Re: [Audyssey] dos games again
Hi Peter, I'm sorry, but I don't remember how I had multiple player support in my dos version of Simon. And I don't have much luck trying to run dos programs on my XP computer. I was told though that my dos version of Simon did not play the way that the game of Simon is supposed to be played.

Re: [Audyssey] dos games again
Hi Shaun, Yes, I guess that is what I meant when I said that the dos games put text to the screen, thus you can use your screen reader rather than a sapi5 voice. Personally though I very much prefer ATT Crystal, ATT Lauren, ATT Charles or even Neo Speech Kate for game play. I really prefer almost any ATT voice over Eloquence for game play. I do use Eloquence for things like writing this message in HJ Pad. And then I use a Triple Talk USB synthesizer for programming in VB6. Just different preferences for different things and different people I guess.

Re: [Audyssey] dos games again
Hi, Well, as far as time goes that depends on how much time the developer has to work on it and how easy the game is to program. Some of the PCS Dos games are fairly simple programs. For example, PCS Monopoly, probably wouldn't take that long to create. The Kick Boxing game would be fairly easy to write as well. peter Mahach wrote: matheus, we are looking into years here, not to add that sarah is not finished yet. plus, at least with outlook you can make rules so if it sees a message about the pcs dos games or similar it'll instantly trash it, and like you said many people want it. this thread there on klango is quite long and I would suggest reading it to see what was going on there, as that was quite interesting. too bad we gone nowhere afterwards. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

And now, my message to Phil himself: - Original Message - From: Trenton Matthews To: p...@pcsgames.net Sent: Sunday, November 09, 2008 1:20 PM Subject: Kitchen's Inc Games For Dos Confirmed On Vista Platform! Hello Phil, If you can't upload any of the dos games that you have, can I at least donate something to you for the game snipe hunt or Panzars In North Africa? Jim's Dos version of bopit game has no problems with the Vista basic machine I have. So I just wanted to let ya know that they are working fine on my machine with no problems. I know you're probably annoyed by now about this, I just wanted to let ya know that I am not having any problems. All you'd have to do, is make a disclaimer on your dos games page that no support for these titles is available, and if something happens to their pc, its not your fault. Your dos games for the blind, are like what the atari was for the sighted gamer. They may not have been workable with every sound card on the market, but at least you provided different sound drivers for the game to at least have a way to produce its sounds, and I liked what you created! Windows may be the way of the future, however DOS still has its pride. You can still make your windows port of all the games you've ever made, but just like the sighted gamer, there isn't a sighted that could not be found online for free. And that's why I, and at least 5 other folks want the games back on the market! And here's proof to that claim: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/pcsdosgames One of the users on Klango has started a petition to get these games back. If you don't want to bring back your famous games for me, then do it for your fans of the audio gaming world, and I just don't mean for the audiogames.net web site! And yes, on the front page close to the top of the galaxy, it says A devision of PCS Games! The Gaming Galaxy was made in your honor, and the only way its going away, is if your web site does. I just wanted you to know that. Take care, and happy gaming!

Re: [Audyssey] dos games again
What Phil does with his creations and or collaborations is up to him. Getting DOS games to work on Windows platforms might not be as easy as you think. It may take a lot of time and effort, so I find no problem if he wants to do that work in his own time, as much time as he wants to take doing that work, and charging what he feels is a fair price for the redone games. If people don't want to pay for them, or if people want games he is not willing to work on right now, but plans to work on in the future, so be it. Just as Jim Kitchen has gotten several requests to make his game online multiplayer games, and he has decided not to do so, we should accept the decision of the game creator.

Also despite putting a notice that I would not support them, I am sure to get hundreds of messages complaining that the games don't work on their computers. If another game developer is willing to collaborate and help me produce windows versions of my old games I would welcome any contact. - Original Message - From: Josh jkenn...@gmail.com To: gamers list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Sunday, August 02, 2009 5:03 PM Subject: [Audyssey] dos games again hello, the following is a klango forum post about classic dos games. also if anyone knows if any night football for dos works in windows I'd like to have the full copy of that game, along with full copy of world series baseball for dos.
