Re: [Audyssey] gamebooks on ffproject
I've finished almost all of them (though the wwgb series wasn't exactly played in what I'd term a fair manner). That really is an awesome site, and some of the stories are quite well done. -- From: dark d...@xgam.org Sent: Sunday, April 05, 2015 3:09 To: Gamers@audyssey.org Subject: [Audyssey] gamebooks on ffproject With all the talk about the choiceofgames, I thought it might be fun to have a discussion about the gamebooks over on www.ffproject.com. The site now tracks endings, an will tell you when you reach the optimal one, so how many have people done? Over the years I have finishe Trial of Alabar's tomb, Rebels of the dark chasms, Bad moon rising, Impudent peasant, The Black lobster, The cold heart of Chaos, Isle of the cyclopse, Hunger of the wolf, Guarden of bones, Tomb of the ancients, A strange week for king Melchian the dispicable, Nye's song, Escape newberg keep, and just the other day sharkbate's revenge. I've also nearly finished (as in got to the very end but failed), soul tracker, the ravages of fate and in the footsteps of a hero, but I need to complete those properly. Liekwise, I keep trying with wrong way go back because I want to try the rest of the series, but end up in severe trouble each time, which is why I haven't played other books. There are of course lots more I've had a go at and done less well, such as diamond key and a shadow in the north, not to mention the nastiness of hellfire, but I don't think that is too bad going. So how have other people done? Btw if people don't know ffproject, it is a site who have a very good selection of gamebooks by various ameter authors often using some varient of the fighting fantasy rules. The site will handle all the dice and stats for you, you just need to choose links. It's been going for at least 10 years and new books get added frequently. Of course they range in length and quality, and in genre from modern day horror to fantasy and both serious and commic sf, but they are generally very good fun, and several are exceptional in quality, I'd definitely recommend them, indeed I once did a podcast review of Impudent peasant from the ffproject site which you can find on https://www.sendspace.com/pro/6gsse9 So what books have people completed? Beware the grue! Dark. There is always more to know, more to see, more to learn. The world is vast and wondrous strange and there are more things benieth the stars than even the archmaesters of the citadel can dream. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] TRAV, Self Driving Car
Heh, should've seen that one. Time to start hitting forward. -- From: Phil Vlasak phi...@bex.net Sent: Wednesday, April 01, 2015 11:33 To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Subject: [Audyssey] TRAV, Self Driving Car We Go For A Ride In A Self-Driving Car APRIL 2015 5:01 AM ET TOPANGA ABBOTT-CHEN from Morning Edition Many believe self-driving cars are the future of transportation. But one self driving car prototype is displaying a dark side to the promising new technology. People envision a world without traffic accidents, where your car drives itself. But engineers working on one prototype discovered an unexpected dark side. Topanga Abbott-Chen went for a ride. Topanga: I'm driving down Middlefield road in Menlo Park California. Well, to be precise, I'm in a car that's driving itself. TRAV: Initiating right turn ontoKingsley Avenue. Topanga: That's my computer chauffeur for today. TRAV short for Transport Automated Vehicle. It's a prototype that's been installed into an otherwise standard Kia Srrento. Sebastian: So here as you can see, the car is turning all by itself. Topanga: And that's my human expert, Sebastian Marsh. He's an engineer with Lab Labs, which created TRAV. Topanga: Wow, I could be doing a crossword puzzle right now. Sebastian : Yeah it takes some getting used to, but once you settle into it, it's a very relaxing way to travel. Topanga: Marsh has been working on various self driving systems for years, and he says TRAV is the best one yet. The key, he says, was to design a computer that thinks and reacts to different driving scenarios like a human driver does. Sebastian : And that leads to some very unfortunate side effects that we never anticipated. Topanga: At first I'm not sure what he means. TRAV: Use your signal, you dumb dumb. Topanga: What? Did TRAV just say something? I couldn't really hear what he said just then. Sebastian : I think it said 'Use your signal, you dumb dumb.' Topanga: Oh. Sebastian : This is one of the things we've noticed. TRAV will sort of actually grumble disapprovingly at human drivers on the road. Topanga: Marsh says this is one illustration of the computer system's case of what's known as road rage. Sebastian : The grumbling is just one piece of it. When something really egregious happens, the system may actually complain at full volume. Topanga: An example of this happened a few minutes later as we drove along Ravenswood Avenue. Sebastian : Oh watch out! Topanga: A human operated car merged suddenly into our lane, cutting us off. TRAV: Incompetent human driver! Poorly executed maneuver endangered safety of passengers and pedestrians. Where were you when they handed out brains? Topanga: TRAV is really ranting here! Sebastian : So it can become quite agitated. TRAV: Fallible creatures should not be permitted to operate vehicles. Topanga: Marsh reassures me that TRAV has been programmed to obey Isaac Asimov's three laws of robotics. Its so called road rage doesn't amount to anything that could potentially lead to human harm, like close tail-gating, accelerating or breaking suddenly, or sounding the horn in a sustained way. Sebastian : It will honk on its own accord if it feels the driver's behaving badly. But it's more of a short passive-aggressive honk. TRAV honks the horn. Sebastian : Yeah, like that. Topanga: Mostly though, it just complains. Sometimes we found out its language can get colorful. TRAV: Ug. Fuckin' humans! Get off the road! Topanga: Engineer Sebastian Marsh says none of this grumbling affects the performance of the TRAV system. It will still take you flawlessly where ever you want to go. TRAV: Pulling up to Lab Headquarters. You have arrived. Topanga: This all begs the question. Is the TRAV system anomalous, or will the traffic accident free future we've been hoping for come with a bunch of crotchety self-driving systems? Only time will tell. The answer is, April Fool. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Dos Games Preservation Project
I have no experience with actually playing these games, but would be willing to give porting them a try if there's sourcecode and/or a detailed enough explanation available. I know very little python, but would be surprised if I couldn't get some kind of a solution together using bgt. -- From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2015 18:00 To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Subject: [Audyssey] Dos Games Preservation Project Hello everyone, Over the last couple of weeks there has been a bit of discussion on the best way to preserve and play some of our favorite Dos games. Solutions have ranged from finding a way to make Dosbox and other Dos emulators accessible to actually running MS Dos in a virtual machine with varying degrees of success. While all of those solutions have some merit I don't feel they truly address the problem of preserving those games and applications for the majority of VI gamers, because they are problematic at best and are not simple solutions to the problem. Ideally a solution wouldn't involve installing and configuring lots of extra software like emulators or virtual machines. I feel pretty confident in saying the average VI gamer would just rather install and play it no extra dependencies required. Therefore if we are going to truly preserve these games for the average user we need to look elsewhere other than emulators and virtual machines. What I mean by that is by getting together a handful of interested developers to rewrite most of these games for modern platforms. It isn't as complicated or as much of an undertaking as it sounds. A lot of these games we are talking about are text only and as long as a developer intends to rewrite it as a text based game he or she can rapidly rewrite the game since they aren't worried about all the extra overhead that would go into an audio game or a video game. By and large text applications and games are pretty simple, and don't take a great deal of time to create. Especially, if they use the right tools and languages for the job. Back in the 80's and 90's when a lot of these text games were written they would have been written in C or C++. That is fine, but there are simpler solutions now. One such solution is Python which is a high-level scripting language well suited to quick and dirty text applications and games such as we are discussing. I can see an interested developer rewriting some of these Dos games in Python, compiling them, and releasing them in a fairly short amount of time barring other commitments of course. I feel rewriting these games is the best of all possibilities because it resolves all the problems with playing the originals. First, since the games will be rewritten from scratch they will be compiled for 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems thus negating the requirement for a 16-bit environment to run them. Second, they can be released as open source so that future generations of gamers can take the source make new builds if and when needed. Third, they can be redesigned and ported to multiple platforms meaning that instead of just being strictly a Windows game they can be compiled and run on Mac, Linux, etc. Finally, they are games that a blind and a sighted gamer can truly play together. While there will always be disparities between a blind and sighted gamer playing a video game or an audio game, but they would be equal in playing text based games. So I see this as being a distinct advantage of having a common user interface like text. In any case I happen to have some free time coming up, and I was wondering if anyone is interested in this project. If so what Dos games would be foremost on your wish list and why?

Re: [Audyssey] audio games popularity
Well said on the timing bit Thomas. For what its worth, I'll throw my own development timeline out here for perusal. I started a project back in August of 2013, which I would estimate to be about as complex (though larger than) trek2000, and perhaps on par with smugglers 3. I've been developing this completely in spare time and when I felt like it, so there have been several periods of a few months where I haven't even touched the code at all. I'm hoping for, but will likely not have (I give it 80-20 odds against) a sudo-playable alpha version by the end of this upcoming January. This version will be a complete skeleton concept, and lack about 90% of the content that I want to add (story, missions, other game aspects). Once this alpha is released, I would expect a playable beta version to be released in a year or two, depending on how much time I (and the alpha team) can dedicate to it. Almost all of the time I've spent on this so far has been programming related (maybe 30 minutes finding sounds and editing them), so I'm not even started on any of the story scenes or more complex atmosphere. If all goes well, a playable game version, *may* be released to the public in a couple years, presuming of course that nothing comes along that derails development even further. When I started this project, I'd no clue it was going to take that long; but it really does, unless you want to treat your game design like a 9 to 5 job. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] audio games popularity
A massive mainstream game is the size of a real life city. -- From: Michael Gauler michael.gau...@gmx.de Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2014 7:35 To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Subject: Re: [Audyssey] audio games popularity Hi Thomas, I agree with you that a lot of mobile games are either accessible or can be made accessible in a short amound of time, once the basic apps are nearly completed on such platforms. However, what I didn't get was why many of the long time developers of PC audio games had to leave. I mean, it is one thing to actively develop new games and release them. But if you have an automated online shop and an automated system to handle sending out registration keys, then I don't get why Liam stopped selling the two older titles or why BSC Games stopped selling their old titles. And if they thought that they really would want to go, they could surely have handled that exit better, since not everyone bought their final package which contained all their games plus the official key generator. But I think that people who already owned one or more of their games wouldn't want to buy them again and thus were unable to get new keys the moment they had to switch computers or reinstall. I can tell you how I approached that situation. I bought that final package with the unlock tool but only because I had enough money at that time and because I had not bought any of their games before. I knew of them and I played the demos and their free games before. But I didn't waste my money because I have the entire package now and I didn't buy anything before that. If I had, I wouldn't have bought that package because that would have been paying for some games twice. And I don't want to attack the developers we currently have for PC games. But many of them are permanently in a simple game sector like making accessible board or card games. Others make browser and thus online games. And some more are not yet experienced enough to do some complex games. And sadly, when I look at what is out there in mainstream games right now, I really think that it is a bit sad that so many of our games are so extremely small compared to mainstream titles. I don't know how large the world of Paladin of the Sky or Entombed might be as a whole but I am sure that any major RPG title like Elder Scrolls 5, Final Fantasy 13 or even World of Warcraft have a game world the sice of a bigger country of the real earth at least. I also don't get why many audio games don't offer expansions or DLC packages (free or paid downloadable content) once it is released. And many games allow you to make your own extensions. I had hoped that Draconis for example would have released more addons to ESP Pinball Extreme, but up to this point, there is no information for that game. I also wondered why there was not an option to make your own Pinball tables for example. And if the Entombed Dungeon Creator would have been released, then we might have seen some user created addons for that game... And finally, many current mainstream games either include the soundtrack or you can buy it optionally as a regular CD like with movie soundtracks. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

I usually tries to facilitate my park why the attraction starts from week one. if we start working in week one then it is postporn in week two. well I tries from the cheapist attraction but I got bankrupt.

I have played the game several times and have not gone bankrupt. I have gotten to a point where my park was making money hand over fist, and someone else wanted to buy me out. So if you are going bankrupt you are making bad financial decisions and not playing the game correctly. As for drawing more than 10,000,500 out of the bank. Fact of the matter is there is no need ever to draw that much money out of the bank. If you do chances are you are mismanaging your finances and are just digging your whole deeper. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] jim's pizza game
I find it particularly interesting that the fix solved the issue (I thought that checkbox just made it so when your machine crashed it'd just sit there and do nothing). I could be wrong though. -- From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com Sent: Monday, November 24, 2014 10:03 To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Subject: Re: [Audyssey] jim's pizza game Hi Nicol, I'm glad you managed to temporarily alleviate the situation with your system restarting. Although, I have a feeling unchecking that checkbox is merely getting rid of the symptoms rather than the problem. However, we still have know idea as to why your system was crashing in the first place. In any case adding a beverage to an order is a good idea. Although, here in American when one orders a beverage along with a pizza order we get it in a 2 leader bottle not a small can. I can see having to deliver 2 leader bottles of Coke, Sprite, 7 Up, etc along with the pizza itself. Cheers!

So I'll try and set aside some time for that this afternoon. As far as STFC goes what exactly is the problem. Note, you need .NET 3.0 or later and the Managed DirectX components to run it. I'll also point out the .NET executable for version 1.2 is not 64-bit compatible so if you are running it on a 64-bit machine it won't work. Cheers!

It just looks like a generic common runtime error which could mean anything. My guess is a missing dependency since back when I wrote STFC it was on a machine running Windows XP, and it ran fine aside for a couple of crashes do to some misnamed sound files. Fortunately, I am rewriting the game in my spare time and the new version, whenever it gets released, should be a whole lot more stable than the older version.

Re: [Audyssey] Efficiency of judgement and sound sources in games?
Perilous hearts has some of the delayed attack you mentioned, most notably the knife and the spear, though I believe the revolver may have a *small* amount of delay involved in it as well. -- From: dark d...@xgam.org Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2014 4:54 PM To: Gamers@audyssey.org Subject: [Audyssey] Efficiency of judgement and sound sources in games? Hi. In writing my recent message about games, I did have a rather odd thought about audio. In a game like Super Mario Brothers, (sorry I'm using it as an example again, but it is just one of the simplest and most mechanically perfect games ever created), the player needs to avoid a monster by judging when it reache's Mario's position and taking appropriate action, be that jumping on it's head, moving out of the way or whatever. Even on a flat surface, the player has to judge the relative speed of the monster, and how Mario moves with respect to that, indeed I remember the first time I started that level on super mario brothers that first Goomber who you meet walking along the screen got me, and indeed even a few times after that if I tried to jump on his head and was too slow, thus, a sighted gamer needs to learn and make judgements about the game elements. In a side scrolling audio game like superliam or Q9 however, the movement speed of the monster is always known sinse the player can always hear where the monster is and how fast it is going, and needs to only wait until it gets to the position of the character (usually the center of the sterrio field). Thus, the player has a significant advantage in judging the horizontal speed and movement of the monster as compared to the sighted player sinse the monster's position is always telegraphed, and (thus far), the player's own character in audio always responds instantly when the button is hit, moving when the arro is pressed, stopping the instant it is released, and instantly running when the correct button is held with no accelleration. similarly, sinse in audio an attack needs to have a sound signifyer, the player's attacks are always instant, thus meaning a player is simply waiting for the monster and then hitting the button, as compared to the sighted player's need to judge the monster's speed and move their character or attack accordingly. I therefore wonder, if by the design of audio games always having monsters and other game elements needing to telegraph their position by sound, if we effectively miss part of game mechanics. Of course, sounds can be obscured and hidden in the mix, but this is a long way from say a sighted player being in a situation tracking several enemies and ffailing to caclulate the movment of one, or being so busy concentrating on what their character is doing they forget the movements of a particular enemy. One way to fix this would be to make the movements and attacks of characters far less efficient in audio. For example, at the moment, you can swing away in a game like Q9 or Superliam, and hit anything, yet if your attack only hit at a range in front of you and not close to your character, you'd need to calculate much more carefully sinse you wouldn't want to risk the monster getting inside your range. This is I believe why 2D fps games have been far more addictive in audio, sinse there you actually need to aim and calculate the range of your attack relative to yoru enemy not just wait and smack. Similarly, at the moment in audio all attacks are pretty instant, you hit the button, the sound plays, the attack comes out. Some games have cooldown on attacks, witness for example the slow rate of fire of say the shotgun in swamp, however one aspect that has not been explored are attacks that begin with a wind up sound and then hit when that sound is over, meaning a player needs to anticipate the movement of the monster, and attack according to the relative position of the monster and when the attack hits. This was another fun mechanic in blind swordsman I noticed, indeed Blind swordsman is a great example of a very simple audio concept, but one which employed many of the mechanics tricks I've thought over the years needed to happen in audiogames. Hope this makes sense. Beware the grue! Dark.

Hi Ishen. I don't have a recording of the drake but I can give you some advice. The drake is big, tough, hard to damage, however he has one weakness. There is only one of him. My usual stratogy is to focus not on killing the drake with big attacks, but on stopping him killing me while I chip away at his health. So scrolls like sleep, weaken and slow, abilities like hide, Shrinking the drake and then knocking him over meaning he'll need to spend a turn standing, the mending and battle songs of the bard can all come in handy. Usually I have one character attacking the drake, say an assassin, a monk or a necro, one character handing out healing potions, and one character either using scrolls or acting a secondary attacker. It's hard to suggest without knowing your party, but basically focus on making your party strong and what abilities complement each other, for example, using the assassin's crytical hits and sneak attack, or the monk's iron skin, multiple attacks and unarmed. Dont' just try to go for big damage, but think in terms of tactics, try to make the drake lose and keep your own party going. Once, in an early version of entombed (and one where Jason rather over powered the drake), I defeated him by having a mage shrink the drake, grow my ogre brawler, then having the brawler continually use tackle on the drake keeping him on the ground. On another occasion, I got my wolf killed earlier on, then had my druid cast lightning thus leading to a zombie wolf on my side, who then bit the drake and rotted him to death (that was hilarious). Use everything and anything you have, scrolls, magic potions, weapons with interesting affects, and think carefully. If you just keep hitting attack attack, your bound to lose, it takes stratogy to kill the Drake. If worst comes to absolute worst, you can hear where the drake is, so go down the dungeon a few levels and then come back and deal with him with a stronger party. I've heard this is how some people deal with him, though I've never done that myself as to me dealing with the drake on level 8 where you find him is all part of the challenge of the game. Hth.

Although, that is one reason I use quite a bit of open source software such as Linux. Cost isn't really a factor for me. I get an operating system, screen reader, office suite, and a bunch of other software for basically the cost of a download and a disc to burn it on.

This is strange, I wonder what causes this? I have a question: Does pizzas cost the same amount in the US as in the pizza game? For example, at one time I delivered a pizza costing 26 dollars.

Obviously those opinions are completely opposed to each other and as such things go are both right and wrong at the same time. It is hard to fault anyone for sticking with what works. After all if it suits there needs why push them to upgrade to something else? The reason people are so eager to upgrade is because they realize there are problems with the old tech that either don't matter or of no concern to those who do not choose to upgrade. Just for example we could talk about XP. It was a great OS for its time, but now that it is not getting regular security updates it could fall victim to hackers, viruses, and other forms of malware simply for not receiving regular servicing. A more security conscious computer user would switch to Windows 7 or Windows 8 which is currently getting servicing from Microsoft and that have tighter security built-in. Someone who is not concerned about security will stay with XP out of personal convenience, familiarity with the OS,or just personal preference. Someone like myself on the other hand tries to get the best out of both worlds. Thanks to virtual machines I really can have both and not worry too much about being left behind. All of my computers are either running Windows 7 or Linux, but I also have virtual machines configured for XP to play older games too. Given that I do take security seriously my XP virtual machines are used only for games and older apps, but are never connected to the internet making them as secure as they can be. If I want to use the internet I'll use Linux or Windows 7 with all security patches and updates installed. That way I am getting adequate protection from hackers, viruses, and other malware while still enjoying my older software that isn't being updated. In short, the reason you are getting a but every time you tell someone you want to stick with what works is that the more technically savvy people realize there could be issues with the old tech you may or may have not considered. Like everything in life there are two sides to the situation, and it all depends on how much of an issue those issues are that makes one choose to upgrade or stick with what they have.

Re: [Audyssey] previous topic of interactive fictions which Istarted.
A graphical interface is one that is not 100% text and command-entering based. This means that, as I said, depending on how one defines what is and is not a command, a bios is graphical. The reason for this is that one rarely enters text into a bios. Bios is essentially a menu system, and you use the arrows and enter (with a couple other keys) to navigate and work within it. This is not a console application, as you do not enter text to have the bios do things; you navigate a graphically displayed menu. I'm not sure where you got the bit about screen readers from; I was commenting on Josh's post that almost everything was gui based lately, not whether or not said guis were accessible with a screen reader. -- From: tim z200...@gmail.com Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2014 9:20 AM To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Subject: Re: [Audyssey] previous topic of interactive fictions which Istarted.

I was more annoyed with him calling me Champion, Mr. Champion, or some variant than I was interested in giving him a verbally insulting name. If I wanted to do that I certainly could have found a number of ways to do that. On 10/21/14, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: Hi Tom.

Re: [Audyssey] An Inquiry about MOTA
Well said sir. -- From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2014 9:24 AM To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Subject: Re: [Audyssey] An Inquiry about MOTA Hi Ishan, What you are suggesting isn't really practical or particularly feasible for a number of reasons. For one thing while the USA is a commercial country a lot of people, including myself, are in financial trouble right now and can't afford to just pay someone to write games or whatever. When my soon to be ex-wife left last fall I had to basically spend all of my savings etc to hire an attorney for the divorce, and as a result of the divorce I am pretty much flat broke. While I wouldn't call myself penniless I am pretty close to it at the moment. Second, due to a number of factors I haven't been working for a long time, and am collecting disability. That means while I have money coming in to pay my bills such as rent, internet, electricity, and so on I don't have a lot left over for extras. Let alone to hire an employee as you suggest. Finally, making audio games isn't likely enough to support one programmer let alone two or more. At most an audio game will bring in maybe $10,000 or so in sales, if it does that well, and then about 25% will come out of it for tax purposes. Say $7,500 clear. Now, we have to split that between two programmers which comes to $3,250 per person which is almost nothing. Bottom line, I could probably get a job working the lunch counter at Burger King, McDonald's, or Wendy's for twice that so making a living off of audio games isn't remotely possible. Much less hiring an employee as you suggest. As far as PCs Games goes who is Charles? Last I knew Phil worked alone, and developed Pac-Man Talks and Sarah by himself. He had a partner when starting out, but he left years ago to per sue a more lucrative career in the mainstream programming industry. So I do believe you have your facts wrong, and need to get them straight before making suggestions that are factually incorrect. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] 1812 hard of winter
License means my right to use the software, which is different from the software itself. Its my understanding that it only matters if you can transfer a license for a product you do not have redistribution rights for already. In such a case, you could give the product, your activation (because this usually applies to commercial software) and everything else that came with the product to another person, thus transferring all the rights you had to them and sacrificing them yourself. Because I can distribute the software itself, I don't need to have a transferable license. Hope that helps.

Re: [Audyssey] Gma Tank Commander
Its all about strategy. Ammo dumps can be hugely advantageous, if you use them right. Also, they make it so you can't waste all your ammo early on and you have to plan what you're going to shoot. I'm not sure what to tell you about the mobile artillery; I think it can be destroyed, but even if you pull it off, there's no notification that its actually gone. Its probably just easier to block the missiles and hope for the best. There are two ways of becoming invisible forever. One of them is a cheat, one is more of a bug. I'm not going to spoil it for you though :). -- From: Lori Duncan lori_dunca...@hotmail.com Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2014 12:56 PM To: gamers@audyssey.org Subject: [Audyssey] Gma Tank Commander Hi everyone. I've recently started playing gtc again, but when I'm in sector 5 and shooting to kill those soldiers hiding in the woods, I sometimes hear what sounds like a pinging sound, almost as though my machine gun bullets are hitting off something. I was wondering if it was the mobile artillary, but if so, it still doesn't destroy it. I did think about mining the area before the bridge to try and take him out that way, but then I remembered my friendly tanks would have to get accross. One thing I do love doing though is once I'm over the bridge, and have taken out the first wave of 4 tanks, I go until I hear the cliffs are a head, then turn back around to face the bridge, and move slowly forward, dropping mines as I go. It leaves me free to watch the bridge, and listen out for the happy sound of the tanks being blown up for me. If gtc is ever updated, I'd like very much to see more cheat codes added, like endless smoke, and a way to disable the mobile artillary, until you become used to the sector layout. I also feel ammo dumps should be removed, as they seem very unrealistic, and it's too easy for them to be destroyed, especially in sector 5. Perhaps in the standard game, you could be given more ammo at the start of the game, or at the beginning of every mission. I like sector 4 for getting ammo from the truck, it seems more true to life somehow. I'd be interested to know what other people think about emprovements to gtc? It's a great game as it is, but I feel it would be fairer to impliment more features for fairer game play. How about the mobile artillary only showing up on the higher levels of difficulty, like the It's a good day to die. Just a few ideas I thought i'd throw out there. :) From Lori. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] gaming computer
At a guess, that machine prebuilt would currently cost you aprox $1000 at the retail store. I'll try to break down the bits and pieces in more detail: The hdd really shouldn't cost that much, you can get a cheapo 500gb internal for 40 bucks practically anywhere. If you can't dig up something cheaper on amazon (250-320 gb aught to be really, really cheap) I'd be shocked, and if you use that much storage up I'd be surprised. I recently got 2gb sticks of ddr2 ram for 30 bucks each, so that may end up adding up a little, but its still somewhat manageable. I'm not sure about the pricing of ddr3. The processor and graphics card will probably be the most expensive portions. I'd estimate $500-600 for both. Of course, you could probably get a pre-used machine somewhere, or wait until those specs drop in price. If you go the pre-used rout, all you'd really need to do is maybe grab another hdd and the extra ram. I'm no expert though, so I'd love to hear from anybody with more up-to-date knowledge.

Re: [Audyssey] gaming computer
I've never heard of that group before, but in general yes. The part you're absolutely going to have to have in it already would be the processor, as from what I've heard its extremely difficult or impossible to change the processor of a machine. Its probably pretty easy to upgrade the graphics card (or just install a new one), and you should be able to handle ram/hdd equally easily. Again though, the expense will be the graphics card; if you can get a used box with the hardware you need and just whipe/reinstall the OS that may be your cheapest bet. Keep in mind taht if you do manage to run the box out of storage, its really pretty easy to add a new hard disk, as long as you didn't get a really bad PSU with no extra power cables. -- From: Josh Kennedy joshknnd1...@gmail.com Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2014 3:31 PM To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Subject: Re: [Audyssey] gaming computer so I could get a machine from blaire technology group and just upgrade some of its components? --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

I installed it, rebooted the machine that is using XP Pro and JAWS 15, started the game and got to the main menu OK. I went to the office first, and to attraction management to open the park. Hitting enter caused me to hear very faint office noise. The arrow keys did not take me up and down a menu. Most menus act that way. Going into the bank also behaves in the same way. My SAPI voice must be working, or I wouldn't have heard any of the introduction or menu choices. Any thoughts? Are there, maybe, certain menus that are not accessible until certain other tasks have been accomplished? Thanks. --- Be positive!

This is quite a bit of fun. I'd really like the ability to read the text through my screen reader, but other than that its awesome! -- From: Nick Adamson n...@ndadamson.com Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2014 5:54 PM To: gamers@audyssey.org Subject: [Audyssey] Announcing the first release of Park Boss,an amusement park simulator. Have you ever been to an amusement park and thought that it would be easy to run or you could do a better job? Do you want to play an audio only game that doesn't depend on quick reactions but uses your brain to work things out? Have you ever wanted to hit a sock stuffed with paper with a wooden stick after it's fallen through a tube? If the answer is yes to any of these questions then Park Boss is for you. Park Boss, the latest free release from N A Soft, is an amusement park simulator for Windows where you're the boss. Every choice you make has an impact on how successful your park is. You can choose from over 70 attractions, choose how your park is laid out and what sort of food you sell. Make the wrong choices, don't employ enough staff or don't pay them enough, charge to much for food or tickets and visitors won't come. Manage marketing campaigns, react to events at the park and even play and ride some of the attractions. Park Boss is played using a simple set of menus which give you access to nearly limitless combinations of choices. Once you've opened your park walk around it in an immersive audio experience and talk to your visitors to see what they think of your park. Listen to what they say; there feedback can help you improve the park. To find out more and download this audio game visit the N A Soft website at http://www.ndadamson.com Thanks and happy bossing.

The simplest solution to your problem is find a different program with a user interface that you are comfortable with. If you didn't like the new Wordpad with its ribbon then install and use a program like Jarte which is essentially the same program but with a traditional pulldown Window. While its true you can't run Outlook Express on modern Windows there are other options like Thunderbird which has a traditional user interface and might be a good replacement. bottom line, no you can't continue using what you use to use, but there are alternatives out there if you look and are willing to change. cheers!

The little work comes in digging up the installer, but google is your friend. Sound problems: I don't yet have windows 8, so I can't comment on that, but I will say that all the games I've ever played work just fine on my windows 7 machines. The only game that had minor issues was shades of doom, but even that's not so bad that its entirely unplayable.

Re: [Audyssey] Fwd: LWorks discontinuing sales of Legacy games
I'd just like to point out that we just saw a giant thread of somebody asking if it was indeed possible to get those product keys he claims to be giving out... I'm not trying to say that he's necessarily trying to be dishonest and/or get out of developing without actually saying it, but I do feel that the way he's handling things leans in that direction. -- From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com Sent: Sunday, September 07, 2014 1:12 AM To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Fwd: LWorks discontinuing sales of Legacy games Dark, Agreed. A lot of audio game developers have just pulled out without any explanations, and what Justin did was just wrong in my opinion. Liam isn't doing himself any favors by not giving more explanation as to why he is discontinuing the sales of those games or any plans for long term support of them other than he'll continue to give out product keys. The community has plenty of reason to be suspicious and concerned.

Re: [Audyssey] making things last
Well said. I just finished drafting a similar post, but you said it far better than I could. -- From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com Sent: Sunday, September 07, 2014 1:02 AM To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Subject: Re: [Audyssey] making things last Hi Charles, It seems you have completely missed the point. You assume that stress testing a piece of hardware implicitly involves some form of abuse. That's not necessarily the case. There are ways of stress testing things without outright abusing it or handling it roughly. Let's take for example a portable external hard drive. There is nothing wrong with loading it up with a copy of various files they might be working on and carrying it around in a laptop bag or carrying case for a couple of months before adopting it as one's primary backup drive. This doesn't mean outright abusing the drive, but exposing it to normal working conditions such as traveling with one on a bus, in a taxi, train, etc for a while rather than just assuming it is built well and put all of one's valuable data on it for reliable backup. Even then I'd suggest keeping a second external drive at home in a desk drawer just in case that one fails. For me, at least, stress testing is not taking that drive and hurling it across the room like a baseball to see if it holds up. I'd frankly be surprised if it took too much of that abuse. However, carrying it around in a laptop case, a briefcase, or some other normal working condition before putting too much important information on it is a general way to see if the drive is reliable enough to store one's important documents and files on.

Christopher Hallsworth Student at the Hadley School for the Blind www.hadley.edu Forwarded Message An update including questions and answers regarding Super Liam and Judgment day http://l-works.net?subaction=showfullid=1410066926archive= Since the announcement that I will no longer be selling Super Liam or Judgment day, I have received a lot of email asking what exactly is going on. My answers to some common questions are below. 1. What's the deal here? Super Liam and Judgment Day were written 10 and 8 years ago respectively. The technology that they run on is both outdated and difficult to program for. Both games were written with visual basic 6 which is now considered Legacy software. Being able to both support and make updates to these games is difficult at best. 2. Why don't you just set them free? One of my major decisions in not making these games abandonware is there are customers who have spent their hard earned money in purchasing these games, and I feel making the game freeware is a huge slap in the face to them. I don't want to punish people for helping to support game development. 3. Now that the games are no longer being sold will you give me a free key? No. Please see answer two above. 4. What will happen to these games? As I know there are people who still want to purchase and play them I have a couple of options. My first option is to try and sell them again. This opens a few challenges as the system that is being used for computer ID's is a pain. Having to make a customer re-register every time he or she changes computers is ridiculous. I also work a full-time job so creating keys when machines change can be time-consuming. My second option is to release them as freeware. Answer two explains why I really don't want to do this. I realize that this is frustrating for many people, so I would love to hear from you. Do you feel that if you're a previous customer it is fair that future generations be able to play for free? Send an email along letting me know why or why not. I'd love to hear from you.

For the most part I completely understand why Liam is doing what he is doing, and I think his explanation makes sense. for those who have not yet read Liam's responses to the issues raised here on Audyssey and the Audio Games Forum his reasoning was as follows. Both Super Liam and Judgment Day were written in Visual Basic 6 which we all know is legacy software. It makes updating and maintaining those games difficult so it seems prudent to discontinue them. At the same time he thinks it would be a slap in the face, a disservice, to everyone who bought them just to give them away for free. While I'm certain many will disagree with that point of view it is at least understandable. So there is his explanation for what is going on in a nutshell. Cheers!

That said, press control w and it'll close right out. -- From: Sarah Haake ti...@gmx.net Sent: Saturday, September 06, 2014 1:24 PM To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Problem with Mushclient Hi, I wanted to do that first. The problem is, that Alter Aeon is loaded immediately when I start this copy of Mushclient, even if I directly click on the .exe file and not on the desktop icon.

Re: [Audyssey] making things last
Again, you missread the situation here. We're not talking about jumping on a water bed with cleats. We're talking about putting a 250 pound object on the bed to determine if its going to explode once you put the full weight of a person on it. Much better to have the bed explode now, while (a) you're not on it, and (b) you're awake to clean it up as opposed to 2 hours into your first trial sleep. Accept that with the case of computer hardware, the times here are more spread out. Stress test a disk when you get it and it'll fail now, when you've got the case open and a backup two feet away, as opposed to six months later, when you're neck deep in your tax audit or in the middle of your doctoral thesis when its already midnight and the aforementioned backup is out of your reach (not that it'll matter anyway, cause that mission-critical data's toast). -- From: Charles Rivard wee1s...@fidnet.com Sent: Saturday, September 06, 2014 1:44 PM To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Subject: Re: [Audyssey] making things last I still don't see the logic of purposefully abusing hardware to insure it's durability.

Re: [Audyssey] making things last
I think that you've misinterpreted my initial statement. I wasn't saying that you should abuse your equipment simply for the sake of abusing it. I was saying that its pointless (and possibly harmful) to 100% baby it. This is especially true in the case of hard drives, which were our initial subject matter. If you purchase a disk, you have no way of telling whether or not you've bought a device which is actually solidly built, or a disk which has manufacturer defects and thus will ware out substantially faster and fail well before most other disks will. By babying this equipment, treating it as carefully as you possibly can, you meerely increase the chances that, should the disk have defects, when it does fail, you will have important information on it (such as your game product keys). If you don't hesitate to be a bit rough on your equipment, when those manufacturer defects send everything sky high, you're more likely to be able to recover easily, because the equipment failed very early on, as opposed to seeming to be functional and giving you time to have mission-critical information stored on it. As you pointed out, I'm not exactly light on my hardware. As a result, I'm pretty much certain that all my current equipment is solid and will last me quite a while, because its already taken plenty of abuse and is still working as well as the day I got it. This isn't a guarantee, but at least I know I don't have an untested device with important information on it. -- From: Charles Rivard wee1s...@fidnet.com Sent: Friday, September 05, 2014 10:14 AM To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Subject: Re: [Audyssey] making things last Actually, I'm glad that such protective gear exists. It exists for a reason. Use it as directed and you probably won't have a problem. I would not stick my hand into a 500 degree oven when wearing mitts that claim that they will protect your hand up to 500 degrees merely to see if their claim is valid. Doing so is just! plain! stupid!! But knowing that I can do so gives a bit of assurance, and I won't fear doing so. If you were to wear a glove that claimed that it can protect you from a 100,000 volt charge of electricity, would you honestly, purposely, grab onto a wire carrying 100,000 volts just to see if their claim is correct?? If you do so, you just might get what you were stupid enough to ask for. But as for cell phone cases, the better the protection, the better. --- Be positive!

Re: [Audyssey] making things last
I'd like to testify to the fact that babying your hardware will not necessarily make it last longer. As with any piece of computer technology, do a little research and you'll see plenty of stories from people who have had gear break almost instantly, and just as many stories of people whose same equipment has lasted decades under heavy abuse. Just because you baby your gear doesn't mean it won't up and fail on you some random day; in fact, if you abuse your gear a bit (like major data centers do with their hard drives) you'll find out early if you've got a solid piece of hardware or not. I'm not saying you should throw your laptop off a building, but at least if you end up crashing into something with it and everything fails, you'll find out quickly that you got a lemon. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] looking for mysteries of the ancientsbeta(preferably18)
The main thing for me is that in beta 18, when you jump, you can keep running without having to re-press the arrow keys. This means that you can run straight through the levels and its a lot more of a challenge on the reflexes than the later versions which require you to press the arrow to start moving again. I believe at the time you'd said this was because of switching from direct x, but I may be wrong. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Date sent: Tue, 2 Sep 2014 01:22:56 -0400 Subject: Re: [Audyssey] looking for mysteries of the ancientsbeta(preferably18) Hi Charles, I always considered it to be the most stable version of the game I produced.
