Hey Charles, you ask a great question.
Because you're not the only one who'd like to know the answer to this
curious question.
I've always known it asAliens In The Outback.
So maybe someone can educate us all.

The acronym is AITO, which stands for Aliens In The Outback. However, the
desktop icon and the user's guide refer to, as you say, Alien Outback. So,
with this in mind, does anyone on the list recall where Aliens in the
Outback came from, as well as the acronym, AITO? Just curious.

Ron,
As I have and probably end up correcting everyone on this list in the
future, its not "aliens in the outback" its "alien outback"

Hi Darren, from Ron and Leader dog now white to gray haired lab Leader dog
Boz.
I'll test pretty much anything I see that's new and interests me as a
blind
gammer and simmer.
I have and enjoy
Blast Chamber since I was a beta tester for it.
then hunter and Troopanum from now known Blind software.
Their address is
www.blindsoftware.com
Then there's aliens in the outback.
then Tenpin alley of course.
Then there's the first ever hand to ear millitary side of the flying coin
Three D Velocity from www.bpcprograms.com Then for the civilian side of
the
flying coin, there's Microsoft's Flight simulator version ten.
Better known as fsx.
Version eleven is suppose to be coming out simetime this year.
But to make fsx fully blind friendly, go and take a look at a program
called
It's Your plane.
It is a company out of Canada.
their address is
www.itsyourplane.com
There is a small bridge like program that you can down load the zip copy
and
install for free and or make a donation to.
To get around the donation message, just reboot your machine.
You'll need to install the three programs in the following order.
1. FSX.
2. FSUIPC.
3. IYP.
I have been using a couple of audio programs both for realistic sounding
weather and realistic sounding sound effects for airplanes and vehicles
and
such while on the ground.
but that's another huge story. GRIN.
For those who want to play online.
Check out.

So that's my two cents on this subject.

Subject: [Audyssey] games we always come back too?
hi all,
well i don't know if this type of thread will generate any interest but i
thought that i would throw this out there.
there are games out there, either online or stand alone that keep us
coming
back whether it be on a constant basis or whether we play them for a
while,
put them down, then pick them up after a break.
so i was just wondering what games for you fall into this category and
why?
list as many games as you like. i'll start.
well right now i'm going to mention 1 game just to get this started. the
game i am going to mention is core exiles, which can be found at
http://www.core-exiles.com
i have been playing this game now on and off since november 2009. i
personally love it. the reasons why are the same reasons that keep me
coming
back. in no particular order:
1. completely persistent. the game does not end in any way, shape or form.
there's no rounds, no reset, you can keep playing and expanding as you
wish.
2. no right or wrong way to play. in this game there are just so many
paths
you can take! each obviously has it's own plus and minus sides but the
point
is that you can build your character and go down any pathway that you
like.
3. progression through reward. this is a game that keeps you wanting to
play. even after nearly 3 years of playing with the same account i haven't
unlocked every single piece of technology currently available in the game.
4. awesome community. people care about each other on the game. i'll give
you an example, because i hadn't been on the game in a few months, someone
in the game that knows me emailed me through the guild forums that i
belong
too, just to find out if i was ok.
5. the game is like a book. like i said before, there is no reset. if you
are a free game player, then your account if left inactive will remain so
for 180 days.
6. no massive game advantages between paid and free players. this is
probably 1 of the best things i love about this game. yes there are of
course advantages to having a paid account, there would have to be in
order
for people to buy it but the point is that it won't put you above the free
players.
well they are the most important points of the game.
