[Audyssey] Introduction and Questions

2009-11-08 Thread Sharon Hooley
Hi!

My name is Sharon Hooley from Idaho.  I've enjoyed playing some of the 
accessible games.  I'm especially hooked on Crazy Tennis!  I like games that 
require actions and being able to tell where things are, but now I have the 
cochlear implant on one side, and a hearing aid on the other, so it's a bit of 
a challenge.

One game I enjoy is Descent into Madness, but I see a couple of problems.  At 
the beginning of the game, where the menu options are available, I can choose 
to quit.  But when I'm playing the game, I don't see that option and I have to 
force it down with the task manager.  the other problem is that when I try to 
save the game in a slot using myself on the journal, I get an error message, 
and it seems I have to start all over again.  Does anyone have a clue as to how 
to avoid these things?

thanks much!

Sharon

Hi Sharon.

Desent into madness is indeed fun, - but sadly I don't believe it was 
ever finished for %100. thus, there are stil known bugs such as those you 
identify yourself.


I've not heard of any fixes to the program unfortunately,  which is a 
shame (particularly about the saving issue).


As to other games, if you enjoy quick sterrio targiting and other exercises 
you could considder the games from bavisoft found at 
http://www.bavisoft.com/chillingham.htm


These are commercial, and only available on Cd, however they do have high 
quality sounds, and while they feature sterrio targiting it tends to be of 
the more general left right center sort, rather than the more complex sort 
which may be problematic with your hearing issues.


Also, note that you can find out a lot about games at www.audiogames.net, 
which has a database covering hundreds of games, with descriptions, download 
links and other resources.


Hth.

Beware the grue!

Dark.

HI,
Hmmm...I've noticed those same problems. Unfortunately I cannot help you,
though it is a great game.
