Hi Tom. that is unfortunately true, though one interesting fact in beatemup terms is that for everyone the casual beatemup is sort of a thing of the past. After all when I was growing up it was quite possible to walk into an arcade or a friends house and pick up something like mortal combat,

Hi Dark: Exactly. Although, Wii Sports is arguable. I have played Wii Sports with little difficulty so that game at least is arguably more accessible than most games, but I take your point about most pick up and play games are non-staarters if you are blind. On 12/10/13, dark d...@xgam.org

Hi Shaun: Interesting. That sounds like it was real fun. I haven't had anything like that lately either. However, it goes back to what I said earlier on the list. It all depends on the people you know and hang with. Some people really love board games, others are into video games, and some don't

Fair enough Tom. I admit while I've briefly played a couple of the Wii sports games it's not something I've done as frequently or know as much about as I do beatemups so my assessment on the complexities of picking the thing up and playing without sight might be off. Beware the Grue! Ark.

Well mar-dy have not been forthcoming with codes as of late but on a more serious issue, though the game does run on my win7 machine in admin mode I do get errors with html modules and game does not run right. I wish I knew before I spent the cash on it. At 03:47 AM 12/5/2013, you wrote: One

Hi Dark, Well, you are absolutely right it all depends on the group in question and the game at hand. I have never had the fortune of meeting anyone in my area would sit down with me and play a game of Jim Kitchen's Life or Monopoly, but I have been able to find some people who will sit down and

Hi Charles: I had a similar experience growing up. For many years my mom, some family friends, and I would have game nights every Friday or Saturday night where we would play one card or board game well into the night. Especially during the winter when it was too cold to do anything outside. We

Hi tom. while I agree that card and board games do have value as games to play with others, at the same time computer games can have a similar feeling provided you have a group of like minded individuals together and provided the game is one that several people can have fun with rather than

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
