Hi Decota.
Firstly, remember that the dropdown box on audiogames.net is not the be all
and end all of site searching, and also that the disclaimer statement at the
top of the site clearly states access as a primary motivation. Both of these
were set by Richard and sander 10 years ago when the
In my opinion, it's kind of a bs response to say that screen readers
make audiogames.
Urban dead uses only the screen reader to give info. It's not an
audiogame. It's a game played with a screen reader. I mean, I just
don't understand why it's so important to call them audiogames, even
though you
You said there was a part of mass effect that was playable by
sound? Could you give me some more details as to exactly which
one? That's probably the single graphical game I'd really want to
play, so it would be nice to give it a try next time I'm near an
xbox.

Hi Decota.
I'm afraid I simply do not agree that your catagorizations of what is or is
not an audio game are so easy as you suggest, indeed one thing that
studdying philosophy has taught me is that rigid classifications are a sure
fire way to desaster.
Take the BG games for instance. They
John,
The part of Mass Effect that is playable is really a minigame, and
it's mass effect 2. Now, I'll be the first to admit that most of mass
effect is unplayable by us, but this one part, this one minigame, is
entirely playable. In fact, I'd love to see a game made that is
basically an expansion
Right right.
I agree that accessible games need a place, and that place should be
... of course, web based. I argue, though, that Audyssey's function is
to do that. Audiogames.net filled a niche that Audyssey didn't
because, and no offense Audyssey guys, Audyssey sort of dropped the

I haven't played life all thaqt much, and the version I played may not
be the same version as the one your game was based off of.
Both physical versions I played did have the option to trade jobs with
another player at some point though, which made things ... well, a
little sneaky, if you know
I agree Decota there is indeed a difference betwene audio and accessible
games, but I do not agree that difference is as easily quantified as you
suggest, since to me something like alteraeon with the soundpack, lone wolf,
king of dragon pass or smugglers because! they feature sound and spoken
Hi Decota.
I dont' mind you voicing such opinions, since free discussion is always
welcome, but there are a few points you probably didn't considder.
Firstly, the way audiogames.net includes text games etc is not the
responsability of myself, it actually began with richard and sander both of
Hi Decota.
I've never heard of those rules with speeding you mention either. Myself,
when i used to play life with my parents, it was pretty much the same game
and the only missing component was as you said, university vs business, but
business was such a dire option.
wow! you can really
Hi Dakotah,
True, deciding not to go to college in the game of Life is not a good decision,
but it is there on the board. The same with deciding to or not to buy auto
insurance, life insurance, fire insurance and stocks. Not a good idea not to,
but the game does give you the choice.
Most of the people I've gotten to play Swamp are sighted. My two
sighted brothers, my wife, two of my friends, both of whom are pretty
hardcore gamers and both of whom loved Swamp, even before the 2.9
overhaul.
The only blind person I can confirm as someone I've brought onboard is
one friend of
Actually decota, I never found any real advantages in castaways to the
graphics that you couldn't get from the map since basically the main
advantage was overview of building placement and the audio tools gave you
all the info there anyway.
Swamp, playing from a low vision perspective I loved
wow decota I couldn't get friends interested in any games.
I had a couple that would play at the edges, with things like last crusade.
generally it was, um, what is this stupid game doing with no
graphics, I can't play this, there is no graphics.
How did you manage this.
I'd like to know your
The first thing that would make it easier for sighted people to play swamp
is that Swamp does have graphics. And it also is important to consider how
you approach someone sighted with a game that has no graphics.

Hi clemment.
to be strictly accurate, swamp doesn't have graphics in the way a sighted
person would understand them for a first person game. Rather, it has a
visual representation of in game objects and spaces, but this is not the
same as graphics that any other graphical fps game has. Swamp

Hi Decota.
As regards audiogames.net, well there is already the function to search for
games that just! contain audio and not text, use the search archive function
on the main site since the games are! catagorized as having either audio,
text, graphics or a combination of the three.

Hi Shaun,
I haven't been following this topic too closely, but from what I have
read it sounds like your friends have a bit of an attitude problem.
What I mean by that is some sighted people will compromise with a
blind person and will play a game like Jim Kitchen's Monopoly even
though it has

My sighted family, neighbors etc play my games. Probably more on my computer

Hi Dakotah,
First off, thanks, and I am very happy to hear that you and your friend enjoy
playing my game of Life. I was just wondering though, other than where the
board has the two splits where there are two paths that the player can take,
how does my game of life not play as the original
It also takes the right kind of person to advertise playing accessible games.
The trouble is, we in the blind and visually impaired community, by
design and leadership and tendency, often come off as having an
entitlement issue with whatever. I have a lot of friends I talk about
game stuff with,
In reply to Jim Kitchen, I may not be remembering the game of life
very well, but as I recall it, each job has functions around the

For example, if you spin a 10, you have to pay the policeman player
for speeding, etc.
I don't remember very well about how life works, but I will voice one
Hi al.
the swamp maps aren't propper graphics, they are indeed just referenced
coloured map sections. Had swamp been programmed with full graphics it
would've taken about five years to complete, because just about %80 of tthe

The graphics are high contrasting shapes, but it will work just fine for him to
play the game without a screen reader.
