Re: [Audyssey] Maniac Mansion?

2008-07-14 Thread Jason Allen
Maniac Mansion was one of my favorite games as a kid. I completed the game
every way imaginable (it had numerous endings) and even managed to complete
it with Dave dead which Dr. Fred commented, "Sorry about your boyfriend" at
the end. The green tentacle wanted to be a rock star and the purple one was
evil. This relationship was the basis for the sequel "Day of the Tentacle"
which was a powerful successor to Maniac Mansion.

I could definitely program it, but I'm waist deep in an accessible RPG I've
been writing over the last few months. I'll pipe up again when it's closer
to completion and I need a new project.

The est part was deending on who you had in your party and what they did the

Yeah, we'd need voice actors. We could use Sapi for the menus and things 
though. As for MM, I myself never actually played the game since it wasn't 
as accessible, but I remember my brother and sister played it a lot when my 
brother borrowed it from his girlfriend. It was a lot of fun since while you 
were solving all the uzzles you also had to watch out for Edna Edison, the 
lady of the house. She'd throw you in the dungeon if she caught you, and 
while you could get out it was sometimes tricky. But I liked how the 
difficulty or ease of the game varied depending on who you had in your 
party.

[Audyssey] Maniac Mansion?

2008-07-14 Thread Bryan Peterson
Hi all,
  Over the past few days I've been browsing Wikipedia looking at their info on 
old NES games I used to play or watch my siblings play. There are quite a few 
games that I'd forgotten about but was reminded of during my search for others. 
One such game was Maniac Mansion, developed by Lucas Arts originally for the 
computer but later ported to such systems as the old NES. Just a little while 
ago I got to thinking about how easy or hard it would be to create a game like 
that for the blind gaming market. Technically it might be fairly easy since it 
uses a point and click, menu-based style of gameplay like in the Bavisoft 
games. You click a verb and then an object or person. You might have the usual 
verbs like take, use, talk to and stuff like that. So you'd click, let's say 
Use Toilet. If you made a logical combination you would perform the action.
  But Maniac Mansion was very much a humorous title. The premise was that a mad 
scientist, Fred Edison, lived in a mansion with his wife Edna and his son Ed. 
Twenty years ago a sentient, alien meteor crashed near his house and took 
control of his mind. It decided to use Fred to invent a machine to steal the 
brains of the young people of Earth. That's where you came in. You played as 
Dave, a college kid out to rescue his girlfriend Sandy from the Edisons' 
mansion. But you couldn't do italone, so you enlisted the aid of two other 
friends, whom you'd choose from a roster of six at the start of the game. Each 
characer had his/her own strengths, weaknesses and even their own plot, which 
made the replay value of the game extremely high. On your quest you could meet 
all the whacky characters who called the mansion home. It was extremely puzzle 
oriented but at the same time there was all kinds of weird stuff you could do 
just for fun. One infamous thing was the ability to steal the hamster belonging 
to Ed and microwave it. ou could then give it to him. Of course since he would 
ultimately prove to be your best hope for completing the game, you probably 
wouldn't want to do that. Personally I liked the idea of playing doorbell 
ditchers with him.
  But I got to thinking that it'd be neat if someone decided to create a game 
similar to Maniac Mansion. We've got plenty of the Interactive Fiction style of 
game, which certainly seems to fit what Maniac Mansion is, but nothing quite so 
enjoyable. So I thought I'd start this thread and see who all remembers that 
game and what the general feeling would be about an audio game in tat same 
style.

[Audyssey] top speed 2 community?

2008-07-14 Thread Shane Davidson
Hello all,
I don't post here much, but I do read each and every message that comes across 
the list, but due to the mass amount of mail I get i can't get around to 
writing much.
Anyhow, onto the content of my message.
I have gotten back into top speed 2, but i can't find the documentation to 
create cars and tracks, and the community at:
http://community.playinginthedark.net

doesn't seem to be around anymore, and that's where i got a lot of my cars, 
tracks, and other documentation to create the cars and tracks.
Does anyone have or know where i can obtain the information I need to create 
cars and tracks, and where i can get more cars and tracks for topspeed2?
thanks for any assistants that can be offered.
sincerely,
Shane Davidson

Hi Bryan,
well, yes and no. 7500 seams like a lot, but before i invested in some 
top of the line armer I had 55000 in gold I didn't know what to do with. 
so as a part of that sum of gold I purchased the Hale blade to try it out.
In terms of weapons the Hale blade's healing properties have been very 
helpful. It does make up somewhat for what it lacks in mr.

You can purchase the Hale Blade from a shop called Bryniver's in

Hi John,
I just did some checking around, and unfortunately your information is 
correct. The guy who created FS Navigator has gone out of business, and 
no one is selling it any more. Unfortunately, it was really the only way 
to make FS 2002/2004 accessible with a screen reader. This news truly 
truly sucks, but not surprising.

[Audyssey] New Here

2008-07-14 Thread Ruairí Óg Ó Brádaigh
Hi all:

My name is Ruairí, but as many people do not have the ability, or the
know-how to use, special characters, it is fine to call me Ruairi or
Rory.

I am a 28-year-old mail from the beautiful town of Longford Ireland.
I love all types of games, especially RPGs, simulation games, action
adventure games and games that have things I can shoot!

In addition to that, I am an avid reader, music
player/writer/listener, dog trainer, service dog user and employee of
a political party.

I hope I can learn more about the games I am already playing, and of
course, find new games to try out.  If anyone would like to contact me
offlist for any reason, you may do so at:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
or, on yahoo messenger at:
irishrebelrory.

I look forward to getting to know all of you.

Re: [Audyssey] sryth and the hale blaid

2008-07-14 Thread Justin Ekis
The price isn't so bad, I didn't need goblindoom any longer so that's 3500 
right there. Add that to  what you get for the cup and you're more than half 
way there. Very worth it in my oppinion. I'm looking for something better 
now though. My MR has been stuck at 67 for a long time. It's served me quite 
well but things are getting a little sticky now. I've been quite glad for 
the quickstone each day for a while. Any ideas? I missed my chance in 
Durnsig, got something else instead.

[Audyssey] Puppy1

2008-07-14 Thread Jim Kitchen
Hi,

I have put Puppy1 version 2 up on my site.

File name winpup2.exe  File size 2.3 meg.

In version 2 I added adjustable wind volume, the space bar does the same as the 
right control key, more scoring information, exit information and a speaker 
check.  I also fixed the out of range error as well as the menu and 
instructions delays and more.

The file can be found on my free windows sapi5 text to speech games page.
