SoundRTS you can play over a network, and it has graphics that can be turned on, so while not too sure how well it would work over the 'net, you could set up a form of LAN gaming with VI and sighted guys playing things like it and topspeed against each other...? Aside from that, there are so many versions of warcraft, starcraft, etc. etc. out there, and it's just relatively similar to one of the original warcrafts I played a long time ago.

I used to like the games that you could get for the old braille lites that Blazy made. They were cool. Mind you, I ended up taking most of them off because I didn't really know how to play solitaire and the chess thing. I did like hangman and the one where you shoot the monsters and stuff.

Re: [Audyssey] for all developers, possible games to consider for the future?
Checkers aka draughts and backgamman are already available from azabat software. for others though i do admit trival persute would be cool as a game, though similar things have been done online with real audio by the uk audio network at www.pressakey.net. As to marrio brothers, unfortunately copywrite would get in the way of actually creating a game with the marrio name, but an audio platformer is certainly possible. Beware the Grue!

Sound RTS is very similar to original warcraft (or an even older game called something like Sun Tzu's Ancient Art of War), etc., and Time of conflict is similar enough to some later versions thereof.

Re: [Audyssey] for all developers, possible games to consider for the future?
An audio Mario game was attempted but to be quite frank it was a flop since the developer went about it entirely the wrong way. He had it set up so that the enemies would make a sound five steps from you. So then you'd have to move four more steps in order to get close enough to kill them so the gameplay just didn't work. Then he made the mistake of using Midi music files which don't lend themselves well to use in games since they don't loop well. So when the Midi file for the current level ended there would be a brief pause while it reloaded and the game would hang during that time, usually just long enough for you to die.

Re: [Audyssey] for all developers, possible games to consider for the future?
Warcraft, was a series of stratogy games where you commanded peasants, knights, dragons etc and tried to defeate the enemy and take on various missions. sound rts is very similar, and in fact is getting more and more features with newer versions of the game for instance they've recently added scout and archer towers to hold your troops. World of warcraft is a massively multiplayer online graphical action/rpg game based upon the warcraft world. It has many quests, pvp, and cooperative raides pluss lots of exploring and crafting and the like, and nothing yet has been done in audio, though in discussions on the entombed list Jason has hinted that he may considder such a project at some point. There are however many accessible online rpgs played with text in brousers which offer quests, crafting, pvp etc, not to mention muds which are also real time. While neither of these is quite like world of warcraft, they do share some gameplay characteristics at the least. Hope this clears things up somewhat. Beware the Grue!

Re: [Audyssey] for all developers, possible games to consider for the future?
Hi Chastity, Well, those are definitely some interesting and good suggestions. Although, there are some of the games you suggested already out there. I know that Azobat software has a Checkeras/Drafts game as well as Backgammon. As for creating a Super Mario clone goes the developer would have to be careful in developing that game. I know that Nintendo is extremely pretective over there copyrights, but there have been retro remakes made that are like Mario. One memorable retro game similar to Mario that comes to mind is Super Tux. Although, it isn't accessible for us to play Super Tux is a free game for Linux that features the Linux pengwuine, Tux, in a side-scroller that is quite a lot like Mario. I've thought about grabbing the Super Tux source code and producing an accessible version of it for us to play. That would be close as we could get without over stepping the copyright bounds. As for Oregon Trail I use to love that game. That was definitely one of my favorite text adventures back in the day. As it happens I do have the original source code for it, and have had thoughts of converting it from Apple Basic to C++.

Then he made the mistake of using Midi music files which don't lend themselves well to use in games since they don't loop well.

I am wondering if anyone has thought of trying some sort of versions of the following in an audio format? Mario Brothers game, the original since its probably the easiest you could still jump over the bad creatures and instead of stomping on them to kill them, shoot them, gain different weapons through different levels and accumulate points to gain extra lives. Collect coins/gold for points, jump lava pits, climb ladders, I don't know something like that checkers basic checkers on standard square board where each person tries to get to the other side of the board to get kinged and then they try to take out the opponents pieces to win my yong/majong I don't know how this is really spellt, but it's a tile game with numbers and symbols in colors that have to be matched or something, not to sure of the concept quite yet The last two might be good projects for kitchensink or spoonbill software games? trivial pursuit go around the board answering questions, but if you land on a pie wedge question you have to guess that right to get your pie wedge color and game continues until you fill your entire pie, can't remember 5 or 6 slices. Questions are random, but divided into categories like science, health, history and so on. Roll of dice determines how far your piece moves over the board. Could use the monopoly dice concept along with triva questions with multiple choice answers. Otholo similar to checkers in basic concept in a square board divided into squares. Each player has 32 pieces one person white, one black. Haven't played in a while, but I think object is to get all your pieces across to other side of board and turned over. backgammon another board game with round pieces to move across, but can't remember concept of this one, I think no dice though, so like checkers in that way. oregon trail remember the ole classroom game most of us probably played as kids, well that's the one. This probably could be done with a mix of text, sounds and action. Text for picking your equiptment and reading the panels of what happens along the trail. Sound for the nature, indians, guns shooting, horses and whatever else could make sound. Action by shooting the deer, turkeys and fishing. there was another one, but can't think of it right now. Anyway, thought I'd just mention these in case anyone's interested. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
