I was the same with super mario land and ml2 on the gameboy...All right, I still am. I love hearing those tunes and listening to others playing the games. I even used to dream about them, and dream that I was Mario going into those coin rooms etc. I've been desperately trying to find mp3 files of the actual gameboy music, as tinny as it is. I always wished I could play those games. I could do the first level of SM because it didn't have moving platforms, and so I used to count how many times to press the forward button before pressing jump and work out roughly how many steps it would be before a hole etc. those were the days!!!

Hi HusseinWhen my son was really into the Sim games as a youngster, I used to love listening to the different pieces of music which kind of identified to me what he was doing. There was a bit of music that told me he was buying something, another when he was creating another part of the home ... And so it went, loved it. I wish we had an equivalent that could work with speech.Jackie Cairns Braille Specialist Email: jackie.cairns@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sight and Sound Technology Ltd Welton House North Wing Summerhouse Road Moulton Park Northampton NN3 6WD Tel: 01604 798024 Mob: 07887 883815 www.sightandsound.co.uk -----Original Message-----From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Hussein PatwaSent: 24 March 2010 16:27 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: PC and Online games for the VI? Hi Jackie,My first ever Sim was Simcity Classic which came on the Win95 my dad bought me as my first computer in 1997. I loved that game, and got it to work on Vista but haven't tried with Win 7. It was simple, yet it could keep one addicted for hours. I particularly loved the SimCopter, oh and the random disasters!I never tried anything after Simcity 3000 as that's when they brought out the add-on pakcs, and the graphics were too much for the screen magnifier I was using at the time. All you got was screen corruption and that was that._______________________________________ Have a pleasant day, Kind Regards and Best Wishes, Hussein.

Hi SteveYou touched on games like the Sims. Now this is the sort of game I would love to play, where you can create your own house, town, people, environment ... I love the music in the Sims games too.Jackie Cairns Braille SpecialistEmail: jackie.cairns@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sight and Sound Technology Ltd Welton House North Wing Summerhouse Road Moulton Park NorthamptonNN3 6WD Tel: 01604 798024 Mob: 07887 883815 www.sightandsound.co.uk -----Original Message-----From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steve NuttSent: 24 March 2010 14:43 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: PC and Online games for the VI? Hi Ibrahim, I entirely agree with what you say, except for your very last statement. There is something to suit everyone. Not quite.Blind gamers don't get into programming games like Sims, Virtual Pets, etc. The nearest I have seen is Jim Kitchen's game of Life. But there is still more scop for interesting games that blind people could write that they haven't even touched.All the best SteveFrom: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ibrahim GucukogluSent: Tuesday 23 March 2010 17:27 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: PC and Online games for the VI? Hi Ari.I'll counter your statement with another. Big companies producing big budget games which you say are more interesting have thousands of employees including software programmers, map creators, researchers and the like as well as budgets to match. They can produce or have comitioned sound tracks which would rival those produced by the big film studios and they have access to the best in class sounds and animation effects. Smaller companies and mostly individuals producing these accessible games work with very limited facilities, often operate with practically non existent budgets yet still manage to produce playable games. Please before making such sweeping statements justify them with some hard evidence. Have you played Entombed? any of the GMA Games? those from Draconis? There's plenty of choice and something to suit everyone.All the best, Ibrahim.----- Original Message -----From: ari <mailto:aridamoulakis@xxxxxxxxx> To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, March 23, 2010 4:45 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: PC and Online games for the VI?I'm happy to hear that I'm not the only one who thinks that compared to normal games blind games are of a much lower standard or at least really more boring. Like for example, with sports or other blind games, even the audio on sighted games is better. But what are quite good games if you like puzzles and things is a company called azabat. Quite pricy for me, maybe that is just the exchange rate from pounds to rand, but I enjoy the games, they're puzzles and stuffwww.azabat.co.uk Also for a large resource about what is available is www.audiogames.net Ari__________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4971 (20100324) __________The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com__________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4971 (20100324) __________The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.For more information please visit http://www.messagelabs.com/email ______________________________________________________________________** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq__________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4971 (20100324) __________The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com__________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4971 (20100324) __________The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.For more information please visit http://www.messagelabs.com/email ______________________________________________________________________** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
