Hi, No but at least by showing said games off you're showing the capabilities that are on offer with an audio game. You're proving that it's not just a series of beeps and that's it. There's a whole lot more to it basically and that's what we really need to get out or otherwise there isn't really going to be that much interest generated.

Something like Shades of Doom, Sarah, and even Mysteries of the Ancients isn't something you can get the hang of in a short one to five minute preview. At least not like with Q9 that is so simple you can practically pick it up and play it without the manual. Troopenum, Judgment Day, etc are also simple games you could show off that don't take much practice or studying to master. dark wrote: > Yes phil! we don't want any ill mannered yankies in our propper > English magic school thank you very much! ;D. > being serious now, my one slight issue with sarah as a quick > exhibition game is how easy it is to pick up and play without reading > the manual or looking at any commands. > > If I can just tell someone "click on a planet to fly there" or "hit > anything nasty you here in the right speaker" that is fine, ---- but > Sarah has many keys, and many sounds for people to get to grips with > at one time. > > If I got someone who wanted a complex or heavily atmospheric game, > ---- I would indeed show them Sarah, --- but that's why it didn't > occur to me when I was just randomly off the top of my head thinking > of games I could quickly show off to passers by, ---- that's also why > I didn't include mota in that list either. > > That was also in no way intended as an exhaustive list, ---- just some > random thoughts on what games I might show people. > > Bare in mind, Site village is a very crowded affair with literally > hundreds of people moving through it.
