Hmm thats the time I got the net to.
I got procom, but I didn't get my first pc modem til 1997, it was a
pc card one the next one was either usb or serial, though I really
didn't muck on dos with the net.

its one of my laments on computer stuff.
In the day my day if something went wrong you actually tried to

now, if something goes wrong a recovery disk, a reformat will fix it

one thing ishen is I am not sure what games would be good for
children, when I started I was into the net and in my late teens so
I didn't care much about what I played.
if the plot was good then I played it but if I didn't like it it got dumped.

Hi Shaun,
Seriously, it isn't rocket science. I can think of a number of
interactive fiction games that would be fine for children. Take the
Infocom games just as an example. They are clean, designed for people
of all ages, and are some great text adventures to play. At least most
of them are.
even recovery and reformat disks have graphical interfaces. even the
most popular linux first boots into a graphical interface unless you get
vinux CLI or grml console only linux.

I got the net when I was 13. in 1995 late 1995 or so. I logged in using
a shell account on a remote unix server using links and pine for web and
email. I used the program procom plus for dos.

They may have that but the one thing they don't have that a screen
reader needs is sound support to make them useable.

this shows you how much if I have played of late, I havn't touched it
in about 10 years and at least 5 of them I have not opened a single program.
Most of what I play now are audio/ text/ console or web based if at all.

Hmm it will depend on the person, half my friends are happy with
text, and even audio games others are not.
Ofcause some of my friends grew up on older systems like the acorn,
if you grow up with it then you may take it more easily, for my unger
generation of friends, if its not got graphics,
Hi
champion! you know my brother is 8 and he want to play some games and
I want to play interactive fictions with him.
so I ask about the sited people.
I have filfre in my desktop so if I want to play I have to download the game.

Thanks

Hi Shaun,
Well, as you said it all depends on the person. You make a lot of
generalizations about the younger players verses the older players
which may be true in their specific cases, but I wouldn't go as far to
say all young people are like that.
I think a lot of it comes down to exposure. If
Hello Curry-Muncher,
Yes. If you want to play an interactive fiction game you have to
download some from the interactive fiction archive or somewhere else.
Filfre, Winfrotz, and other interpreters don't come with any of the
games themselves. Just are the programs to run/play them.
Cheers!

Hi Josh,
That was sort of the idea. Something comical, not too serious, and
that wouldn't necessarily be offensive.

Hi
Recently I posted about interactive fiction.
so One thing I want to ask in this context.

installing the interpreter.
Thanks

Hi Ishen.
Lots of sighted people play and right interactive fiction, so there is no
problem there.
As to how to play a game in an interpreter, it's just like opening any file
in a program, like when you open a text document in word or free office or
whatever, or when you open an mp3 in
Hi Ishan,
Your question about the sighted person is slightly confusing. Not sure
what you mean by a sighted person feeling easy with the genre.
As far as playing interactive fiction games it is very easy. Let's
assume here for example you are playing one of the games written in
