I was very happy to see the article on gamespot. Great that a site that focuses on sighted games kind of educated those gamers on what we can do too, as far as games. Also happy to see so many good comments from its users, who usually are kids who are either bashing disabled people or other minorit

Hi, everyone. I have an interesting little problem, which I really need to find a way around. It's my other half's birthday on September 26th, and he wants a Ten-pin alley bowling party. So this is where I lay in a boatload of food, a lake of beers, and a bunch of good friends and we all have

Wish I could help you there Lulu, but I don't think there's really anything you can do. I don't think anything would necessarily happen if you left the game alone long enough for the guys to grab some grub as long as it was between frames or players. You have acquired the skill of Weaponry Ther

Hi Lulu, Doing nothing when Bo asks you to hit the space bar is the pause function. Bo will make snide comments every so often to let you know you are paused. He will run off to the snack bar and I think eventually fall asleep and snore. That is a little Easter egg in the game. So just let Bo sl

Hello all, John Brieger here. I am currently developing an audio-game in Java, and am wondering if anyone else on this list has done so already. If so, do you have any tips/advice for me? It seems as though most games developed on this list are using the .NET framework, but I wanted to be able t

Just let the game stay as it is, and listen to the ornery comments. Doing nothing is the way to pause the game. Nothing will be lost or changed. A bowling bash is a neat idea, and I would like to be there to beat people. If the party guests have already created their players, use the handicap
