Yes Darren, it's good to maintain the directory, and Tom Lorimer is a very
nice chap who appreciates knowing about knew games, ---- indeed I informed
him of a couple just yesterday.
I actually really admire Whitestick as a site. It was a random advert in an
otherwise highly useless braille magazine that allerted me in 2003 to the
site and the idea of games on a pc, and it was through that list that I
played games like Logd, Ashes of Angels and Sryth, not to mention my first
taste of interactive fiction thanks to Tom's Text adventures page.
It's still a great resource, and I've been quite surprised how Tom's
expanded it, indeed when he wrote a full new directory after I let him know
about the ffproject site just for online gamebooks it was something of a
shock, (I just thought he'd list the main site url somewhere).
All the best,
Dark.

Hi,
Yes whitestick is good but the only thing there is that people forget it's
there and forget to post submitions off to the webmaster to update the
site.
So yes dark is right in that it's a good place to go however if you know
of
games that are playable then please contact the owner and ask him to post
the link up on the site so others can see it to. Any directory is only as
good as the updates it gets.

Hi Lindsay.
There are several directories of online games, however the problem is they
lump say completely flash based games in with standard brouser ones, and
also these days games might use ridiculously complex html programming or
ajax which may or may not be accessible. Also bare in mind there are a
surprising amount of online games which just follow the storm8 model, ie,
pick an existing game with modular game code and rewrite it. This works
alright for some games who've made such heavy modification they are!
different, eg, twilight heroes as opposed to Kingdom of Loathing, however
many others are pretty blatant about their modding, (there are so many
torn
city or eternal duel clones it's rather ridiculous).
This isn't to say searching google or directories can't! yield some decent
games, I recently found one called the reborn for instance, just prepare
to
have to go through a lot of stuff that is either inaccessible or thinly
disguised mods before you find something playable.
The best entry for online games is the one at www.whitestic.co.uk, which
are
games people have tested and played, indeed there are a fair few there
which
need audiogames.net entries.
Hth.
Beware the Grue!
DArk.

How do I use google to find accessible online games, or is there a better
way to find the games?
