Yeah it was nice while it lasted but with the core devs pritty much no 
go and spiradic listings of everything else who knows.


Coolblindtech some more stuff to and it was getting to big.

I mean back before the net and when you had 3.5 inch disks via mail yeah 
it worked but now there is a lot of information.

Hello, everyone. I've just come across this thread about the Audyssey 
magazine I created so many years ago now. The kind folks at

Www.audiogames.net 

Have been kind enough to keep an archive of all issues created by Ron 
and I with so many brilliant contributions from the community. So much 
has changed since those days. Every so often, I've been asked about 
the prospects of starting the magazine up again. I don't really see a 
need for a new ezine with so much information about accessible games 
so easily found online. The whole atmosphere of community has changed. 
I doubt developers would be as open with what they're working on today 
given the abuse many of them got from impatient gamers. Putting issues 
together would be a harder proposition.
The Applevis site has really filled the gap nicely for people 
interested in games for iPhones and iPads. Also, Audiogames.net keeps 
chugging along nicely for pretty much all other platforms. That's 
tremendously good for people into game consoles and such. My sense is 
that people are finding out about the kinds of games available. There 
may well be dificulties in more niche areas like accessible tabletop 
rpg and board games. In my experience, Google seems to match people up 
pretty well if they know enough to search for the right key words.
These days, I'm working on segments for the Kelly and Company show on 
AMi Audio

Www.ami.ca 
Also, I'm currently writing the second edition of my Personal Power 
guide for iOS users who are blind. Despite its imperfections, the 
first edition still seems to be helping people and did some real good 
earlier in the pandemic. I'm hopeful that the second edition will help 
people similarly if they choose iO

S as we move through and hopefully out of the pandemic.

[blind-gamers] Adventure at c:

[Gary Price(Gmail)]

Good morning everyone!

Well it's that time in England anyway.


Has anyone on here played this game referenced in the subject?

If yes, how on earth do you get past the corrupt sectors?


I can get to the edge of them, indicated by that loud click kind of sound.


But then, no matter what I try, I just can't jump past it!


Any replies appreciated!

Re: [blind-gamers] looking for this old dos RPG game

[Stephen]

Hi.
No, it's not world of legends, I remember playing this particular game in the 
early 2000s, before 2006, it ran under pure dos, and you didn't use numbers to 
input commands, you used the standard commands north, south, east, west, ETC.
There was even a text file that was presumably displayed when you finished the 
game.
It says "Yeah, you beat the game, now get back to work!"
The game also featured a place called stonewall crescent, if I remember 
correctly.
Sorry, but that's all I can remember.  It might have been referenced in one of 
the early audyssey magazine issues.

Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but there is the game world of 
legends.

https://audiogames.net/db.php?id=World+of+Legends


It was released in 2006, but plays in a dos style console window, and 
does have healing potions and other things, as well as lots of strange 
enemies; always worth at least one play through for the unique content 
and minigames, albeit the writing can be a bit weird at times, and sadly 
the game really feels unfinished in it's latter half.


Also fully runs on windows 10 so feel free to give it a go.


All the best,


Dark.
