Hi Dark,
I'm sorry, it must have been someone else. I have never owned or even used any
of those specialty braille machines.
I got my first talking computer in December of 1989. It ran Jaws for dos
version 1 with an Accent S A synthesizer. In January of 1990 I was at the

Hi Jim.
Fare enough. I just remember hearing an interview several years ago in about
2007 or so with someone from the community, and them saying that there was a
game on one of the braille note taker thingies that was notable for it's use
of sound.
I was only taking a guess that person was

Hi Zack,
Of course, I guess that depends on what someone's definition of audio
game is. I consider most of the games from the Apple II-E era text
games since that is basically all they were aside for a few beeps and
boops from the speaker. I personally don't consider those games audio
games
Hi Tom.
I'd agree with you about the Apple Ii games, indeed what is an audio game
and what is a text game could be an interesting conversation.
The reason I specifically remembered that aliens game from one of the old
braille devices, is that JimI believe in the interview said it was the
Hi,
Wow, Shell Shock, that takes me back. I remember playing that quite a
bit when it was released.

Hello Ishan,
Good question. To be honest I am not quite certain who gets the credit
of writing the first audio game per se, but there are a few contenders
for that distinction. What I'll say is accessible PC games go back
before the development of audio games and it is important to start
there.

Hi Jacob,
there were actually several high quality Dos screen readers available
in the early to mid 90's. There was Jaws for Dos, Vocal-Eyes, and ASAP
which were the main three widely in use. However, if you want to use
any of them you will have to also have a hardware synthesizer like a
Dec Talk
Hi champion!

Yes, there have been a few sighted developers who have produced a few
audio games. Off the top of my head there was Richard Disteno, I

Hi Lisa,
Yeah, James North was definitely sighted. Forgot about him when trying
to recall my list of sighted audio game developers.
As for that cow place I believe you are talking about Bavisoft. They
are the ones who created Grizzly Gulch and Chillingham.

Hi Tom.
I seem to remember hearing an interview with Jim Kitchin at one point which
that the first actual audio game which used sound rather than just writing
text to the screen was on the eureaca or one of those other specialist
braille machines.
I think it was a shoot aliens type of game,
Hi Ishen.
firstly, Thomas' ward's name is not champion, neither is champion a term of

Hi Tom.
well to be accurate I knew games were! available for Pc sinse I used to
watch the show Games master, which was the first Uk program about computer
games (and very good fun), which showed me reviews of things like doom,
quake, 7th guest etc, heck in the early 90's we had a comador
Hi Charles,
Yeah, I remember the 5.25 floppy discs real well. What I remember most
is they were big, actually floppy, and could only hold something like
720K at most. Sounds laughable now that technology has progressed to
the point where they have 64 GB flash cards that is only a couple of
inches
Hi Dark,
Interesting. Yeah, you were a bit late in joining the community, but
in a way that might have been a good thing as you would probably have
been disappointed as I was with what was available in the late 90's. I

It was indeed lucky in a way. As you know, my vision, while extremely
