Re: [Audyssey] Lone Wolf the best game!
HI Tom! I made that comment to get a response mainly from Charlie Tuna. There are many fine games out here. I have never lost my interest in Lone Wolf and I just don't have much time to play it or make missions. I only have 4 major games: Lone wolf, Tank Commander and Shades of doomb and I can't think of the name of the other it has been so long. I need to down load your sample games for I hear they are very good games. My problem is time. I would like to learn how to program, but I would need to take classes to learn properly, I think. I think I would be a good programmer for my mind never lets up on problems once I start on one. I see that in you as well for your mind is always working. I just wish I knew what you knew.

Re: [Audyssey] Lone Wolf the best game!
Hi Branav! I am anxious for the new version of Lone Wolf, also. I haven't talked with David for a long time. But, the last time we talked he said he was about one third of the way in its programming. It takes a great deal of his time. He is programming from bottom up for he is not able to add all the new features everybody wants with the old version. It just was not designed for all these uptdates. But, knowing David it will be an excellent game when it is done. I would like to rent his engine to design games. The reason I said I may need classes to learn programming is I may need to know more about the computer and my questions could be answered in a class. Tom gave me a couple web sites to checkout for programming books that I could download and study. I have heard that jaws can be a problem with some of the programming languages. My vision is not as good as it was a couple of years ago and I have to be more reliant on the jaws program than I was before.

[Audyssey] jaws lone wolf problems
I need some one's help! I set up a pentium 2 computer with windows 98 version 1 and put jaws 4, 4.5 and jaws 5.1 on the computer. Then I down loaded lone wolf 3.5 from David's web site and unzipped it and ran it with jaws 4.0, 4.5 and finally jaws 5.1 and jaws will not talk with lone wolf.

Re: [Audyssey] Side-scroller consessions.
Hi Tom! I am sorry to hear the grief that you have been put through. I am not a programmer but I would like to be one some day. I have had some criticism on the lone wolf missions I have done but that is nothing to the kind of work and knowledge required to do what you have done. I am interested in the engine you have designed in making games and would like to have your phone numbaer to talk to you about your engine and what I may need to know to design games. I will put my email address below even though I know it is in the lisst record. PS The Lord is still on the throne and prayer changes things. Blessings and Regards! - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Friday, March 21, 2008 1:54 PM Subject: [Audyssey] Side-scroller consessions. Hello gamers, In light of the several emails on and off list to me about my decision to create a 3D FPS game verses a side-scroller I feel I have no choice but to do as everyone asks. For those gamers bound and determined to have a side-scroller do or die what I will do is go back to James North's original plans and put out some kind of game along the Montezuma's Revenge lines. I will restore Arizona Smith to the game, and do whatever it takes to just get the fricking game completed and out of my life. Since you want the game James North was creating you will get it just as James had planned it. No more no less. As for those interested in the 3D FPS version of Mysteries Of the Aztecs I am still interested in creating this game, but obviously I will put it in the things to do pile down the road. Finally, I have one last thing to say to this community before I sign off. I am really disappointed in those of you who have made such a fuss and an issue over this. I try very hard to produce good and high quality games. I even want to go above and beyond the norm by trying things that have never been done before by an accessible game developer. All I get in return is a lot of grief and misery for my effort. From this time forward I will complete your games you got from James North as advertised, but it comes at a price. Before today I use to take polls, gather suggestions from end users, and use to gather your ideas to put into my games. I was always very open about my thoughts, plans, ideas, etc. However, that has been shattered. From now on when I create games I plan to be more or less quiet about my plans, new game ideas, and end user suggestions will be selectively used at my descression. I see now running polls like the one about weather to make a FPS or a side-scroller was a horrible mistake as it is being used to force me to do something I really do not want to do. If it was the poll alone i wouldn't mind so much, but since the majority of those were paid customers I am between the rock and the hard place. Neither option is exactly a great place to be from where I sit, but your demands to force me into this decision only makes it harder to enjoy making accessible games. I can tell you right now I will create the side-scroller, but the next few months are going to be purgatory, slavery, whatever you want to call it. Being the victem of this communities backlash I can tell you why James North became dispondant and left this community in the manner he did. All we developers hear is give me, give me, give me, I want, I want, I want, regardless of how the developer feels or thinks about the matter. Apparently developers aren't allowed to have lives or desires of their own and must soully entertain the blind gamers out there for their every whim. If I ever create a game for this community after these two games are completed you will be pretty darn lucky. i am sick of the stress and grief you put me through. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Lone Wolf missions
Hi Raul! Yes, I have all the missions. David is in the process of adding the other missions to the gam list. The reason why it has taken so long is the gam engine is designed to allow only 99 user made missions. The others I have I had numbered 99a, 99b , 99c and so on but we are not going to use that idea. We are going to start the next batch of missions from 1 through 99. I will send yu the other missions in the next day or 2. But, they will be numbered 1 and upward so you will have to make another lone wolf folder and place the new user made missions in that folder. I have 3 lone wolf folders. I just made copies of the original. I discovered that you have to start with number 1 in the folder for if you don't the game will lock up. You cannot start with 2 or upward.

[Audyssey] vista question
Hi Tom! Do you have an A drive or 3.5 disk drive in your computer? If, you do did you know that you should be able to make a dos boot up disk which you could boot up your computer in dos mode without any vista systems in memory, etc. A friend of mine has vista and the ability to make a dos disk but he does not have a 3.5 drive to make one. So, I am assuming that a person could make a dos boot up disk if they had a 3.5 disk drive installed in their vista computer. I discovered that with x p home I could make a dos boot up disk then boot up the computer off the A drive to run some of my dos programs instead of trying to run off windows dos. I have been told so many times that a person could not run dos with a computer with x p home on the computer. But, when a person boots up in dos with a disk made from x p home or any fairly recent dos boot up disk like from windows 98 boot up dos disk there is no problem.

Great! David needs some encouragement and a meteorite landing on his Greenwood Mansion might be just the ticket for a new space game that is 3d. if, one could fly under or over a enemy ship he could shoot from that position.

I want to try out Sarah; it sounds as if it's a nice game but I want to make certain of a few things. My sister-in-law told me that a friend of her had a traumatic case with her little girl watching Harry potter movies. She watched them over and over again. My sister-in-law told me that the names of Harry's friends are really the names of demons. This girl was terrorized by demons when she watched the movies. She couldn't sleep at night. When psychologists tried to find out what was keeping her awake they discovered that it's the movies. Now I want to know: how serious does Sarah go into the Harry potter story? Did Phil put the real sounds of demons into his game? I'm very afraid of demons; I heard many people say that the sounds of demons are very very scary. I would just like to know if the game contains any real demon sounds; specifically demon sounds. What I mean with this is: did phil made contact with demons and then they made sounds over his microphone and then he recorded it? In other words, did phil get in contact with demons so that the demons themselves do the sound effects for sarah? Because my sister-in-law explicitly warned me against any Harry potter, she said I would get in touch with demons if I play or listen to any Harry potter. But I need to make the decision myself. She says that the movies by which the child was terrorized at night was more specifically harry2. The second part of Harry's story but she warned me against all harry potter.

This great game has not even been out for a week and already there are several messages from people asking how to get trophies, how to unlock stuff, how to do this, that, or the other. As Liam stated in an earlier message, part of the replay value is in discovering the creative ways to unlock bonus games, get trophies, more movies, etc. If the people who have done this were to give out all the information then what replay value would this game have?

Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
I lost the web site for audio game maker. Can some one give me the address. I wanted to get their manual to study. Thanks! - Original Message - From: AudioGames.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Tuesday, December 05, 2006 5:39 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek Hi, *quote* I've been reading the audio game maker documentation and am extremely impressed *quote end* Thanks ;) *quote* First, is there a way to create a useable inventory of items which a player could switch betwene? these could be different weapons and armour to equip, different spells with different hit radius and amo requirements aka magic points, keys, or healing potions or other replenishment items. If I haven't miss understood some of the item properties, it also appears you could use an inventory function in a vehicle based game to equip different parts to your vehicle to increase it's speed handling or offencive capabilities. *quote end* Yes, items mostly contain properties related to weaponry/healing. So you can use it to create a magic sword, healing potions, key to open a certain door. But, items can also change certain properties of the avatar (whether this is the speed of a walking character or a massive tank). Please see: http://www.audiogamemaker.com/manual/item/item_properties.html (item properties) http://www.audiogamemaker.com/manual/item/item_reactions.html (item reactions) *quote* also, is it possible to set enemy resistance to particular items? such as certain creatures needing to be attacked by a specific item in order to be defeated? second, is there a way of creating player items that would allow attacks at a specific rate, ega chargeable sword swing which would do more damage? *quote end* Mmm let me think about that. I guess that this functionality (resistance against some but not all items) is not in Audio Game Maker. But I guess that with a work around, you might be able to create more or less the same functionality. An option is to maybe use a timer to always gradually increases the opponents health to a certain maximum. Then give the player several weapons that do little damage, and give him one weapon that does do a lot of damage, meaning that this weapon must be used for this particular monster. And after the player succeeds, remove the weapon to avoid that the player uses this against other enemies. Another option might be, that when a player makes an attack with a certain weapon, you might be able to connect it to a trigger, which in turn adds more damage to the opponent. This just from the top of my head... I'm not saying it is possible, I'm saying it might be possible with a work around. Many things will be possible with Audio Game Maker, but you need to be able to think of creative solutions ;) *quote* I think these are the only two things i can see that would be needed to create an action/rpg game akin to Zelda or secret of Mana, (I'm truly impressed by the ally status option), sinse everything else that I can think of is most deffinately there! *quote end* I can see where this particular functionality might be important. I'll discuss it with the programmer and maybe there's a way we can still implement this directly. Otherwise we'll put it on the wish list. Thanks for the suggestion... *quote* i was also wondering if there was any function in the game to create menues at specifictimes and locations. These could be used for all sorts of things, from choosing the world (useful in a vehicle based game for selecting paths or race courses), to choosing what you say to another charactor in an action or rpg game, with associated sound files (and maybe recieving different items as well), attached to each choice, it might also be possible to use a menue system to create turn based combat, by having menue choices attached to reduction in various charactors or opponent's stats, use of items etc (though obviously this would be more complicated to impliment. *quote end* Yes, you can (but again, this is simply just one way). There is not a Menu Building Block so you need to build something yourself. Each menu could perhaps be a world consisting of a ?x1 grid. Each cell would contain a sound source that can only be heard when the avatar collides with the sound source by moving from cell to cell. Then you can attach a portal to it to create some sort of interaction, so that when the player hits a button on a certain cell, he/she is transported to another world using the portal. In this case, the new world could also be a menu world. But maybe it's easier to use multiple Message blocks in one world... I guess there are multiple ways to getting the same result :) *quote* Well, i can't wait to see what happens when the audio game maker is released, *quote end* Me too ;) *quote* and what extra

Re: [Audyssey] Game programming education project.

Blessings! - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Sunday, October 29, 2006 1:19 PM Subject: [Audyssey] Game programming education project. Hi all, In the interest of everyone who wants to begin learning how to program accessible games I will be launching the USA Games game programming education project. What I plan to do is write an accessible version of Asteroids complete with saving and restoring games, standard and arcade style play, sound, music, etc... Once written I will be able to post the full source code and release versions for download. The source version will eventually include documentation explaining the audio class and it's use with Microsoft DirectSound. Another tutorial might cover working with Visual Studio Express 2005, and another might discuss saving and restoring games, etc. I don't plan for all of this suddenly to appear, of course, but if I put some time to it each week those of you out there will not only have a free game, but one with a full source written in C#.NET which will give you something to look at and to practice your programming skills with. The main reason I have decided to do this is I would like the community at large to have not only accessible games, but high quality accessible games. Most new programmers don't know how to do that. For instance, most programming books won't tell you how to save and restore a game, and you have to compile the information from two or more sources, and understand serializing an object. With a sample right in front of you it becomes pretty clear how it is done without all the explanations how it works just that it does work. Which is what we all want. Not only that there is always some trig equations needed to calculate the distance between objects, directions, and updating there location. Well, naturally I will be including them, and I will keep things at the Algebra/Trig level and won't put to much on you newbies by making everything 3D with vectors, and all that. Anyway, if you guys think this will help the community add new programmers to the rank, and help you guys learn I will be happy to donate time in the future to this end ever.

Thank You! - Original Message - From: Allan Thompson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Saturday, September 23, 2006 10:19 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Updated draft of ships. Hi Guys, I don't know if anyone else had played this game, but I had played a space sim called descent: freespace. You played a spacefighter pilot assigned with a carrier, and you had to defend against an incoming alien race. Each mission gave a briefing, and you then choose ship to take, which ranged from bombers, fighters, and others, and you also choose weapon loadout for each mission had diffrent parameters for success. As the player, you had a list of menu options which consisted of running one or more squadrons under your command. the options consisted of things like: attack who you are targeted on, attack at will, attack weakest ship, attack ship attacvking you, retreat, and some others. The point I was getting to was the resupply ship. In the middle of a mission, you could request for resupply. This was always an interesting time. You generally wanted to call it between waves of enemies, during a lull, and sometimes you just needed to resupply to get to the next part of the same mission. It would take a certain amount of time to get to you, depending on how far away from base or the carrier you were, and when it showed up, the player had to come to a full stop and let the resupply attach and transfer fuel and weapons and even fix some minor damage. Sometimes this ship would get destroyed in combat if you got attacked unexpectedly and a new resupply ship usually wasn't available after that event. I guess the point I am trying to say is that a resupply ship in the middle of a mission wouldn't be to hard to imagine, especially in an example like this: You are defending an important corridor of space, when you detect the oncoming advance of an enemy fleet. You call for back up, and offensive ships are coming, but all you got is a starbase and a supply ship to keep you supplied until cavalry comes. To resupply, you might have to come to a full stop and tractor the resupply ship, and start transporting goods over. One might have to drop shields as well to do this. Once resupplied, the battle could continue, that is, if the player managed to create a lull and resupply before the next wave of the enemy. How does this sound? The truth will set you free...

Hi Guys, I don't know if anyone else had played this game, but I had played a space sim called descent: freespace. You played a spacefighter pilot assigned with a carrier, and you had to defend against an incoming alien race. Each mission gave a briefing, and you then choose ship to take, which ranged from bombers, fighters, and others, and you also choose weapon loadout for each mission had diffrent parameters for success. As the player, you had a list of menu options which consisted of running one or more squadrons under your command. the options consisted of things like: attack who you are targeted on, attack at will, attack weakest ship, attack ship attacvking you, retreat, and some others. The point I was getting to was the resupply ship. In the middle of a mission, you could request for resupply. This was always an interesting time. You generally wanted to call it between waves of enemies, during a lull, and sometimes you just needed to resupply to get to the next part of the same mission. It would take a certain amount of time to get to you, depending on how far away from base or the carrier you were, and when it showed up, the player had to come to a full stop and let the resupply attach and transfer fuel and weapons and even fix some minor damage. Sometimes this ship would get destroyed in combat if you got attacked unexpectedly and a new resupply ship usually wasn't available after that event. I guess the point I am trying to say is that a resupply ship in the middle of a mission wouldn't be to hard to imagine, especially in an example like this: You are defending an important corridor of space, when you detect the oncoming advance of an enemy fleet. You call for back up, and offensive ships are coming, but all you got is a starbase and a supply ship to keep you supplied until cavalry comes. To resupply, you might have to come to a full stop and tractor the resupply ship, and start transporting goods over. One might have to drop shields as well to do this. Once resupplied, the battle could continue, that is, if the player managed to create a lull and resupply before the next wave of the enemy. How does this sound? The truth will set you free...

In a ww2 submarine game, i think it was called Wolf Pack, you commanded one submarine, on an attack mission against an enemy convoy. Now you could do a solo attack or you could trail the convoy and bring in i think it was 3 or 5 additional ships. Then you would order all of them to go in and attack and you would as well, my thinking is you could still have the advantage of fleet command even in realtime. And when one of your subs was destroyed, mine usually went first, you would shift to the second sub, then the third, and so forth until you were either successful or dead. Just a thought.

Over on the audyssey list Nicol was making a suggestion of making Trek 2000 real time. I'm wondering since I have to rewrite anyway how would you all feel if I just rewrote STFC as a real time game? If we stick with the same old turn based game it will be basicly the same only better than before. If we go to real time the game could be more like Lonewolf consisting of missions you would have to cary out against the Romulans, Breen, Klingons, Borg, Breen, etc... Since it is in real time you would have to play one ship and stick with it. However, I can imagine how fun it would to be say the Defiant and cloak and and attack various targets deep behind enemy lines, or you could be the Enterprise patroling the Romulan Neutral zone when you are jumped by the Romulans.

There are Guild Member and free adventures. The Guild member adventures are different adventures that can only played by Guild Members. The free adventures can be played by everyone. As to your second question not all of the adventures can be discovered by simply playing the game in an area. Once you have completed all the miner adventures in an area, for example helping the preast a the church, you can then look at what other adventures are available for that area. These tend to be major adventures which are much more dificult to complete. Here is an example of how you might play Hawklor. You start out with the miner adventures of helping the priest at the church rescue his friends. You then get hired to guard the salesman. You then win the flask in the Stoneback In or whatever it is called. After that let's assume you have completed all the miner adventures for that area. Now, you are ready to take on the major adventure for that area. During your miner adventures you probably heard about the Goblin army forming at the Caves at Westwold. By going to other adventures for this area while in Hawkllor you can then take on the Goblin's of Westwold, kill Blalak, and win the first major adventure for the area. Of course, you don't have to do this stuff in any real order. For example, at first I traveled around and did several miner adventures in all the towns got my skills up, and then started in to the major adventures. Hth.

Re: [Audyssey] Game development was intro
Hi Tom! I have been listening to this conversation and I find it very interesting. I have thought about taking computer science and your explanation has greatly encouraged me. Thanks! - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Monday, September 04, 2006 12:42 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Game development was intro Hi Damien, I'm probably getting a tad bit off topic from game development, but I feel this is an important point. Are you aware of the different levels of programming languages? In computer science we place all programming languages in one of three catagories: low level, intermediate level, and high level. Which ranks them not only by complexity but design and function. An example of a low level programming language is assembly. It is perhaps one of the most complex languages to know and learn, but is at the very core of operating systems, and is extremely powerful in it's relm of low level operations such as system drivers, kernels, etc... However, C and it's sister language C++ also can be used to write low level code and do low level operations. C is at the very core of Linux which is what the Linux kernel is written in. Then, we have the intermediate level languages. I would say the majority of C++ applications fall in the relm of intermediate level. It's not as complex as assembly but light years more powerful and complicated than VB. Finally, you come to the high level languages. Languages like VB, C#.NET, Java, fall in the high level catagory. They are much easier to learn then lower level languages, and high level operations such as a notepad program, scripting a web page, calculating a few numbers, an audio game, etc... The languages can't do low level stuff, but are easy to learn and very effective at what they do in their high level operations. My point in saying all this is when you call C++ a proper programming language, it is the understatement of the century. C++ happens to be able to be used in high level operations suchas C++.NET all the way down to low level operations like kernels, drivers, and run operating systems. Everyday devices such as cell phones, MP3 walkmans, cash registers, etc are written with C++ driving the operating systems for those devices. Simbian OS which comes on most cell phones was written in C++. So let's give C++ the title it deserves as the language of languages. It is perhaps the most flexable and powerful commonly used programming language known to man. x-sight interactive wrote: autoit is a language that is, i must admit, very limited. when making a game with autoit you have to use a COM object called comaudio, which is just as limited. it uses audiere, another limited library, to perform tasks. the only real difference between comaudio and directx is that comaudio can play encrypted and compressed sound archive files. that's really the only reason i use it, because i wouldn't know where to start with making a sound encryption algorithm and having to decrypt it for dx to play. yes, autoit is very small. vb6 is somewhat more complicated and that's what i started off with - big mistake, as there was no internal documentation, i didn't know a thing about it, and all i got were exercises to copy, not knowing how they worked or what they meant, or even what the point was of these programs. c++ is a lot more complicated, some people call it a proper language, because of the fact that you have to tell it exactly what you want it to do, where as vb and autoit use in-built functions to do all that for you. i still don't understand vb6 now, which is why i jumped straight over to c++. another c-like language you may or may not want to start off with is gentee. don't know much about that, reading docs on it at the moment, but i'm using that as a transitional language to help me understand c more. hth. regards, damien ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Hi all, I guess this question would probably be better for Jim, but has anyone else noticed that the computer player makes huge purchasing mistakes and doesn't know how to play Monopoly properly? For example the computer player will land on an expensive green property but have $11 in cash. It will decide to purchase the property anyway and morgadge everything to get it. Yeah, that is legal for the game, but is usually a risky move that will end the player in losing the game soon. I suppose it would be ok for the computer to try it for absolutely necessary properties, but I notice it does it over and over again until it runs out of money and commits financial suicide. Another mistake I saw was when the computer player decided to unmorgadge something it started automaticly with the most expensive properties. Duh, if you are trying to get some houses up unmorgadge the less expensive properties, and get some houses on them, and once they bring in some cash then unmorgadge the moreexpensive properties and build on them. In short I hate to be critical, but the computer player for Monopoly 6 doesn't have a head for business at all. I can see several moves ahead and see when the computer player is making massive blunders and this or that is going to end up in the computer losing. When the computer player makes such blunders I am master enough of computer and board based monopoly to capatilise on the computer's blunders and make huge proffets etc usually killing the computer even faster yet. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] Text based games
Hi Trouble! Oh, the other thing I forgot to mention is when I think of a double boot I am thinking of partitioning the drive in 2 parts. For example partition A would have windows, and windows based games and partition B would have dos and dos games on it. I think that wold work with no problem unless the speed of the computers today are too fast for dos. I don't know the specifics of dos.

In addition, you can download the twenty two books and play them off line, or play them on line thru the site. My problem is that the combat system involves a chart that where you compare a random generated number which then gives the result of a single round of combat. The damage is done simultaneously and is unique. Brandon had told me about some tolls that can be downloaded that calculates the battle as well as keep track of equipment and other things. but so far I am not doing too well with it.

Re: [Audyssey] Text based games
Hi Ari! Office Depot carries windows 98. I bought one there about six months ago. I have also seen windows 98 in used computer stores. Later And Blessings - Original Message - From: ari [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list Gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Sunday, July 23, 2006 12:23 PM Subject: [Audyssey] Text based games Hello everyone, In this email I'm first asking for advice, then I'd like you guy's feedback on a suggestion. First, I'd like to tell you guys my background with text adventures. When I was at school, the teacher had a disk with text adventure games like Zork, Gymad, Under the Ice, etc. The screen reader that was used was Window Bridge, which could also be used as a dos screen reader. You would go to Windows Explorer, press enter on the .exe file of the game, and Window Bridge would start reading it to you. Now, however, new windows systems don't even have any form of DOS, and this makes me worried, because, for me, text based games are a very important part of the history and culture of games for the blind. My worry is that with the non-existance of dos, these games will disappear, be hard to find, etc. I want to do two things, but I please need answers: 1. For my own enjoyment, I want to somehow be able to play the dos-based text adventure games. These games are of course stand-alone games, not games that used windows interpreters, but games that will iether run under old Windows versions through the ms-dos prompt, or through raw ms dos. What me and a sighted guy thought of, is if I make a partition on my hard drive, install plain dos, and use a screen reader like Jaws for Dos or Hal Lite, which are free. I want to know though, is their anywhere I can get DOS from? Also, since I've mainly used the windows environment, is their some kind of DOS tutorial available, sort of a beginners for DOS guide? I'm familiar with some dos commands, like how to move through directories and run programs, but don't know it too well. You might be wondering why I'm not installing an older version of Windows and running the games under the dos box? We were thinking about it, but we don't have a copy of Windows 95 or 98, and I don't think their is anyone who could sell us a copy. The next thing I want to ask is can you guys send me lists of sites which have text-based games on them for download. The idea is, with large hard drives, I will download, keep, and play as many of these hard-to-find games as I can, I will then, when I can have my own site one day, upload them to the site as a sort of huge library. My suggestion is about a text-based games club (like a book club!) What I'm suggesting is, it's fun, I remember from school, to solve a game with other people. What I suggest is a sort of club that would work like this: Once, say every two months, a person will suggest a game, which is freely downloadable. That person must tell all of us who want to take part, the link to the game. Everyone who wants to can play the game, and, without using the solution, we who struggle with problems in the game try and put our heads together and try and finish the game. We can do it by email on this list, or in a chat room while playing the game, but I think email will be best, since people first of all don't play the game at the same time, and time zones are also a problem. Talking about dos games, are the PCS games that were made for dos still available? If I can get a dos system set up, I'd really love to try them. You may wonder where this enthusiasm has come from, it came from me re-reading the first three issues of audyssey! I read about games like Fallthru, which I've never played, but would love to try!

It's great to hear that I have the choice of sending it back. Now all I need is something to help me learn chess. Jim suggests Recordings for the Blind, but that won't really help me since it is quite expensive (once I wanted to join, I heard that it was $76 a year or something). The other problem I have with Recordings for the Blind is that, even though I know they have a wide variety of books in many subjects, I've never really been able to find a list where I could sort of browse categories of books they have.
