Hi Charles:

creating audio games and converting certain games into audio games. A
lot of people like yourself have never had a chance to play certain
games, and would like to know what they missed out on. Montezuma's

Hi Tom.
While I agree mainstream console or pc games are much more expensive, at the
same time audio games are actually about average for indi developed stuff at
least on pc.
Look at the smugglers games for 25 usd as an example, and for simpler arcade
titles the price is far less, especialy
Hi chris.
Well I'm less certan on the representative qualities of sound since as you
know audio and visual processing are handled diferently anyway and past
experiments have usually resulted in something with stoo much information
that is hard to interpret, rather than something which is of
Well Charlse, copywrite is only an issue if you want a game with the same
characters, as indeed occurred with the huge montizumas return mess.
For example, lets say a developer wanted to make an audio beatemup like
mortal combat. Well, it'd be possible to create a story and characters and
Happy new year to everyone

Hi Dark,
I too dislike 1D side scrollers and after trying a few I was put off of
trying more.
Because of that I may not have a good concept of which games actually
stretch that boundary and become more 2D.
Fortunately I finally tried bokurano daiboukenn 3 yesterday and was
quite impressed.
Hi All,
I fancy trying a new game. Something with a lot of action. I sadly can't afford
to buy any games, so are there any free ones with a lot of action in them? I
love taking things apart.

Glad I helped. The supply missions are really for traders. what you need to
do is physically buy the goods and take them to the location where the
mission wants them. that is why the mission payouts are so big, though
obviously since the quantities are so large you need a ship with a good

Hi Ian.
It's something I need to look into, but whenever I look at the setup and
translate it just seems a lot of hassle, particularly for someone like

I also dislike the way that people have used the japanese games as basically

Hi.
Well that is quite a ways into the game, lets just say that perhaps if you
can get on good terms with the governer of a system he might just invite
you home to see his family, and should you meet his daughter, well who

Beware the grue!

ahh yes, but we are forgetting one thing here. I am sorry to the devs

it's just a fact. so yes, we pay about what sighted people do. but the

Ah, but what about for those who have never seen it before and those who

That is true. Our prices for audio games are more or less what one

that is sort of missing the point.

That is quite true. the majority of accessible games aren't on par

Hi Shaun:
Well, I don't know about that. Rewriting a retro game is fine, but I
don't necessarily agree with going to the extreme of trying to make
everything as retro as possible. Technology has drastically improved
to the point we have better graphics, better sounds, better music, and
so on.

Exactly Dark. We'd be unlikely to get away with making a straight Metroid

Hi Tom.
I agree that both addons and random content would be good, though Draconis

and the addon for the game (an addon which actually adds randomly generating
missions).

Well there will be at some point.
Though to take full advantage of them you will need to use windows 7
or higher for full 3d effect and sound output.
look at the deathmatch thread in audiogames forum.
There is a zombie demo put out by reality game studios the group I am
with that uses the fsl
dallas we are not mainstreamed though we are blind.
There is only so much that can be done with sound.
As for online I have never been that sort in fact there are friends I

To be honest I have never tried Zero Site, but I take your point. I
