Re: What Was the First AudioGame you Ever played?
I think we've had topics like this before, but hay another one doesn't matter.
As I said before I was playing graphical games with my limited vision sinse about the age of four or so, right back on an old atari and through the 16 bit era, having lots of fun with games like super Metroid, Mega man X and marrio. unfortunately though when things went all 32 bit and 3D the number of games I could play fell down to almost none (literally just beatemups).
I'd never actually considered playing games on a pc sinse my laptop had only ever been a device for school work, games went on game consoles, however as I got online in the early 2000's I ran across browser games like legend of the green dragon, ashes of Angels and in 2004 the original Sryth, not to mention quite a bit of interactive fiction. I did find some references to audio games, but to be honest the idea behind them didn't interest me, I assumed they were symplistic and aimed purely at " ;blind" people, and would not be up to the standard of anything I was used to from consoles. In 2005 On the Sryth forum I ran into Bryan P who told me about Shades of Doom, and in a way it was lucky that he did sinse had I seen something like the Bsc games first I probably would've! assumed audio games weren't worth my time.
However first person shooters were a type of game which I couldn't play graphically, sinse they were too 3D can complex for my vision to handle, and as I had friends who were fans of the doom series that enspired shades I definitely fancied the idea.
After playing, and then buying shades of doom in 2006, I then decided audio games were probably well worth my time and then literally played nearly everything in what was then the database, which was also possible given that for various complicated reasons I had close to a year when I had no academic work to do at all.
Then in 2007 I was asked to take up news posting, a nd in late 2009 I asked Sander to take on managing the database, and the rest as they say is history.
