Re: How were you introduced to audiogames?
I was introduced to audio games 30 years ago whilst undertaking a course. "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" was written for Dos but I didn't get very far with it. Then, towards the end of that year, a former friend introduced me to games on his Eureka A4 notetaker. Out of the games I played on that machine, "Aliens" was my favourite. I tried a few games on my Voicenote mPower in 2005, but I didn't really enjoy them much as I'm not really into text adventures. 2 of my favourite genres are arcade and space invaders titles. I purchased my first Windows machine in 2007, and shortly afterwards, became aware of the www.whitestick.co.uk site. Like Dark, I had never installed a program before. The first game I tried on that machine was Jim Kitchen's "Battleship", followed by "Spank Her", his version of "Simon" and Aristides Mytaras's "Sonic Invaders". I literally played that game for hours. Then, in 2008, I started purchasing games, my first being "Pacman Talks", shortly followed by both Troopanum titles, "Alien Outback", both of the "Pipe" games, all the Pinball titles, "Super Liam" and "Judgment Day". "Super Deekout", "Bopit ultimate" and "Light Cars" were also 3 games I enjoyed playing at that time. In 2011, I made the move from Windows to Mac and felt lost as there were hardly any Mac titles available. However, I had my first iPhone at that time and was enjoying games for IOS. The first game I played on the Mac was "Change Reaction", when it was released, shortly followed by "Silver Dollar", and then RS Games a few months later. Like a previous poster, I am hardly active on there these days. I also played on the Playroom using Safari, but haven't played over there for around 7 years now. In 2017, I purchased a Windows 10 machine, which I mainly use for gaming, as the Mac is now my preferred platform, but I discovered some games I had missed out on, such as "World of War", "Marina Break", "Screaming Strike" and a lot of Oriel Gomez's Windows titles. I am appreciative that some developers are making their games cross-platform, and even though they don't all appeal to me, I really enjoy the Mac versions of such games as "Beatstar", "Onslaught", "Crime Hunter", "Dark Defender" and "The Great Toy Robbery". I am especially looking forward to the mac version of "Blind Drive", and, hopefully, "Endless Runner". I look at things this way: I have the best of both: I enjoy Windows games on my Windows machine and Mac games on my Mac.
