Hi Ryan, You are totally correct about everything that you said about my baseball pitches. They are very very hard to hear if they are a strike or a ball. Personally I mostly swing at everything. I was afraid that if I made them much easier, people would just never swing and end up with

Hi. Recently, on the audiogames.net forum a post has come up about the lw soundpack. Right now i'm using the one Tom put together, which sounds great, and is I believe something of a compilation of previous ones by Phil vlasac and others. I really like it, but I'm afraid I utterly forget

Hi, Smile. Yeah, sort of looks that way. Visual Basic 6 support was officially dropped back in 2005, and unfortunately most of the accessible games out there were written in that language. Even though they can be made to work on Windows 7 I don't personally see it as anything more than a stop

Even if you don't have perfect pitch, as I don't, you might be able, with practice, determine whether the ball is within the strike zone. As far as the time you have when at bat, a major league batter swings before determining whether a ball will or will not move into the strike zone, so I
