Re: [Audyssey] Good news for all gamers!
Well its because of viruses and other things through email that I have resorted to dropbox as my file sharing site of choice. I like the public links but also the shared folders. Even for free use. helps me with admin work. I can ring the client on skype get him to run the files in his dropbox and I have the exact coppies on mine and I know what he is doing.

Re: [Audyssey] Good news for all gamers!
well I wouldn't mind these games being rewritten, The concept of mars is quite cool but getting out dated, some sort of exploration game is something we havn't had for ages if ever. Random events though hmmm. If we kept the theme as the origional, more places to restock air, a way to get back from time warps befor you run out of fuel. A description of what rocks do what and a way to list what you have, also to warn you if something is dangerous. Have more stations to restock your ship. Be able to go further than mars or if staying with the same theme back to earth. In truth with the random elements switched off you only have enough fuel to get to mars and not much more really.

Re: [Audyssey] Good news for all gamers!
Hey Shawn, I like the way you think. SMILES. It would be cool to have the mars game in the windows platform. We need a space simulator simulator to say three D velocity. Unless someone has a better plan. So far for we blying nuts there's Three D velocity. The first ever hand to ear flight simulator that you can do pretty much everything a sighted military pilot would need to do on a mission from eather the keyboard and or a USB GAMEPAD/FLIGHT YOKE. It is the first hand to ear project that I know of that has force feedback written into it for that realistic game play effect. Then there's the Microsoft Flight simulator project. You do need a couple other programs to get fs to become blind friendly. FS is ok, but tdv is better. There is a up grade of the Microsoft flight simulator coming out next year that's suppose to have roughly 100 birds to fly. But that's all that I can say at this time. But I would love to see a space shuttle simulator that is as realistic as possible. Right now the space plan is the space station. But they do have the new up coming space ship that they'd like to use to go back to the moon, or to a meator and or to Mars with. I think that the old mars game would be a great stepping stone to use for the ground floor for a newer up grade. That's my two cnets on this subject. ron and Boz on turns nine years old on the 24th, which is Monday. -Original Message- From: shaun everiss Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2011 3:36 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Good news for all gamers! well I wouldn't mind these games being rewritten, The concept of mars is quite cool but getting out dated, some sort of exploration game is something we havn't had for ages if ever.

Hi dark, I believe the problems are because of his email provider blocking out potentially risky attachments. Wouldn't be a first, I'm 100% sure google does it, and since you can't even run a program in system access's file manager, it'd come as no surprise that they'd be stripping messages off of potentially dangerous files like executables or compressed archives. Maybe Richard could use something like dropbox, or he could temporarly change the file's extension to something like to .txt or something, that'd most likely get it through the filters, and accessing them afterwards wouldn't be a problem since the binary content would be intact.

To access zip files, just try 7zip from http://www.7zip.com/ all you need to do is right click or similar on the file in windows explorer, select the 7zip item you want such as extract here to get everything from the zip folder in your current location, or extract to which will create a new folder with the contents of the zip archive in it. 7zip is a very easy to use program and should make access anything zipped far easier, pluss this then means that if Richard or anyone else wants to send aroung games this should make them fairly easy.

Hey, Ron. Sadly dos games won't run under 64 bit windows 7. I am in the progress of finding a dos emulator that will work with screen readers. -- Email services provided by the System Access Mobile Network.

Re: [Audyssey] Good news for all gamers!
Hi, Well, it depends on the game actually. I have some Dos programs I compiled for a 32-bit target environment and those run fine on Windows 7 64-bit. Its the older Dos programs that were compiled for a 16-bit op that have issues. I have not located a Dos emulator that works with a screen reader so old 16-bit Dos games require an older box if you want to play them. On 10/19/11, michael barnes c...@samobile.net wrote: Hey, Ron.

Hi Michael, That only works if you have a 32-bit system and 16-bit backwards compatibility. Windows 7 64-bit has dropped support for 16-bit applications.
