hi Jewel. OK, please download the interpreters by clicking on the following link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7o1s3fll841k12o/interpreters.zip Once you’ve extracted the same, you will have everything you need to start playing and enjoying these classics. Colossal Cave was the defining game that put Adventuring of this kind on the map and in to the public domain, however Infocom games are far richer in atmosphere and have much deeper plot development along with the complexity required to challenge even the most ardent puzzle solver. If you are using Windows, you have two choices. Filfre which is the interpreter I recommend presently due to its working on my Windows 7 64-bit installation with JAWS 13, or WinFrotz which has the community divided, some saying it works well and others not at all. WinFrotz is the better interpreter of the two for a couple of reasons; Firstly it supports all the ZCode versions and secondly it has more viewing customisation options including an ability to use a text to speech SAPI engine to output text. Filfre on the other hand works exceedingly well with JAWS and is preferred if you intend on using the JAWS cursor to review the outputted text. The one issue with Filfre I have reported to the author concerns game text disappearing should the game abruptly end. To give a couple of examples, in the game Suspended when you die, the game quits abruptly without giving you the option to save, restore etc. As soon as the game ends, the last displayed text disappears so you never know what happened to cause the game to end. This should be fixed in a future update and I will of course let you all know when that becomes available as soon as I know. All the best and please, don't hesitate to get back in touch should you need further help. All the best and happy adventuring, Ibrahim. -Original Message- From: Jewel Sent: Monday, November 26, 2012 9:01 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Kitchensinc games Ibrahim! I downloaded the Infocom collection that you sent to the list recently, have read the beginners' guide, and I recognise many of the commands from my Colossal Cave days, and even the suggestion of drawing a map of the location of rooms and routes was familiar. Obviously, that was written for sighted players. Has any totally-blind one found a way of doing the same? The colossal Cave is the only infocom game I have played and that was in the days before I had access to the internet so I used a floppy disk. I would like to have a crack at the ones you made available, but how do you start them? I thought that there would be an executable file, but there isn't. Is the winfrotz a separate program that I have to download? When I try to open the files that are marked with a z, the computer tells me that it can't open them as it has to know in what program they were created: do I want it to go on-line to get the appropriate software?

Re: [Audyssey] Shades of doom audio review.
Hi Lori. Congrats on a great little review, though I found the buzzing really distracting unfortunately, so you might want to look in to why that is happening. Shades of Doom was one of my favourite accessible games back in the day and I do from time to time still play it. I am an avid gamer, I particularly enjoy action/rpg games and also text based interactive fiction, fighting fantasy and some though not all combat and stat building games.. I'm in the UK too so feel free to write me off list, perhaps we could become good friends.

Re: [Audyssey] Announcement from Draconis Entertainment
Hi Guys. What does the blindness ability to see and interpret colour have to do with accessible gaming? I joined a list to discuss accessibility in different games and audio games etc., not to see reams and reams of messages about whether a blind person can understand different colours in context. For someone who has never seen, colours are just words to me. They have no meaning, they might as well be numbers or letters. If we could bring this discussion to a close then I for one would be grateful.

Since I've never seen colour, a lot of people think I don't know what colours are, but everyone is taught from an early age to map colours in their head (through primary/elementary school and prior to).

We will try to answer questions posted here to the best of our ability, but please keep in mind that we will not be going into great depth about unannounced future titles, as has always been our policy. It has been a long time coming, but the dragon has awakened at last. Pull up a chair, and we'll fill you in on what we've been doing. Draconis Entertainment has spent the last few years working on a next-generation game engine for audio gaming. We had several key goals in mind as we began working on this project. * We wanted to future-proof our games. A game engine that could easily be maintained and kept current in-line with modern operating systems, eliminating the problems of incompatible or out-of-date dependencies was essential. * We wanted cross-platform compatibility. We are Mac users ourselves, and only supporting Windows was no longer satisfactory. Our new game engine will work on Mac OS X, Windows, and iOS devices. * We wanted a game engine so flexible that it would support any kind of game-style we chose to throw at it, and to build all future releases on top of the same core. * We wanted to bring our prices down. If the game engine really was as capable as we designed it to be, this would mean more rapid development once the core of the engine was complete. The enormity of this undertaking cannot be understated. The game engine will be continually enhanced and expanded as we release more and more titles. You will see our games grow in size and complexity with each release as we push the limits of what the engine is capable of. To put this into perspective, the game engine itself, not counting any game specific code, currently spans over 130,000 lines of code. The game engine has been under active testing by an incredible group of beta testers for the last two years, to whom we are enormously grateful. We could not have done this without them. Thank you all! Looking ahead.. Our plan going forward is to begin releasing both new titles as well as expanded versions of old ones that have been rewritten from the ground up for the next-generation Draconis game engine.. As our focus has been on perfecting the engine, the first couple of titles will be new versions of some of our classic games with tons of new features, new audio, new modes of play, and so on. All-new titles will be coming very soon thereafter, with more classic titles staggered between new releases. In general, we expect desktop titles to be released first for Mac OS X, followed soon after by Windows versions. Mobile games for iOS are also in development, as well as special mobile versions of games that have been traditionally meant for desktops. Our desktop game development has been broken into two distinct fazes. Initial game design and development is now being done on Mac OS X with the primary coders and a team of beta testers, while a separate coder and set of Windows testers will work on the Windows release as the game's initial design and development wraps up. It is with great excitement, that we are pleased to announce the immediate availability of our first Mac OS X title, which is expected to be available for Windows in the first quarter of 2013 as well. ChangeReaction, Draconis Entertainment's classic audio puzzle game for the blind and visually impaired comes to OS X with new audio, three entirely different modes of game play, a host of new features, and a cheaper price tag! Primarily intended for blind and visually impaired gamers, ChangeReaction is played via the keyboard and your ears. Navigate the game board with the arrow keys, dropping coins on the stacks to create chains of explosions and rack up higher and higher scores! Match three coins of the same denomination vertically or horizontally to trigger a chain reaction that blows up all adjacent coins of the same value! This game has no visual element. Use your fingers, ears, and wits to rack up the highest scores possible! * Choose from three distinctly different variations of game play. * All modes

For me, they are a similar interest, and I do not generally do much by way of social interaction sinse it's exploration of the world and it's concepts that is the key, even if something like core exiles. You can't argue that a game like king of dragon pass or the recently released smugglers 5 is a low brain activity simply by virture of it's text and atmosphere, indeed I've learnt myself many usefull techniques, web navigation with a screen reader, resource calculation, mental mapping etc which I likely would've have learnt if I hadn't bee exploring a game's world. I do fully agree with the artical that there can be occasions when too much gaming is used as a cover for other problems or a coping mechanism, but I would see this in a vastly different light myself. A person already! suffering depression can use online games as a way of moderating feelings, sinse the ceribral processes required in several games, especially puzzles, stratogy and resource management are utterly emotionless, and thus can find a change of focus from the person's own inner state to something else until things change, and given that other responses to such feelings could be getting falling down drunk or taking drugs, then it's not really too bad. I actually agreed with the chap who says if a person has a problem with gaming, it's not the gaming that is the problem. As regards addiction, well it does always strike me a little odd that people focus on gaming addiction and admit addiction to many other hobbies. I would considder myself far! more addicted to reading than to games, sinse while I can live without access to games, I would feel something is severely wrong without a book to read. I will agree though that the gambling industry trying to interest gamers is a little worrying, though even there I do think we're under estimating people's ability to make their own choices.

For me, they are a similar interest, and I do not generally do much by way of social interaction sinse it's exploration of the world and it's concepts that is the key, even if something like core exiles. You can't argue that a game like king of dragon pass or the recently released smugglers 5 is a low brain activity simply by virture of it's text and atmosphere, indeed I've learnt myself many usefull techniques, web navigation with a screen reader, resource calculation, mental mapping etc which I likely would've have learnt if I hadn't bee exploring a game's world. I do fully agree with the artical that there can be occasions when too much gaming is used as a cover for other problems or a coping mechanism, but I would see this in a vastly different light myself. A person already! suffering depression can use online games as a way of moderating feelings, sinse the ceribral processes required in several games, especially puzzles, stratogy and resource management are utterly emotionless, and thus can find a change of focus from the person's own inner state to something else until things change, and given that other responses to such feelings could be getting falling down drunk or taking drugs, then it's not really too bad. I actually agreed with the chap who says if a person has a problem with gaming, it's not the gaming that is the problem. As regards addiction, well it does always strike me a little odd that people focus on gaming addiction and admit addiction to many other hobbies. I would considder myself far! more addicted to reading than to games, sinse while I can live without access to games, I would feel something is severely wrong without a book to read. I will agree though that the gambling industry trying to interest gamers is a little worrying, though even there I do think we're under estimating people's ability to make their own choices.

Re: [Audyssey] Announcement from Draconis Entertainment
Hi Sky. Yes, I see what you mean, your obviously as devoted a player of these games as I was at one time, however I've never heard of such a plan from Draconis or anyone else for that matter about developing a wild west game, however the Monkey Business game engine could definatly power such a beast even though its 10 or so years old, so there is always the possibility. I love westerns myself and play sometimes with my sighted friend games like Red Dead Redemption which is a wild west scenario that is so absorbing its creepy sometimes. all the best, Ibrahim. -Original Message- From: Sky Mundell Sent: Sunday, December 16, 2012 7:44 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Announcement from Draconis Entertainment Hello, I was just asking if the guys at draconess were going to be developing a wild west game simular to the Grizzly Gulch game. yes, that's true that the silver dollar salloon is in the pinball and monkey business games. the problem with these old west in the games unlike grizzly gulch is that they're limmitted in what you can do. in grizlly gulch, you could enter the bank, General Store, Marshals office, saloon, etc. You could also catch robbers and go on bounty missions. in the ESP pinball tables and in the monkey wildWest.

We will try to answer questions posted here to the best of our ability, but please keep in mind that we will not be going into great depth about unannounced future titles, as has always been our policy. It has been a long time coming, but the dragon has awakened at last. Pull up a chair, and we'll fill you in on what we've been doing. Draconis Entertainment has spent the last few years working on a next-generation game engine for audio gaming. We had several key goals in mind as we began working on this project. * We wanted to future-proof our games. A game engine that could easily be maintained and kept current in-line with modern operating systems, eliminating the problems of incompatible or out-of-date dependencies was essential. * We wanted cross-platform compatibility. We are Mac users ourselves, and only supporting Windows was no longer satisfactory. Our new game engine will work on Mac OS X, Windows, and iOS devices. * We wanted a game engine so flexible that it would support any kind of game-style we chose to throw at it, and to build all future releases on top of the same core. * We wanted to bring our prices down. If the game engine really was as capable as we designed it to be, this would mean more rapid development once the core of the engine was complete. The enormity of this undertaking cannot be understated. The game engine will be continually enhanced and expanded as we release more and more titles. You will see our games grow in size and complexity with each release as we push the limits of what the engine is capable of. To put this into perspective, the game engine itself, not counting any game specific code, currently spans over 130,000 lines of code. The game engine has been under active testing by an incredible group of beta testers for the last two years, to whom we are enormously grateful. We could not have done this without them. Thank you all! Looking ahead.. Our plan going forward is to begin releasing both new titles as well as expanded versions of old ones that have been rewritten from the ground up for the next-generation Draconis game engine.. As our focus has been on perfecting the engine, the first couple of titles will be new versions of some of our classic games with tons of new features, new audio, new modes of play, and so on. All-new titles

Re: [Audyssey] Two-Fer-One E-mail: Laser Tag and iOS Game
Hi. Which game is this on the app store, laser tag or 2 for 1. It would help if a link to the app could be provided as well. All the best, Ibrahim. -Original Message- From: Dakotah Rickard Sent: Friday, December 21, 2012 11:54 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Two-Fer-One E-mail: Laser Tag and iOS Game Ok. Hmmm. Where to begin. The control stick for navigating your ship is located along the bottom left corner of your screen, which is put into landscape mode by default. Let's assume your Home button is to the right, your control stick is about one inch square, maybe an inch and a half, but I don't think so. It's just at the bottom left corner, and the thing you need to remember is that there is inertia and acceleration. What I mean is this. If you push the control stick on the left side or move it left, you won't just slide left. You will build up speed in that direction. If you are touching the control stick icon, your engines are firing, and you are moving in the direction you've touched. If you go outside the control stick's borders, you are no longer firing your engines, and you come to a stop over time. As for your weapons buttons, your bottom right corner, and a two inch by one inch rectangle proceeding left and up from that point is your primary firing button. Weapons fired with this button have unlimited ammunition. Above this, along the right side of the device's screen are two more panels, about an inch square, with secondary weapons firing functions. These panels fire ammunition based weapons: rockets, missiles, mines, and the like. The primary weapon for your first ship is a straight-firing energy cannon, with a firing rate of about 3 shots a second. It's pretty distinctive. As for switching ships, you start out with one ship, the Light Fighter. It's fast, maneuverable, but relatively weak in both arms and armor. You also start with a full complement of missiles and missile plumes. These two weapons, unfortunately, sound identical, and you really don't want to keep both equipped anyway, as they perform, basically, the same function, firing a projectile, or a series of five projectiles, which track to close-range targets. In the store, there are three tabs, accessed with buttons across the top. The first is the Items tab, and it contains all the ammunition based weapons that you can buy. Technically, you already own whatever weapons, you're just buying ammo for them. If you follow the left side of the device's screen, you'll see the list of weapons, starting with Homing Missile. On the right side and in the middle are various data about the selected weapon. Swiping left and right moves between these fields, and you'll see a button labeled Equipped. If you select a different weapon, rockets, for example, you will notice that the Equipped button changes to the Equip button, and it's no longer dimmed out. press this to equip the selected weapon, and you'll be prompted to choose one of your two currently equipped systems to unequip to effect the transfer. Changing ships works similarly. You select the Ships tab in the row across the top and locate a different ship in the list down the left side. Please remember that you start with only the Light Fighter. Other ships cost money. Sometimes that money is in-game, sometimes' it's real money. Explore your options and read about all the ships and their prices and characteristics in the fields in the middle and on the right. Whether you're selecting weapons or ships, there's a buy button on the bottom right, just below the Equip button. If this button is dimmed out, you can't buy it, because you don't have the funds. If you have the funds, select the buy button. As for the tutorial mission, I sort of skipped it by mistake. Any mission you choose, except I think the Tutorial, is multiplayer. Deep Space mining is the first, under the missions selection screen. There are others along the left side. You'll want to press the start button in the bottom right part of the screen to begin and the OK button in the bottom left, about an inch over, if you have any boosts. Keep in mind that there are no unlabeled buttons in ErnCon that are app-related. The only unlabeled buttons are advertisements, and these should be treated with care. If you have further questions, please ask. Signed: Dakotah Rickard On 12/19/12, Clement Chou chou.clem...@gmail.com wrote: So... I'm confused as to how to actually fly my ship.

Wordpad is basically a stripped down word processor and it attempts to add a lot of unnecessary text attributes like font and formatting information which many compilers will flag as errors.

That's why I don't use Wordpad myself unless it is a file that is too big for Notepad and that is pretty rare. Speaking of HJ Pad I don't even know if Jaws still ships with that program. I vaguely remember testing Jaws 14 demo with Windows 8 and I didn't recall HJ Pad shipping with Jaws 14.

The second number should be 172, not 142. It would be best if you didn't use the number at all, and connected to 'alteraeon.com' instead. If we have to move the server again, the number will change. The port number doesn't really matter with the current version of mush-z.

[Audyssey] Filfre has been fixed!
Hi Everyone. A wile back I mentioned an interpreter called Filfre for playing IF games from the likes of Infocom and a bug this program had when the game suddenly quit in that the text would disappear off the screen. I am pleased to say that the developer has now fixed this issue and the new version of Filfre can be downloaded from his website at: http://maher.filfre.net/filfre Of course, if there are further issues then I will be glad of any feedback so I can pass it on to the developer.

Re: [Audyssey] Future Boy was Re: The Dragon Answers Questions
Hi Michael. I have uploaded a copy of the game demo to Dropbox, this gives you a very brief taster of the game play, if memory serves you get the tutorial introduction and the first puzzle which involves springing the evil Claton Eno from jail: https://www.dropbox.com/s/t05h9x3egvhmu8c/future_boy_demo.zip Since the game is no longer distributed, perhaps you could email Kent if you want to buy a copy, I have reservations about uploading my own because it is still a commercial product and therefore under copyright, sorry to be awkward.

Re: [Audyssey] Fast paced games
Hi Lindsay. Well, there's q9, an action packed and rather addictive little game from Blastbay Studios, Shades of Doom of course, GMA Tank Commander, space invader games like Trupanum or Alien Outback, quite a few. Of course some of them have other objectives as well, but if you want fast paced action then some of the above should fit your bill.

Hi Dark. I'd also add Lindsay that there's nothing like a good Interactive Fiction title for puzzle solving and also a great story. The Interactive Fiction Archive is the place to go for all things textual, there are lots of good games out there and if you want, I can send you my Infocom archive which has not only 30 of the most commercially successful text adventures of all time, but all the feelies so you can really lose yourself in the stories and the universes of the authors imagination.

Personally for games as helping with depression I always found very ceribral puzzles or none confrontational resource management games perfect, indeed I once played smugglers 3 for nearly 36 hours straight since while I was contemplating the prices of transporting 100 robots to finis system or 100 diamonds to sirius that was all! I thought about. Same goes for card games too, particularly the very strategical ones like hearts, spades or whist. Sudoku and other spacial puzzles might work too, not to mention chess or backgammon. generally anything that requires a lot of calm, rational thinking without any confrontational elements or things such as time limits.

Re: [Audyssey] Fast paced games
Hi Dark. Ah, well it depends on what stimulates you. For my part, if I've had a really shitty day or have an anxiety attack as sometimes happens after a stressful situation, I lock myself away and play an Infocom or other other IF title. I'm an avid reader, so games that not only have great plot but some tricky puzzles and inventive words in their parsers which I have to guess at help to soothe my nerves because I am having to concentrate on the task at hand. I do enjoy games from Choice of Games and those at www.ffproject.com, however there's nothing like traditional IF for a good challenge. I recently played a very difficult but immensely satisfying game set in an abandoned school called Enemies in which you are an accountant who has been blessed with good fortune, however two school acquaintances decide to test you one night in a fight for your life puzzle fest because they've become psychotic and feel they were unfairly treated. As you solve the puzzles, the story unfolds and its really important to pay attention to detail as there are sections of the game in which you have to guess the right move at the right time. For reference, this game is by Andy Philips and is available as a ZCode game in the IF-Archive along with his other games, Heroine's Mantel, Inside Woman, Time All Things Come to an End and Heist in no particular order of publication.

Re: [Audyssey] Fast paced games now text adventures
Hi Thomas. I agree, some games are insanely unfair and have ridiculous parsers, also with the profusion of game creation tools that make adventure game creation so much simpler, there has been a profusion of dross that has come out which is frankly ridiculous and a waste of everyone's time. There are a few genuine gems though even today and it is a real shame that you cant find favour with IF and have to be motivated to play. I haven't been on Sryth for absolutely ages, however when I was there about 3 or 4 years ago, I thought the skills and allocation of experience points to them a real chore, I spent half my time training up my character and allocating experience points, even when I thought I'd maxed out my skills in certain areas I'd be beaten supposedly completely without warning I was taking on more than i could chew.

Re: [Audyssey] If games was: Fast paced games
Hi Dark. Well, it certainly sounds like you've played a lot of titles. I thoroughly enjoyed the Unkulian Underworld series, in fact they were probably the one reason if i could pinpoint anything as the cause that made me fail my GCSE exams LOL, I was too busy playing and rubbing my brow with concentration over the puzzles. If you haven't already, from Adventions you should try Unkulia Zero, probably the best of the series as well as the legend lives! probably the toughest game written for TADS, until return to ditch day that is. I personally prefer murder mystery, science fiction themed games and occasionally a little fantasy. I never liked Zork 1, it was just a glorified treasure hunt and I've seen too many of those already, however the enchanter series which are set in the Zork universe are quite good, especially Sorcerer and Spellbreaker. Other Infocom games I enjoy include Planetfall and Stationfall, the lurking horror, Infidel and Journey, the latter being a menu driven story book which not many people have played, at least not many I know of personally. If you prefer the story element of IF, Journey is definitely one to try though the interface is a little tricky to get around but well worth the work to master. Anyway, a trip down memory lane for me, I did complete spider and web and a few of the other titles you mentioned, though it was some time ago. All the best, Ibrahim. -Original Message- From: dark Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2013 11:08 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] If games was: Fast paced games Hi Ibrahim. I can't recall all the text adventures I got stuck on, but some included heroes, the tad's game see of night (both of which had lovely settings), the first unculian undventure title (again, lovely writing but annoying puzzles), Also alien abduction, and spider and web and shade by andrew plotkin. There are probably others too, not to mention Zork 1, Hitchhikers' guide and Arthur, the infocom titles I spend most time with, (again, lovely writing especially in hhg, but just bloody frustrating!).. I even got stuck on glowgrass, which an introductory artical I read on if said was supposed to be an easy intro game, - as I said, me and parza puzzles don't mix! As to some of my favourites, well those tend to be the ones I completed :d. Pretty much anything by Paul Obrian, but especially his game lash and his earth and sky series, Dreamhold by andrew plotkin (an intro to if game but one with lovely writing), and the game Babel who's author I temporarily forget. Probably my single favourite if title ever! and what for me is pretty much the pinacle as far as parza based if is concerned is the game worlds apart by Suzanne Briton. An absolutely wonderfull game where all the puzzles and challenges came entirely from understanding the very alien world and taking in information, which is just the sort of challenge I appreciate, and none were illogical! Quite ironically this was also a game that got severely hammered in the spag review, so obviously myself and the if community disagree :D. to be perfectly honest these days as Tom said I'd prefer something with a little more of a strict challenge and writing, not to mention good mechanics and stats where those help the game, indeed the if I have played most recently have been rpgs written in if languages such as wumpus 2000 and kerkkerkruip.
