Re: [blind-gamers] MLB the show 24 is it accessible?

[Michael Maslo]

It playable. It does not have talking menus but if you take the time to learn the sound cues and such you can play. Lot of memorization and use of OCR is necessary. isSincerely,Michael masloOn Apr 16, 2024, at 11:13 PM, Dennis Long via groups.io  wrote:Hi, does anyone know if it is accessible?  Thanks.

Re: [blind-gamers] Draconis Games

[Michael Maslo]

Yes agreed. Even when there were more developers the community cried the 
prices were to much and were looking for free copies of the software anyway.



Shared keys shared everything.


Entitlement to the very raw core.


Spend your time to develop a game for a very small community and oh yes 
don't charge us for it.



The developers dont deserve and/or need to eat and/or pay their bills.

Re: [blind-gamers] Draconis Games

[Michael Maslo]

You have had the opportunity for many many years. All of a sudden the 
community is wanting freeware and/or bunle opportunities at a 
subsgtantial price drop I am sure.



I support the decision and applaude them for taking the next step in 
their business vision.



These games have been around for at least 10 years or more and no one 
said a thing and/or cared utnil now.



If you dont want to buy the product when released and/or can't play 
anymore in windows, you had the opportunity.

Draconis Entertainment is not shutting down, nor are we

Re: [blind-gamers] Draconis Games

[Michael Maslo]

Exactly what I have been thinking Darren.


These games have been around forever. Although being around forever, no 
one said anything about them for the longest. Now that they business 
mmodel is changing all of a sudden the normal entitlement and moaning 
comes out in force.

you seem to want to be all antagonistic toward them.

Re: [blind-gamers] A Dragon Reborn

[Michael Maslo]

I don’t understand the big deal myself.

Not one individual before this announcement came out said anything about this 
company and the fact that titles have not been updated or such until this came 
out. Now everybody is up in arms about it. Why? 

In my opinion, if a company chooses to take another route then so be it. If 
you’re unable to purchase these titles now, you had all the way up to the date 
of the announcement either get a replacement key and or to try these titles 
out. If they were not available, what are you losing?

Now, mind you, this is my opinion only. I personally don’t care, for. I have 
not played these titles in many many years and have absolutely no interest in 
playing them ever again.

Sincerely,

Michael maslo

Re: [blind-gamers] Help with Tomb Hunter

Hi Laurie, you just need to jump over them. Do not forget to get the scroll. 
Once you get the scroll, I have no clue on what to do next. Is there someone 
who could tell me what to do next to get past that?

Re: [blind-gamers] Tomb hunter questions

[Michael Maslo]

Hi greg,

All you have to do is jump to the rope. You hold space plus right or left 
arrow. The sound you hear is the walls.. I am personally stuck at location 140, 
30. I can't find how to get to the next level. I hear what's there is a level 
or platform above where I am at but can't figure on how to get there.

Sincerely


Mike

Hello all,
I purchased this game yesterday and I have a couple questions. I think I am 
running into walls. If I jump and press the right arrow I get past them. Is 
that what I am running into when it makes a kinda thunk sound? Also how does 
one use the ropes? I hear one but I am not sure how to get on it.

Re: [blind-gamers] Toom hunter help

[Michael Maslo]

Hi list again,

I am still having trouble with this game. The only way I am able to jump over 
the fire or such is by running up to it. If I just hold the space and right 
arrow I die.  Also if I clung to the top of the rope, I jump and either die or 
go back down to the level below where I was. Also I am unable to find or get to 
the next level. I am able to get to coordinates 140,30 and that is ass far as I 
go or can get to.

Any help or suggestions would be sincerely appreciated. 

Sincerely,

Michael maslo

[blind-gamers] Toom hunter help

[Michael Maslo]

Hello list.

I have been playing toom hunter and I am stuck and was hoping someone could 
give me a idea of what to do.. I am on level one at coordinates 140 30.. I have 
no clue on what to do for their is a wall to the right and no way of getting 
past it. I have a scroll but I have no clue on what to do with it. I have no 
problems jumping over the fire or such and I have not figured the purpose of 
the rope. I climb up the rope and get to the top but I can't go anywhere after 
climbing to the top.

Is there anyone who could help me past this part please?.

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [blind-gamers] be my eyes for games?

[Michael Maslo]

Hi josh, I have tried madden with the ps 4 and I was able to play a little. 
These are the issues I had. I did not turn the voice on. Secondly, the only way 
u I was able to get through the menu was with my son who is sighted. Once in 
the game I was able to call the default plays. I did not attempt to call my own 
plays. Once I called my plays I was unsure of when to hike the ball. Once the 
play was ran, I had no idea of the results of the plan play.. I did not know 
how many yards if any. In my opinion, there is no way possible I would be able 
to play this alone. I would like to see your opinion.

 Hi josh,.  
 
  I have a few questions. If you would like you could contact me off list. 
First have you played madden already? If so what game system did you play it 
on? Did you turn voice feedback on? If so, what was read? Did you find the game 
enjoyable and how long did it take to learn to play? Your response is greatly 
appreciated. I have many other questions but if you would not mind answering 
those up front I would sincerely appreciate it.  
 
 
 
 Sincerely,, mike

I hope that they could make madden accessible with narrator. It is one of the 
games I would love to play.

Re: [blind-gamers] Madden is being made accessible for the blind.

[Michael Maslo]

Just out of curiosity, do you think of going to the website or reading
about it online? It specifically says Xbox or PS4. Get educated
