Hi Ken,

Off and on over the years I could just hit the SAP button on my TV and I
would get described audio for the Simpsons Sunday night on Cleveland Fox 8.
But I no longer get it and I do not even get described audio for the PBS
cartoons in the morning.  Had always gotten those.  Think that it has been
since the system went all digital that I no longer get any described audio.

Hi Dark,

Yeah, Kathy the umpire in my baseball game got us tickets to see Michael Reiss 
do a stand up.  She also got us the tickets to lunch and chat with him first.  
It was pretty darn cool that he sat next to me for the lunch and chat.  I told 
him about my games and that I was working on Homer on a Harley.

BTW He said that they did not know it at the time, but that there is a 
Shelbyville just north of Springfield Illinois.

Hi Muhammed,

Yes, Homer as in Homer Simpson, The Simpsons.  As Thomas said Homer is in 
just about every one of my games.  Most often it is just Woo Hoo or Doh 
when good or bad things happen.  But there is Homer on a Harley with 
Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie's car horn and even Otto the school bus 
driver.  So far Awesome Homer has Homer and Marge.


I have been a Simpsons fan since they got their start as two minute shorts 
on the Tracy Almond show.  I have all of the 21 seasons, used to get the 
described audio via SAP and even got to break bread and talk with one of 
the writers of the show.  Oh yeah and lots of Simpson's stuff like a 24

I have a homer simpson bottle opener, that when you use it on a bottle, he 
says:

Hm, beer...yes! Yes, oh yes!

That comes out in a recorded sound clip playing in a little speaker mounted 
in the bottle opener's handle, and I think this is officially licensed to 
the simpsons, and the other joke is bought it after found it on a website 
while looking for other audio specific things, and by buying one for a 
friend, it counted as covering the hosting of 2 websites for me, for around 
6 months.

Hi Muhammed,

Yes, he is. Haven't you noticed Jim is a big Simsons fan?

Homer appears in most of Jim's games in one way or another. In
football you can hear Homer going around saying "beer" once and a
while. In various games Homer says "doh" when you screw up. Apparently
Jim likes Homer Simson enough to add him to pretty much every game he
has, or so it seams like.

Hi Ken,

Thanks for the description of the game of mahjong.  Doesn't sound like the 
easiest game to create and play via sound.  I might have to look into it though 
after Awesome Homer.

It's like a pyramid of tiles, and you can only match tiles that have a free 
edge, freeing up more tiles as you remove the first ones you match.  You 
have to be careful though, lest the pyramid fall.  They have other shapes in 
the visual games too, like turrets.

Hi Ken,

Thank you.

You know to tell you the truth I am not positive exactly what or how the 
game of mahjong is played.  Is it similar to my game of concentration only 
with visual tiles instead of prizes on the squares?


BTW my Aid has been playing this game on her new Droid.  You load a bird 
into a slingshot and fire it at a pig.  Feathers flying etc.  Now her 
husband and boys play all of the on line XBox mudds etc, but she is not 
into those at all.  I guess different games for different people.  Or even 
different games at different times.  Some times I play Concentration, 
Master Mind or Star Mule, other times I am more into mindless 
entertainment.

Re: [Audyssey] Games from APH?

2011-01-24 Thread dark

Oh yes double dragon,  forgot that one ;D.

I played it first on an amstrad cpc computer at the age of about 6, then 
later on the Amigar and at the arcades.


Actually on a pound fifty at the age of eleven, which gave fifteen creddits 
at the time I once finished the arcade game, something I was amazingly proud 
of sinse it seemed rare to finish an arcade machine ;d.


I will say that I did practice, especially considdering that though I had 
quite a bit more vision before my hemmerage at the age of 7, and so had 
enough field of vision to play something like packman easily, after that 
point my vision was the same as it is now so I had to work fairly hard, 
especially with something like marrio brothers.


As to the Blind = stupid thing, that is unfortunately quite common though 
one thing I'm looking forward to when I have my phd in a couple of years, is 
being able to turn around to all the random people in shops, banks, cinema 
reception who think I'm such an idiot they can use my first name as if 
talking to a child and say "actually,  it's doctor! hewitt!" ;D.


In fact, I actually think it's probably bad generally to treat blind kids 
that way. it's something I've noticed from people who grew up in specialist 
schools, they become incredibly cleaque orientated and only ever talk to 
other blind people because they considder everyone else "radically 
different"


this is something else I'm addressing in my thesis.

Anyway, I think my high horse is running away, so I'd better run off and 
catch it lol!

Re: [Audyssey] Games from APH?

2011-01-23 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi Dark,

That's my experience as well. Granted I was fully sighted at ages 8,
9, 10, etc but I was playing games way harder than the APH games at
that age. At age 9, around 1987, the leading titles ffor the NES were
Mario Brothers, Castlevania, Double Dragon, Castlevania, Megaman, and
a couple of others. All were released around 87 and 88. If I had been
given an APH game at that age not only would I have slotterd my way
through it I would probably have been board to tears as I did it. So I
don't know why people consistently think things have to be made easy
for the blind when I'm certain many of us could rise to the challenge
if we wanted to. I'm sick and tired of us being treated as a
half-whit, subhuman, retard just because our eyes don't function. What
I'm talking about is dignity, and I believe the blind should be given
the exact same respect, challenges, and oppertunities as our sighted
peers.

Cheers!

Hi Phil,

Yeah, I realize being produced by APH they are primarily designed for
schools and school age children, but I still think games like Termite
torpedo are overly priced compared to what else is on the market.
There are several other games out here that is as good as and even
better than Termite torpedo for less.

As for Toodle Tiles I don't think I've ever played that one
personally. As far as I know it is the only accessible Mahjong game on
the market right now. So That one might be worth paying for just to
acquire it but most of the others I wouldn't give a dime for. My
personal opinion of course.

That's true.  Also, you should compare Termite Torpedo's visual mode to the 
blind mode.  It's terrible!  I wouldn't recommend those games to anyone. 
Jim Kitchen's games are far far better, and they're free.  Hey Jim, I 
mention your name here because I'd love it if you could make a mahjong game. 
Tootle Tiles wasn't bad actually, but I certainly wouldn't pay for it,

Also, after trying on three different machines, I've never! got the damn

description in the database, though I'm tempted to just put something 
together from the instructions,  bad as that sounds (usually I always 
try to play a game before describing it).


Eitherway, apparently they wrote ridiculously symple audio games, slapped 
a price on them, and called them a revolutionary new product considdering 
they were the first audio games ever created,  despite the fact that a 
bit of googling would've shown them different.


Oh, and the method they apparently use for showing audio directions is 
just insane!


According to someone who described the games on audiogames.net, instead of 
hereing something in sterrio pan, you here a voice pout of center speakers 
saying "right right right" or "left left left" depending upon where the 
enemy or object is,  which is just ridiculous!

I'm a litle confused why the difficulty of the games would be lowered as to 
be so ridiculous just because they are aimed at young children,   
something I thought when I tried mudsplat.


I think I first completed Golden axe on the Amigar at the age of 8, and 
super bomberman and street fighter 2 at normal difficulty at the age of 
nine, though these took a lot of practice.


I was playing berzerk and joust when I was about four, and while I did often 
play on the easy setting, this wasn't that much less difficult than normal 
(easy on berzerk, the robots didn't fire at you).


So while having a range of difficulties for different aged players is 
reasonable, your probably likely to find not a few kids who could slaughter 
their way through something if it was made too easy,  which seems to be 
the case with the aph games.

I'm not highly strung or easily offended as a rule, but I've read the

Re: [Audyssey] Games from APH?

2011-01-23 Thread Phil Vlasak

Hi
One reason to develop games that don't pan sounds is  that some people can 
only hear out of one ear.

There are few games that someone like that can play that are not turn based.
Of course panning could be an option to turn on or off.

Hi Thomas,
The games from APH are designed to be purchased by sighted teachers for 
blind and visually impaired children.

They all have large print graphics.
Larry Skutchan is the head of development and being totally blind he is 
aware of the range of games for the blind as he purchased all of PCS 
earlier DOS games.
Unfortunately he has to have the game concepts accepted by a board of 
advisers who probably reduced the challenge in the game concepts to make 
them easier to play for young children.


I had fun playing Toodle Tiles, Based on the ancient game of Mahjong
And Talking Word Puzzles is very challenging.
It is an accessible crossword puzzle game.
The others, Armadillo Army, Termite torpedo, and Hurry Scurry
I wouldn't buy as they are too easy.

In my personal opinion the games aren't worth the price. It has always

there are plenty of competing accessible games out there on the
market. Besides the high price they are not that great to begin with.
To me Shades of Doom or something else is far better games and are

Re: [Audyssey] Games from APH?

2011-01-23 Thread Phil Vlasak

Hi Thomas,
The games from APH are designed to be purchased by sighted teachers for 
blind and visually impaired children.

They all have large print graphics.
Larry Skutchan is the head of development and being totally blind he is 
aware of the range of games for the blind as he purchased all of PCS earlier 
DOS games.
Unfortunately he has to have the game concepts accepted by a board of 
advisers who probably reduced the challenge in the game concepts to make 
them easier to play for young children.


I had fun playing Toodle Tiles, Based on the ancient game of Mahjong
And Talking Word Puzzles is very challenging.
It is an accessible crossword puzzle game.
The others, Armadillo Army, Termite torpedo, and Hurry Scurry
I wouldn't buy as they are too easy.

Hi Ryan,

In my personal opinion the games aren't worth the price. It has always
seamed to me the developer who created the APH games wasn't aware
there are plenty of competing accessible games out there on the
market. Besides the high price they are not that great to begin with.
To me Shades of Doom or something else is far better games and are
worth the price to license.

Re: [Audyssey] Games from APH?

2011-01-22 Thread Valiant8086

Hi.
Actually, I like termite torpedo. It actually takes some intelligence 
and strategy to play that game. And the voiceovers for it are fantastic. 
I'd venture to say that it has the best recorded voiceover of any game I 
have ever played, audio or not.

Its probably good if you are the average poor handicapt blind retard 
maybe even a child that has even less inteligence than a deranged 
retard and is generally bad and likes to format his drive or run 
things like lets see what  this command does kind of thing.
But for any real computer user, ie one that can actually know what the 
internet is, well.
Long and short is These are worse than bavisoft and they well are not 
for us.
Maybe some narrow minded sole made these because thats what the 
retarded blind are worth.
I don't want to be associated with the blind retards association and I 
don't play these though I did find and try these ages ago.

To say, bd, is an understatement.
If you want something like this, then you should play the kitchensinc 
games.
Yeah, basic, and quite old school but at least they emulate the 
physical boards and actually are enjoyable.

Re: [Audyssey] Games from APH?

2011-01-22 Thread dark
Also, after trying on three different machines, I've never! got the damn 
things to work, that's one reason why armadillo army has no written 
description in the database, though I'm tempted to just put something 
together from the instructions,  bad as that sounds (usually I always 
try to play a game before describing it).


Eitherway, apparently they wrote ridiculously symple audio games, slapped a 
price on them, and called them a revolutionary new product considdering they 
were the first audio games ever created,  despite the fact that a bit of 
googling would've shown them different.


Oh, and the method they apparently use for showing audio directions is just 
insane!


According to someone who described the games on audiogames.net, instead of 
hereing something in sterrio pan, you here a voice pout of center speakers 
saying "right right right" or "left left left" depending upon where the 
enemy or object is,  which is just ridiculous!




Beware the grue!

Dark.
