Hi Thomas,
Yeah, I don't believe that I ever played a text adventure game back when I had
sight. I played games on my Atari 2600 and Atari 800 XL home computer. And
games that I wrote like my casino games, Star Mule etc. But back then I also
was not yet connected to a BBS or the Internet.
Hi Jim,
Yeah, I don't believe I played many text games when I could see
either. When I could see I had an Atari 2600, an Atari 7800, a
Nintendo Entertainment System, and so on so played most of the classic
arcade games available for those consoles.
It was only in the 90's when I began to have dif
Hi all,
I have a windows 8 pc and it got infected. Windows defender didn't detect the
virus, so I had to reformat, and I got a replacement product key for VipMud
last week by email, and I lost it. How do people suggest I store product keys
in the future?

Hi Lindsay,
The best way to save your keys is to back them up on some sort of
external media. These days thumb drives, flash cards, etc are
relatively in expensive. Depending on where I go I can get a cheap 8
GB flash card for like $10 which is pretty cheap. That's assuming you
have a flash card
Windows defender is good for spyware, but its no anti virus. You
should get something like MSE from Microsoft, its free and does work
better than most of the unaccessible paid ones do.
Flash drives are good for personal stuff. You can keep them safe,
only connect them when needed and can take th

Do audio games such as shades of doom, swamp, and road to rage work good
if I installed them in a copy of windows that is running in a virtual
machine inside of vmware player? or do audio games have to be running on
the host operating system to work propperly?

Don't see why not but I would recommend setting some additional memory aside.

Is it possible to throw your key on a external hard drive or on a rewritable
cd-rom disk?
I have all of my keys on a external hard drive.
Hope this helps.

Getting back on topic, I keep game registration information in braille. Hard
copy braille will not be corrupted by any computer virus. I believe, although
I may be wrong on this, but all game developers suggest that you do something
like this for secure storage of game key info.

Hi Charles,
While I agree with you in principle do remember not everyone has the
ability or the means to produce braille these days.
For example, I have a braille writer, but it is broken, and has been
broken for quite a long time now. The reason I never sent it in for
repairs is it would cost mo
Good points. Also, an inexpensive cassette recorder and a blank tape can also
be used. I'm thinking of ways to store the important info that does not need a
computer to access. Braille was the first thing to come to my mind, because I
am a braille user.

Hi Charles,
Yeah, someone could do it that way if they wanted to, but I would
think a portable digital recorder would be more practical here than a
cassette recorder. Cassette tapes were notorious for getting eaten by
the player, for the tape breaking, or simply wearing out over time. A

Hi Josh,
It really depends on a number of factors. It depends on how fast your
processor is, how much RAM you have, and how much you give to your
virtual machine. Sometimes, and this is just a generalization, some
games can become a little sluggish compared to running it on a host
operating system
