Hi Thomas,
I also have and used a wav file player named sox. They must have also made a
dos version. But all that we did was use the Basic shell command to shell out
and play the wav file. It worked and was great to be able to add wav files to
our games, but as you can imagine shelling out
I really can't remember precisely when I stumbled across whitestick but that
really was where my audio gaming jerney began. It was either late 2003 or in

bought I think. For the most part I've been playing mainstream games

Hi Jim,
I wouldn't be a bit suprised. Dos and Linux shared many of the same
commandline applications back in those days. It was much easier to
create cross-platform applications like lynx, sox, pine, ncftp, etc
than it is today. Today programming is more complicated because

Hi Dark,
Well, my black jack, draw poker, slot machine and star mule games started out
as video / text games in the eighties. They were then converted to blind
accessible games in the nineties. As a matter of fact my black jack game made

Hi,
In deed I do. I had a number of games for the BNS. I know for sure I
had Solitaire, Simon, Mine Buster, Hangman, etc stored on my flash
rom. After I took C in college I looked at the BNS C compiler, but
they wanted to much money for the compiler so I never purchased it.
Good thing I didn't
Hi Jim, cool! though I'm not the least surprised.

Hi Shaun,
I don't know if you have anything like it in New Zeland but here in
the U.S. there is a place called Batteries Plus. What they basically
do is take devices and replace the rechargible batteries in them for

however I don't have space to have that synth on my desk at all nore a old
style physicle system to run it on and since mastertouch and keysoft only run
right on 386 systems its unlikely I could even run it all anyway.
I'm not mangling my main box if I have to fiddle with dosbox to much.
Hi Josh,
Actually, we were talking about the hardware version, the SA, but it
is interesting you are still working with the Keynote Multimedia
software. I have a licensed version around here somewhere, but haven't
used it for a good 10 years or so since it isn't really supported on
newer Windows
Hello everyone,
isn't this key note gold thing off topic for the list? I'm not the
moderator, but this topic should be related to how we got in to audio games.

Do you love audio games? Would you
Hi Muhammed,
You are write. The Keynote topic is a bit off topic in this case.
The part about using Keynote SA for dos games was on topic, but the
rest of it is getting off topic. Let's close that part of the
discussion down.
Thanks.

Very interesting story. The first game I ever wrote was a Blackjack

Well, as many of you know I was sighted for many years. the very first
