If you only need to produce leather strips on the farm in a reset use the first slot to unlock meat and get enough coins then choose unlock leather strips on that same slot before you produce anything. If meat isn't needed you waste no slots producing meat that way. Same strategy holds for

locate the david voice and move it into a temp directory and make a batch file you can run to move it back where you found it. Then try playing the game and see what happens. If you loose speech reboot then run that batch file. If that voice file is an executable, you could use attrib to

I'm finding the crafting kingdom to be extremely irritating. Often times, it won't take my double taps, so I sometimes miss treasure chests, because it doesn't register my taps, then the chest goes away, and I have to yell at the phone. :) I really like the game, but I'm still puzzled as to

Jim's version of battleship was the first game I ever played when I owned a Windows machine, and I was thrilled, to say the least. Spanker, puppy1 and Simon were also favourites. Sent from my iPad > On 1 Aug 2017, at 8:53 pm, Oriol Gómez wrote: > > Oh yeah indeed, Jim's

Jim Kitchen's games were some of the first ones I played as well, as far as games that are still available now; I tried the gamesforblind.com games many years ago, but now those are nowhere to be found; I briefly tried some demo versions of PCS Games, but as far as playing a game and getting

Yes, Jim was truly a game developing genius. Techniques that today's blind game developers usually implement in BGT were done by Jim using a regular programming language; Visual Basic. I bet that Jim's games had an impact on people; some games, like Skunk, Snakes and Ladders, and Yahtzee, were
