Re: [Audyssey] USA Games Holiday News.
Great news! I'm certainly looking forward to trying both games out, and I'm very glad that problems in final Conflict developement have been gotten around. sinse NExt Gen is by far my favourite Trek series, a stratogy game based on it, fighting enemies like The Borg and the cardassians as well as the traditional Trek enemies would deffinately be a good thing. Does the game stil use the next gen sounds? I do remember reading somewhere that it did, but I could well be wrong, or things might have been changed around sinse then. Beware the grue!

USA Games Entertainment Holiday News Nov. 9, 2006 Introduction Greetings gamers, There is allot happening for USA Games customers and supporters this holiday season. We have a couple of releases coming up as well as a completely new and improved web site going up. So read on to get the scoop. Star Trek Final Conflict At last after two years of development, testing, and many setbacks we are happy to announce STFC 1.0 is nearly complete and is ready for final release. As most of you know the code was lost for this title, but I managed to sort through my betas and found one stable enough to release to the general public. There will be a few miner bugs and snags in 1.0, but for the most part it is stable and ready to ship. All that really needs doing is finishing the users guide, rebuild the installer, and post it on the web site for download. As many of you may have heard this 1.0 final release will be released as free ware. There will be no charge for the full release, and among the changes is the full version of the game, support for DirectX 9.0C 2006, Microsoft .NET 2.0, and uses Innosetup for installation. Although, we know the release will between now and Christmas we aren't prepared to set a specific day and time. More information will be announced on the Audyssey mailing list, the USA Games mailing list, or our web site http://www.usagames.us when the announcement is ready to be given. Montezuma's Revenge I'm aware many of you will be interested in venturing in to temple 2. However, I've not been able to complete that level do to time. However, I do have plans to update Montezuma's Revenge with support for .NET Framework 2, a new manual, and other miner bug fixes, changes, and updates. More information will be announced as the release is nearer to completion of the next update. USA Games Web Site As mentioned before the USA Games web site http://www.usagames.us is undergoing a major upgrade. It is not certain when the new site is going to be launched, but we do intend to upgrade this month. Many of the new changes will include a slightly new look and feel to the web site. For those interested we have dropped the split frame view and have decided to switch to a more traditional table layout for our site navigation section. We feel not only is this a bit more accessible I am told the appearance of the site looks better by having two rows of organized links along the top and bottom of each page. In addition we will be adding more to our download center besides our own games. We will have links to download the latest Ubuntu Linux installation disks, links for other third party software, and we will eventually be putting up links to other places as well. This is likely to be an ongoing project through December, and probably on in 2007. However, when done USA Games will have more content, and be more than just a place holder for our games and projects. At this point we do not plan to discuss all the changes we will be doing to the site, but when it is launched we will certainly let you know.

[Audyssey] popomundo: help needed
Hey guys; I've registered on Popomundo about 6 or so weeks ago; can't remember wen I checked the entered popomundo thing. But there's one problem. The band that I'm in ran by Robert Kilner, is inactive. Robert is inactive, that is, who's my friend but he's not interested in playing or something. Do anyone on this list have open band invitations? I also need help getting my skills up from tarable. I figured they'd go up as you write more and things, but I guess not. Any help would be great.

Re: [Audyssey] USA Games Holiday News.
Hi Thomas, I haven't been on this list for long, nor developing accessible games all that long either, so I'm probably going to ask a really dumb question but here goes. Your Montezuma's Revenge sounds like a clone of the famous Parker Brother's game of the 80s. Did you have to get permission from Parker Brothers or did they put it in the public domain or what? Reading on your site, you acquired the rights to the game from Alchemy Game Works so did they have the rights. As a developer of commercial software I'm scared stiff that someone will come along and threaten me with legal action for copyright infringement. I think, under the ammendments to the copyright act here (UK) you can produce accessible versions without seeking permission of the copyright holder but this, of course, applies only for personal use and not for commercial products.

Re: [Audyssey] USA Games Holiday News.
Hi Steve, Montezuma's Revenge is indeed a accessible remake of the old Atari classic side-scroller. I'm not exactly sure where I stand legally as for as copyrights go, but Alchemy was in development of the game before I acquired it and took over development. When I said I had acquired the rights that meant that Alchemy Games would revoke any future sales of the product, turn over all source and sound effects, and of course the customers. As far as being worried of copyrights I put that down to a personal decision as to how closely you wish to follow the copyright laws to the letter. PCS Games for example has successfully written and marketed Packman Talks without any word from the copyright holders of the game. GMA Games has produced Trek 2000 and Trek 99 without a word from Paramount. PCS Games is in development of Sarah which is a Harry Potter spin off, and so far no word from the copyright holder's legal staff. I myself have been in production of Final conflict for two years, and a demo has been on site for equally that long and no word from Paramount. I don't think it is that the companies do not care, but they don't wish to go after small fries like you and me. Paramount would gladly go after Fox, Lucasfilm, or someone like that for using Star Trek, but for some blind dev writing a game and giving it away or scraping up a few peanuts for it it's in the long term not worth their time to worry about it. Another textbook example of what I mean is take the game Asteroids. The game came out in 1979, and eventually Activision got the rights to the game, and have released Asteroids games for PC, consoles, etc. Yet, you can look just about anywhere and find free Asteroids games which are direct copies of the Asteroid games which are rewrites with this or that added. I can think of three or four for Linux such as: SDL Roids, Vectoroids, Asteroids 3D,, Mailstrem, and so on. The Linux KDE desktop ships with a sweet of games, and one of those is KPackman. As it happens the game is open source, but is also sold as a part of many Linux operating systems. No one has taken them to task for adding Asteroids 3D or KPackman to their list of games, and Linux KPackman and Asteroids have allot more users than the entire known blind gaming comunity.

Re: [Audyssey] Gaming on Windows Vista?
Hi, short answer is because it is Microsoft. They need a good reason to have everyone pay for an upgrade and get features they probably don't need or want. If you stick with XP and get SP3 which is f ree Microsoft isn't getting any money out of that. Therefore Vista is what you will end up buying and paying through the nose for. shaun everiss wrote: This ofcause puts the question why ms is releasing vista at all when there are 2 more or at least 1 definate service pack of xp coming.

Hey Ronald For one thing I'd ask you attempt to put the text of your message in the main body of your email rather then in the subject line. It's simple, tab over once more and write away. The links on Dragon Slayer games should be easy enough, there should be a download link on any given page.

Hello. Once your on the page for the respective game, (dragon warrior for example), there should be several Download links at the Bottom. Pressing enter or double clicking on these should start the files downloading, assuming you haven't done anything like disallowing files to download in internet explorer.. If pressing enter doesn't work, you could always try pressing the properties key (bottom right of the keyboard next to right control), the right mouse button or iquivolent then selecting save targit from the list. Btw, I'm afraid I found your question extremely difficult to read sinse it was written entirely in the subject field of the E-mail, and only part of that field is readable at a time. writing your questions here, in the message field of the e-mail makes them a good deal easier to read and, so easier to reply to.
