Hi Shaun:
Hmm...I don't know of that game specifically, but there have been many
clones of Monopoly out there. One of my favorites was a game called
Hotels where you went around the world building famous hotels. It was
a lot cooler than Monopoly, but unfortunately I no longer have a copy
of that
Well Tyler.
Actually the infocom games are still available in Zcode at various places.
it's been one of these occasions where activision, who took over from
infocom officially still own the copywrite, but haven't actually released
anything to do with the games for over 20 years unless you
Well Kara we of course don't exactly have lobbies like the Us does over here
in Britain, or at least not officially although the government has
various advisary bodies.
The problem however at least in britain is that most of the portrates of the
blind in media come from organizaitons
Hi Cara:
Very true. We, the Audyssey community, do need to get more pro active
about encouraging ACB, NFB, AFB, etc in getting more games made
available to the blind community. A lot of times people on this list
and over on the Audiogames.net forum complain about accessibility of
mainstream games
Actually if you meet with people who are interested in rp and the like,
board and card games are as much known about and played as computer games.
My brother regularly plays both wii party games and fantasy board games like
Talisman with his friends, and if you go to sites like dwarfstar
Hi Tom.
You do certainly have a point there, certainly in my family with three
visually impared people, two of whome, (my mum and I), braille users,
brailling board games is something we've done for years. Indeed over
christmas we'll probably play some card games or maybe Yachzee, and if we
Hi Dark:
Well, there is some truth to braille embossing being prohibitively
expensive compared to a print book or menu. I remember when I was in
high school and one of the complaints my local high school had about
taking me on as a mainstream student was the cost of getting my
textbooks from APH.
Hi Dark:
I figured as much. After all, here in the States toy stores like
Toys-R-Us have an entire isle devoted to card and board games and it
typically includes everything from the classics like Monopoly, Life,
Sorry, Trouble, and Chess to more advanced games like Talisman and
Battle Tech. If
Hi tom.
Well while I agree on material costs, at the same time as you said yourself
the markup is frankly insane on access products, because it's a captive and
small markit manufacturers of accessible goods and providers of accessible
services basically charge through the roof. I think the
My favorite of the old ones was the PCS junkyard. I especially loved blowing
up the propane tank and the cuckoo clock. I seldom played the other games
of the program, because I was just too busy blowing stuff up. Their snipe
hunting game was pretty fun too, and their cops game.
The first audio
Hi Tom.
Looking at my university society's page, there are societies for chess,
Backgammon, Poker and indeed Bridge, so people are definitely playing these
sorts of games.
I might have the name of monster city battle wrong, before you go looking
let me ask my brother for the exact details,
Hi Dark,
I think this game is what you are writing about:
King of Tokyo
by IELLO
from Amazon: $25.19
In King of Tokyo, you play mutant monsters, gigantic robots, and strange
aliens, all of whom are destroying Tokyo and whacking each other in order to
become the one and only King of Tokyo.
At
Hi Phil.
Nice job, that is indeed it, since those were the rules my brother
mentioned. Of course, though the dice use symbols it'd be easy enough to use
braille dice, and braille the cards, though the board could be interesting.
All the best,
Dark.

Based on my own experiences and those of others I am acquainted with, Google
Chrome only causes problems. It either bogs down the machine, messes up
Internet Explorer browsing, or both. So, after several attempts with
different updates, I won't touch it. I'm not sure, but it could have
That's one thing I forgot to mention in my post as to why I give Google
Chrome a negative rating. The people I know, as well as myself, are JAWS
users. That might also be the problem.

One computer game that has been referred to as sort of like Monopoly on
steroids is Mississippi.
Tom: You are absolutely right about the importance of board games when it
comes to human interaction. We used to do a lot of summer vacationing on
the Colorado river. Pinochle cards, a tactual
That was my reason as well. And I use Winblows Vista and Internet Exploder

They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!

Hi Charlse.
I know what you mean about Mississippi being a more advanced monopoly with
added craziness, but for me the lack of other players either human online
or computer very much takes the fun out of the game. As a single player
thing I just buy a certain commodity and then just wait
Mississippi is designed for from 2 to 5 players, so it wouldn't be a very
good single person game.

Hi Dark,
Someone told me that this is a rule, but I'm not sure if it is in the rules, or
if it is just that is what the game comes with. And that is the number of
houses and hotels. My version of the game does not have that limit. And so
especially if you are playing with money on free
That is my point really Charlse, since opportunities to play audio games
with other people at the same computer are pretty limited, and are something
I've only done a few times, I'd love to see the game redesigned with either
computer opponents or the ability to play online against other
Hi Jim.
I'd always sort of assumed that at least the idea! was to have hotels for
every property on the board, even if there weren't quite enough to do that
(especially with older sets where some of the hotels and houses got lost),
though in practice I don't think I've ever actually played a
The official rules concerning houses and hotels is that, after they are all
bought, you cannot buy one. A Monopoly set comes with 32 houses and 12
hotels. After all of the houses have been bought, the only way to improve
your properties is to buy hotels, but you have to have 4 houses on each
Hi Everyone,
Sorry its been a long time since I posted last but I haven't been on the
list for a while.
Since its Christmas time I thought I'd ask santa for a new game controller
for My pc. My old game controller is just about shot.
Can any one recommend a new game controller for my PC I am using
Hi, guys. Got a question about papa sangre version II. My character for

easer to walk. And another question about the first version of the game.

Hi Steve,
Well, I have been looking into this issue myself, and unfortunately
most manufacturers are no longer producing game pads for the PC. Your
best bet is to get an XBox 360 controller from Microsoft with a PC
adapter if you care about Windows 7 and Windows 8 compatibility. For
some reason
Hi Jim,
Its not an official rule. It is just that a standard Monopoly set only
comes with a limited number of houses and hotels, and it is possible
to run out of them during game play. This of course adds an element of
strategy because you need to think more about where you place houses
and
Hi Dark,
I figured as much. As I said when I was in college there were clubs
for all kinds of games not just RPG games. There were groups for
Bridge, Poker, Chess, Checkers, etc and I didn't figure that they
would just vanish as Shaun indicated is the case where he lives.
Personally I think his
Hi Dark:
Oh, yes. Any time something is developed for the blind, is marketed as
an access product, the cost is insane. Not because it costs that much
to actually make it, but because we are a captive minority market.
As you mentioned the novelty key ring finders only cost perhaps $5 USD
if that.
