Hello Ishan,
Good question. To be honest I am not quite certain who gets the credit
of writing the first audio game per se, but there are a few contenders
for that distinction. What I'll say is accessible PC games go back
before the development of audio games and it is important to start
there.
Hi Lisa,
Something like that. I had him on moderated status, took him of
temporarily to see how he would behave, and when he almost kicked off
a flame war he went right back on moderated status where I intend to
keep him until I decide weather or not I want to take more drastic
measures. So far
Thomas, what dos screenreaders were there?
Asking, partly, since have a VMWare image here including dos 6.2, or
thereabouts, and windows 3.1 in it, but anyway..?

Hi Jacob,
there were actually several high quality Dos screen readers available
in the early to mid 90's. There was Jaws for Dos, Vocal-Eyes, and ASAP
which were the main three widely in use. However, if you want to use
any of them you will have to also have a hardware synthesizer like a

That all depends on if you want spoilers or not. If you want a direct guide

For those new to the field of games for the blind,
here is a short history of our company.
In September 1995, Carl Mickla started Personal Computer Systems with his
game, Any Night Football.
It was a DOS only game that used your DOS screen reader to describe game

Hello Ishan,
Yes, there have been a few sighted developers who have produced a few
audio games. Off the top of my head there was Richard Disteno, I
believe that was his name, who wrote a few games back in the day like
Run for President, Mission to Mars, and Atlantic City Blackjack. There

Hi Thomas,
Richard Disteno is blind, and I first heard about him in the World Series
Baseball game for DOS by Harry Hollingsworth, who was also blind. Richard
Disteno was a Judge in New Jersey and posted to Harry's WSBB news, a
print publication.
WSBB News started in April 1991 Volume 1 Number

I'm going to assume you've already found the map and have access to the

The easiest way is through the Harem. Adventure there until you obtain the
Harem Veil, Harem Pants, and Perfume. Once you have these, equip them and
use the perfume. You can now enter the Throne room.
Hi Lisa,
Yeah, James North was definitely sighted. Forgot about him when trying
to recall my list of sighted audio game developers.
As for that cow place I believe you are talking about Bavisoft. They
are the ones who created Grizzly Gulch and Chillingham.

Hi Tom.
I seem to remember hearing an interview with Jim Kitchin at one point which
that the first actual audio game which used sound rather than just writing
text to the screen was on the eureaca or one of those other specialist
braille machines.
I think it was a shoot aliens type of game,

I must confess the puzzles in KoL were part of what put me off sinse they

Hi Ishen.
firstly, Thomas' ward's name is not champion, neither is champion a term of
respect in English.
As to your question, yes, several sighted developers have worked on audio
games, most noteably JAson Alan who created Entombed, Steve Crawford from
Azabat, JEremy Kaldobski, better
Hi Dark,
Interesting. As I said I'm not quite sure what the first audio game
was for certain, but some of the earliest ones I know of were for the
BNS Classic and BNS 640K. There was Mine Sweeper, Simon, Solitaire,
and a few others released by Blazie Engineering for the device. A
little later on
Hi Thomas,
My first talking computer was an Apple 2e with an echo hardware synthesizer
that I got in 1985.
Back then there was no copy protection as you had to copy the screen reader
program to the 5.25 floppy disk and run both.
There was no hard disks so everything had to be loaded from
The first game I encountered was not one made for the blind. Adventures in

was the first one that I bought, anyway. Then I found Rich Destino's DOS

Hi Tom.
well to be accurate I knew games were! available for Pc sinse I used to
watch the show Games master, which was the first Uk program about computer
games (and very good fun), which showed me reviews of things like doom,
quake, 7th guest etc, heck in the early 90's we had a comador
In addition to those mentioned, the folks at 7-128 Software are
sighted. We try to create games that are for both blind and sighted
gamers. We use SAPI voices for dialogue, descriptive material for the
scenes and sounds for, as one of our blind game testers said, ear
candy that helps create
Hi Charles,
Yeah, I remember the 5.25 floppy discs real well. What I remember most
is they were big, actually floppy, and could only hold something like
720K at most. Sounds laughable now that technology has progressed to
the point where they have 64 GB flash cards that is only a couple of
inches
Hi Dark,
Interesting. Yeah, you were a bit late in joining the community, but
in a way that might have been a good thing as you would probably have
been disappointed as I was with what was available in the late 90's. I

Hi Phil,
Yeah, that brings back some memories. When I was going to junior high
our class room had an Apple 2E with an echo, and to say the least the
voice was beyond horrid. However, we did have some of those games on a
floppy disc like Oregon Trail and I can remember spending many hours
in study

It was indeed lucky in a way. As you know, my vision, while extremely

Just a guess, but weren't GMA at least one of the first real audio game
devs? I'm not entirely sure on this front, and I guess it would really
depend on what you want to define audio games as; text adventures have
been out since the 80s.
