Re: [Audyssey] Q
Hi Thomas, Yes, but that was before the GMA list. It was on the Audyssey list. And was much more than being open to suggestions. Like you said David Greenwood put out alpha versions of Shades of Doom and asked for direction from the list as to what the game should be and play like. It really was a group collaboration as to what people wanted to see in the game. Of course he picked what he wanted to implement into the game. Still not my kind of game. I pretty much like the kind of games that I have produced. You know card games, board games, sports games etc. BFN Jim A generation which ignores history has no past or future. j...@kitchensinc.net http://www.kitchensinc.net (440) 286-6920 Chardon Ohio USA --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] Q
Hi Jim, Oh, yeah. i remember that. Shades of Doom was really the first fully accessible First Person Shooter for the blind. I was quite impressed when it came onto the seen, and the fact he let us test the Alpha version of the game. Up until then all I could find is card and puzzle games, text adventures, which were not the kinds of games I normally played before I lost my sight. Anway, I joined the GMA list primarily because David Greenwood was more open with what he was doing than some of the others who were making games then. Jim Kitchen wrote: Hi Yohandy, It didn't used to be this way. I blame it all on David Greenwood. grin Back when it was PCS Games and me, we would put out games and people would play and comment on them. But then in 1999 - 2000 David Greenwood was working on the first accessable first person shooter game. He asked on list for suggestions and comments. It became a group effert. Every since then it is like all accessible games are group efferts. Not that it is all bad, I mean I have added lots of features and tweeks to my games from the suggestions of others. Oh yeah that game by the way was Shades of Doom. BFN Jim --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Q Nine Instructions
That would be Core Exiles. I tried it for a while but I sort of lost interest in it. You might try Sryth at www.sryth.com if you haven't already. It's accessible, has a lot of content and at only 20 bucks a year for a full account it's well worth it. And if you want you can donate extra money to the game, even if it happens to be ten dollars here and there. But again that's completely up to you. But you do get rewards for donating even ten dollars to the game. Some might regard this as the gamemaster being greedy but frankly I can totally understand. For one thing Sryth is actually his job, and I do mean that literally. And in any case he doesn't hold a virtual gun to your head and say donate or else! The decision is still completely up to you as to whether or not you do donate. True some content is only available if you've accomplished certain feats in the game (such as buying a grand residence), which are sometimes made easier through donations. but if you really wanted to and were really determined you could go without donating and still get the most out of it.

Re: [Audyssey] Q Nine Instructions
hi Bill. No problem. you can search the audiogames.net database by genre, including rpg, which might help. Core exiles is imho one of the best accessible online games ever, and certainly a favourite of mine, but I won't embark on a major discussion here. It's a complex game but worth getting into, with many things to do, friendly players and no pvp. You can also try Sryth, Kingdom of loathing, Twilight heros Warriors 2 or metroplexities, all of which are worth a play, and the links to all may be found in the audiogames.net database. Metroplexities is particularly fun I think, especially it's battle system. There are probably others I've forgotten about, --- -but really there are many out there! If you ask for personal opinion I'd say the best of the bunch are core exiles, Sryth, Metroplexities and kingdom of loathing. hth. Beware the grue! Dark. - Original Message - From: William L.

These are great single player space games, I'm not sure if you'd call them rpgs in the traditional sense, but certainly worth trying.
