The game is an offline game. Just unzip that file and run it. It's got a rather weerd dos style setup, but you can get through by just pressing enter. Btw, I'd recommend trying this game.

Re: [Audyssey] large text rpgs
Hi Shadow dragon Okay after some playing I've been doing okay with it. The one thing I need to figure out is how to use healing potions maybe this is that quick slot you mention? There's been a bit of a curve being an accessible RPG party with this one, and there are still some times I don't quite get the action I'm hoping for but I think that's just experience. It's looking good so far and does work [though I wish it were a tad neater] with screen readers. Ron - Original Message - From: Shadow Dragon elementalult...@hotmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Monday, April 20, 2009 2:41 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] large text rpgs Admittedly this one has a bit of a tough interface. What you have to do is select the action you want, then I believe hit n for next turn. One thing you'll want to do is set the game from realtime to turn-based combat, it's still difficult but less so that way. Its been a while since I played, so I'm not entirely certain if in turn-based combat n is necessary to go to the next turn unless its your enemies round or not. I think it tells you somewhere when to press it though. The combat actions are displayed above the choices sort of, so if you see a bunch of rapid scrolling of enemy attacks, you'll know its still in realtime. Its definitely a tough game to get down interface wise, buts its pretty fun once you get it down. If you need any help with anything else, like the quick slots features, or exploring the massive forest when you get there, let me know on or off list and I'll do my best. Might even start up another game, it was rather fun while it lasted. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] large text rpgs
To use quick slots, and this is provided you use jaws, you need to use the drag and drop feature of your screen reader. You have to go into the character tab of the character you want to equip with potions, then select a healing potion and drag it into one of the slots that says empty. It takes a bit of getting used to but it works. To drag and drop use control insert left mouse button, and then again on the slot where you want to drag to. If you can't get that down pat, you can take the slightly longer but much easier route, go into the character tab, find a healing potion, right click on it and click use. The only problem is you can't target healing potions, they're just used on the character you use them with, so it has to be the character's turn that you want healed. Hope this helps. -- From: Ron Schamerhorn blindwon...@cogeco.ca Sent: Tuesday, April 21, 2009 5:00 PM To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Subject: Re: [Audyssey] large text rpgs Hi Shadow dragon Okay after some playing I've been doing okay with it.

[Audyssey] large text rpgs
Hello Can anybody recommend a downloadable large text rpg similar to fallthru or the world of legends that has lots of content? RPGs that use similar interfaces to World of Legends Fallthru? I've recently stumbled across nethack adom but dungeon navigation is troublesome even when the settings are set for optimal screen-reader usage. Is there any other way to make adom nethack more accessible besides changing the dungeon map to use ascii characters?
