Re: [Audyssey] history of Jim Kitchen's games?
well you can do it all from user accounts in control panel in user account control settings. I'd only do it if you were not on a shared system though as its an extra layer of security. A work around is for those programs that require it off you can right click the program and hit run as admin and it works. Its only an issue if something needs to access the system directly or if its an old program. My huge issue is in 8 and up you can't actually kill it fully unless you modify your registry to do so. And if you do then no metro apps for you either like windows store though if you use just your desktop apps its probably ok. Its why I still like and use 7.

Re: [Audyssey] history of Jim Kitchen's games?
Hi Josh, I started teaching myself the Basic programming language in 1980 on a Texas Instruments 99 4A- home computer. Next on an Atari 800 XL home computer, then an IBM PC Junior. I mostly wrote games with some simple graphics. By December of 1989 I no longer had any sight. I bought an N E C 286 running Jaws for dos version 1 with an Accent SA synthesizer. In January 1990 I was at the Cleveland Sight Center learning braille etc. So I wrote my braille reference guide program at that time. I was now programming in Quick Basic 4.5 which wrote directly to the screen, so the games were only accessible via Jaws for dos script files. Those games were on the Henter Joyce BBS in like 1991. Then I was told how to make Quick Basic 4.5 write to the bios and that made the games accessible for all dos screen readers, so I up loaded the games to the BBS PC Ohio, which was part of the planet connect system. So the games got distributed to BBSs all over the world. That was probably in 1992 or 3. Then Phil Vlasak showed me how to shell out and use an external program to play sound files. So now we added sounds to the dos games. Well they had the little beeps etc from the little PC speaker before that, but now we were playing actual sound files in the games. In 2000 David Greenwood got me started with Visual Basic. Trucker was the first game that I converted from dos to Windows. It put temporarily highlighted text on the screen. Really only worked with Jaws. Also used something simple to play a sound file. I next wrote games such as Mach 1, golf and casino using recorded synthesized speech and TegoSoft to play the sound files. In 2003 I started the winkit.zip thing with the game menu system using the sapi5 text to speech engine instead of recorded speech. About that time Allen Maynard shared some DirectX code with me which gave me even more features when playing sound files. Dan Zingaro shared code with me that told where at in the sound file you pressed a key. Th at was for the golf and baseball games. When the BBSs were replaced by the Internet David Poehlman put my games on his web site. Later I learned how to write my own web site from OSCAR SOSA's home page program. And of course Joshua Griffith has helped with VB6 code and maintaining my web site. Sorry if I forgot to mention others that have helped. I know that there were. There used to be a blind programmers list with lots of people who programmed in Visual Basic 6. And thinking back, can't forget Willie Wilson and his Blink Link BBS. That was the place to go for accessible games and other programs. There was also all of the FidoNet echoes for Email such as Blink Talk, Blind Talk and NFB Talk. Then the Blind X mailing list. They were general chat echoes, but accessible games were discussed allot on them. As far as I know, people are playing my games on M E, XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 8.1. You know as long as you install the Visual Basic 6 run time libraries. BFN Jim Check my web site for my 36 free games. j...@kitchensinc.net http://www.kitchensinc.net (440) 286-6920 Chardon Ohio USA - Original Message - Hi Jim or others who may know? Does anyone know what year and maybe the date Jim Kitchen came out with his first game probably for dos? The first game Jason introduced me to was pcs-games monopoly, followed by any night football and then the pcs games world series baseball game. and then the island of mystery adventure game. But right after that, we got immediately into Jim's games for dos. Every time I play Jim's games it brings back memories of growing up as a kid playing them. I hope someday they will all be recompiled for a later version of microsoft basic so future generations will be able to enjoy them after Jim is gone. Well I think I'll go to Jim's casino and play the craps or blackjack games right now.

Next on an Atari 800 XL home computer, then an IBM PC Junior. I mostly wrote games with some simple graphics. By December of 1989 I no longer had any sight. I bought an N E C 286 running Jaws for dos version 1 with an Accent SA synthesizer. In January 1990 I was at the Cleveland Sight Center learning braille etc. So I wrote my braille reference guide program at that time. I was now programming in Quick Basic 4.5 which wrote directly to the screen, so the games were only accessible via Jaws for dos script files. Those games were on the Henter Joyce BBS in like 1991. Then I was told how to make Quick Basic 4.5 write to the bios and that made the games accessible for all dos screen readers, so I up loaded the games to the BBS PC Ohio, which was part of the planet connect system. So the games got distributed to BBSs all over the world. That was probably in 1992 or 3. Then Phil Vlasak showed me how to shell out and use an external program to play sound files. So now we added sounds to the dos games. Well they had the little beeps etc from the little PC speaker before that, but now we were playing actual sound files in the games. In 2000 David Greenwood got me started with Visual Basic. Trucker was the first game that I converted from dos to Windows. It put temporarily highlighted text on the screen. Really only worked with Jaws. Also used something simple to play a sound file. I next wrote games such as Mach 1, golf and casino using recorded synthesized speech and TegoSoft to play the sound files. In 2003 I started the winkit.zip thing with the game menu system using the sapi5 text to speech engine instead of recorded speech. About that time Allen Maynard shared some DirectX code with me which gave me even more features when playing sound files. Dan Zingaro shared code with me that told where at in the sound file you pressed a key. That was for the golf and baseball games. When the BBSs were replaced by the Internet David Poehlman put my games on his web site. Later I learned how to write my own web site from OSCAR SOSA's home page program. And of course Joshua Griffith has helped with VB6 code and maintaining my web site. Sorry if I forgot to mention others that have helped. I know that there were. There used to be a blind programmers list with lots of people who programmed in Visual Basic 6. And thinking back, can't forget Willie Wilson and his Blink Link BBS. That was the place to go for accessible games and other programs. There was also all of the FidoNet echoes for Email such as Blink Talk, Blind Talk and NFB Talk. Then the Blind X mailing list. They were general chat echoes, but accessible games were discussed allot on them. As far as I know, people are playing my games on M E, XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 8.1. You know as long as you install the Visual Basic 6 run time libraries. BFN Jim Check my web site for my 36 free games. j...@kitchensinc.net http://www.kitchensinc.net (440) 286-6920 Chardon Ohio USA - Original Message - Hi Jim or others who may know? Does anyone know what year and maybe the date Jim Kitchen came out with his first game probably for dos? The first game Jason introduced me to was pcs-games monopoly, followed by any night football and then the pcs games world series baseball game. and then the island of mystery adventure game. But right after that, we got immediately into Jim's games for dos. Every time I play Jim's games it brings back memories of growing up as a kid playing them. I hope someday they will all be recompiled for a later version of microsoft basic so future generations will be able to enjoy them after Jim is gone.

Re: [Audyssey] history of Jim Kitchen's games?
Hello Ishan, You can easily add Jim's games to Dosbox as well as any other Dos games. Just unpack them and copy the games into Dosbox. You don't need Jim to do it for you. Cheers!
