Re: [Audyssey] Destenation mars
Indeed tom, that was rather ridiculous, especially considdering neither the original game nor the remake were accessible (in fact the old retroremake I found of it a couple of years ago appeared to go missing too, I wonder if the same thing happened). While their are a few cases of companies and people who want their work out there and played, eg, the creator of turrican who actually not only gave permission for the games' name, graphics, music and other aspects to be used in remakes, but also allowed the originals to be redistributed, and the author of fallthru, these are rare cases and usually as you said the company will scream and shout while doing nothing to get the game out to people who may stil want to play it. What is almost worse though, is often the company simply want the name, so that they can produce a game later on with the old game name as a draw. Take golden axe. The original is a classic and no mistake, however there have been several really quite awful games bought out under the golden axe name supposedly as part of the series. For instance Golden axe the duel, a very bad quality one on one beat em up on the Sega Saturn console, and more recently, a game on the xbox which is of all things a 3D beast riding affair that plays almost like a racing or vehicle game and is by report really not good either. Though this really doesn't happen in terms of accessible games sinse there are so few around, and maybe it'd be worth trying to contact this chap to ask about the games' status. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Destenation mars
Hey, Dark. I agree with you. In some cases people just want to play these old dos games because like myself I use to play them in school. I myself just want to play these old games and not remake or change anything. What will happen if nobody can get a hold of these different people to ask about their games? It would be greatly sad if people can still play some of these games and yet the people who have the games won't pass them out to people like me who just want to play them. -- Email services provided by the System Access Mobile Network.

Hey, Dark. That is the reason why I post it on the list. The version that I had got was from a good friend. Although it would be great if I could get the last version that was made for that game.

The problem michael, is that doss games sites list both playable and unplayable ones. Searching google or the if archive can be useful, but a lot of these things need to be looked at carefully. that's why I'm stil creating audiogames.net pages for games like bramina and fallthru, and will probably do one for destination mars if someone is willing to give the game a perminant home.

Hi, Same here.

Re: [Audyssey] Destenation mars
I'm not sure tom, sinse the game is s! old. As I've said before all the old infocom games can be found on http://if.illuminion.de/index.html The webmaster of that site has freely said that should activision ever contact him and request he removes the games he'd be happy to do so, but as they are no longer available anywhere else he prefers to have them available to others. ditto with fallthru and bramina, both of which i found freely hosted on old doss game sites. While I'm all for respecting the developers of games and seeing their hard work isn't sniched by someone for nothing, when this gets to the point of disallowing people from playing games just for a vague fear of copywrite it strikes me as a litle ridiculous.

Re: [Audyssey] Destenation mars
Hi Folks, Here is info about the developer of Destenation mars From: The Braille Monitor January, 1990 There is a new computer game for IBM and IBM compatible computers. It is called CASINO. It actually is three games in one: blackjack; slot machine; and a four-card poker game called flash poker. It is fully usable with a screen-reading program and a speech synthesizer or by a sighted person from the screen. It has sound effects and other features. For your copy, send a check in the sum of $15 to: Richard De Steno, 20 Meadowbrook Road, Short Hills, New Jersey 07078; or call (201) 379-7471 for more information. The game will be sent on a five and a quarter inch diskette unless a three and a half inch is requested. From: The Braille Forum, November 1994 Dodge City Desperados is a new computer adventure game for IBM and IBM- compatible computers that works well with speech output. The player becomes the sheriff of Dodge City in the days of the wild West, hunting down the desperados in town, something that's not so easy to do. For your copy, send a $20 check to Richard De Steno, 20 Meadowbrook Rd., Short Hills, NJ 07078, or call (201) 379-7471 for more information. Please specify which size disk you want. Other games are also available. From: Future Reflections Fall 1995, After doing some research with vendors and organizations I have discovered that there are a few programs which were written by and for the blind. These programs are all text-based programs. These are the titles: Guess the Capitals, Atlantic City Black Jack, Casino, Destination Mars, Dodge City Desperado's, Run for President, Sounds Like. These are all IBM compatible programs. These software programs may be purchased through Ann Morris Enterprises, Inc. 1 (800) 454-3175 and/or through Ferguson Enterprises (605) 546-2366. from: Audyssey; Computer Games Accessible to the Blind Edited by Michael Feir Issue 14: September/October, 1998 Destination Mars Review by Patrick R Davis: I want to review a game by Richard Destino. It has been around for some time, but it is still good. There is an old version on Dave Poehlman's web page at www.clark.net/pub/poehlman/readme.htm and you can buy it from Ann Morris Enterprises. Destination Mars is a game where you have to get to Mars, but you have to get through certain hazards such as asteroid fields and alien ships. You can also collect gold, diamond, and platinum off some asteroids. You can use the metals to get fuel, phaser power cells, and a new force field generator from space stations. Also, things will break on your spaceship and you will have to find a place to repair them. It is pretty good, but there are a couple of things that I think he could improve. The first thing is when firing at alien ships, the computer decides whenever you hit them or not. I think Richard could have used audio input to aim and shoot. For example, he could have used some descending tones and put a low tone somewhere in the middle of it that someone would have to hit a key on to fire. Another thing he could do to improve it is to put a feature on it that would tell you how many repairs are needed. I also heard that he is going to add some sounds to his game. He has also made a game called Dodge City Desperadoes. Unfortunately there isn't an older version on Dave's web page, but you can buy it from Ann Morris Enterprises. I haven't won this game yet. In this game, you have to catch 3 desperadoes that are in The town to cause trouble. You also have to find them before your time runs out. There is a lot of things you need to look for before you can catch them however. The game is okay but I think it needs some extra work done on it. For example, it would be easier if he had the word limit for 3 or 4 words instead of 2. I also think it would be easier if the game used the arrow keys to get around town with instead of always typing. Other than that, it is a pretty good game. Both of his games cost about $20.00. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Also, things will break on your spaceship and you will have to find a place to repair them. It is pretty good, but there are a couple of things that I think he could improve. The first thing is when firing at alien ships, the computer decides whenever you hit them or not. I think Richard could have used audio input to aim and shoot. For example, he could have used some descending tones and put a low tone somewhere in the middle of it that someone would have to hit a key on to fire. Another thing he could do to improve it is to put a feature on it that would tell you how many repairs are needed. I also heard that he is going to add some sounds to his game. He has also made a game called Dodge City Desperadoes. Unfortunately there isn't an older version on Dave's web page, but you can buy it from Ann Morris Enterprises. I haven't won this game yet. In this game, you have to catch 3 desperadoes that are in The town to cause trouble. You also have to find them before your time runs out. There is a lot of things you need to look for before you can catch them however. The game is okay but I think it needs some extra work done on it. For example, it would be easier if he had the word limit for 3 or 4 words instead of 2. I also think it would be easier if the game used the arrow keys to get around town with instead of always typing. Other than that, it is a pretty good game.

Re: [Audyssey] Destenation mars
Hi Folks, I found my copy of DESTINATION MARS Version 2.1 Copyright 1990, 91, 93 by Richard L. De Steno 20 Meadowbrook Road Short Hills, New Jersey 07078 Phone: 201-379-7471 Copying of this program is prohibited except for the personal use of the purchaser! * INSTRUCTIONS FOR DESTINATION MARS * by Richard L. De Steno Destination Mars is a game that presents you with the challenge of successfully travelling from Earth to Mars. You must avoid such dangers as excessive damage to your ship, running out of fuel, being vaporized by space aliens, crashing your ship, and others. You begin the game by placing the game diskette in your default drive and entering the word MARS. After the opening announcement, you will be asked if you want sound effects. Simply press the letter Y if you do want sound effects or the letter N if you would rather play the game without sound effects. Do not press the ENTER key at any time in the game after making a choice that asks for a letter. However, number entries do require a press of the ENTER key. Next, you are instructed to press the letter B to blast off. If you blast off successfully, you will begin the thirty five million mile trip to Mars. You travel by spinning the cosmic wheel, which is done by pressing the ENTER key. This produces a number from 1 to 10. Your ship then travels two hundred thousand miles times this number. For example, if you spin a 6, you travel one million, two hundred thousand miles toward Mars on that spin of the wheel. Press S at the cosmic wheel prompt to toggle sound on and off. Each spin of the cosmic wheel presents you with a situation. Most of the situations require you to make a choice. You will be prompted in such cases to press A - B - E - F - R - N or H. These options mean the following: A is for accelerating - B is to use your force field barrier - E is for taking evasive action - F is for firing your phasers - R is for making repairs - N is for taking no action. H is to get help if you forget these definitions. You may exit the game whenever you are directed to spin the cosmic wheel, simply press the ESCAPE key or CTRL-C. You may also exit at any of the preliminary prompts at the beginning of the program. Most of the prompts in the game are self-explanatory and need no elaboration. There are numerous ways that you may be prevented from reaching Mars. You undoubtedly will experience them as you attempt to reach your destination. There are some surprises in store for you in this regard. Note that you use ten units of fuel with each spin of the cosmic wheel. Also, keep in mind that each instance of damage to your ship must be repaired. If you go too fast, you may enter a time warp. Here is a hint: the astute player will escape the time warp on the first attempt. You may freeze the game at the prompt to spin the cosmic wheel by pressing F and entering a file name. To resume the frozen game, enter the file name with MARS, like this: MARS FILENAME. There are other programs available from Richard De Steno. Check the README.DOC file provided with this program, or contact him for info at: Richard De Steno, 20 Meadowbrook Road, Short Hills, NJ 07078. Phone: 201-379-7471.

Re: [Audyssey] Destenation mars
Hi Dark, Yeah, I for one agree with you. As the author of the http://if.illuminion.de/index.html website said it is an aweful thing for a work of art to be lost through the copyright holders indiference. Which, sadly, is the case with a lot of games written by commercial companies. For a lot of mainstream companies they write a game, sell it for all it is worth, and then forget about it. Years later when that game can no longer be purchased, it becomes an old classic, the companies scream and cry over the copyright laws. I think that more than anything else really irritated me over the Montezuma's Revenge issue a couple of years back. For heaven's sake the game was released by Parker Brothers in 1984. Parker Brothers sold copies for the Atari 2600 and 5200 and then forgot about it. Utopia comes along buys up the game makes a sequel called Montezuma's Return, and that game itself becomes as lost to time as the original game. In fact, I didn't even know Montezuma's Return existed until I got the cease and desist letter. You would think that a product like that which is now better than 25 years old should become public domain if there haven't been any updates to it in that length of time. Yet some people are willing to hang on to the copyrights while barring us from enjoying it. Cheers! On 5/12/11, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: I'm not sure tom, sinse the game is s! old.

Re: [Audyssey] Destenation mars
Hey, Thomas. I agree with you about the copyrights thing. Myself I belive that if a game has been around for at least fifteen years and have not been updated and is no longer for sale then people should have the right to the game. Especially if nobody can contact the creater of the games. I personally don't think anyone on this list would report anybody for passing the game or games around the list.

Thanks for doing that. I wonder how many people, other than myself, automatically deleted his message with the attitude of no subject line, no interest. I wonder if the copy of the game he was given is not legal? I believe that the game was originally sold by one of those businesses that send merchandise for blind people through the use of mail order catalogs. I recall the game, written by Richard Destino, was one of several games on a floppy disk that sold for roughly $20, although I may be mistaken on some of my info because of the length of time since I have encountered the game.

Re: [Audyssey] Destenation mars
Hi Michael and all, I'm guessing the version you have is an older one. When I purchased that game around 1993 or so, I believe it was version 2.0. For those who have never played this game, it was a text-based game, by Richard de Steno, that also included PC speaker sounds. The object was to fly your ship to Mars and land on the planet. Along the way, you had to overcome various obstacles including aliens attacking you, being subjected to radiation and magnetic fields, etc. You could even land on an asteroid to look for various rocks. It was a pretty good game for it's time, and I wish I had purchased more of the developer's works. All his games cost $20.00 each back then, and there were no demo versions as far as I know. He also had a casino game that included four gambling games, a word game called Sounds Like, and one called Dodge City Desperrados. Thanks.

Re: [Audyssey] Destenation mars
Hi, Hmmm...Hard to say with an application like that. Its more than 15 years old. Even though the copyrights might still be in effect it all depends on how the developer wants to handle it. If we could ask him he might just say share them. Alot of games like the original Prince of Persia for Dos from the 1990's are now free shareware games. Some developers are really lax about sharing older games like that. Especially, if they aren't interested in updating and reselling the game.
