I've always been a beat-em-up fan myself. Wasn't ever super at Street
Fighter, but got right into Tekken and Mortal Kombat. I haven't got the
latest one though, I only own a PS3 not a PS4. But lots of fun to be had
there. Especially if you can have a tournament with friends.
I've got just about enough sight to play some other out there titles,
like Metal Gear Solid and such. Simply superb games, but my coping
strategies are a bit unique. For MGS, for example I rely massively on
either the radar or the thermal imaging to get things done, depending on
the game. In MGS3 and 4, I pretty much exclusively use thermals. The
whole game is orange to me practically!
I also played Civilization V, which I can just about see enough to play.
An amazing game. Amazing, yet addictive and a massive time sink haha.
I'm surprised Firaxis have never tried to make that game work with a
screen reader of any kind. It's turn based with a lot of textual
content, which is a large part of what makes me think it's doable. And
it would be amazing to not spend minutes trying to read stuff each turn.

Golden Axe! I absolutely love that game. I don't remember playing the second
one but the first one was very neat.
I think I like the dwarf best, especially with that charge ability.
I would be more than happy to help you out with a port of Golden Axe on TB. The
big thing would be the authentic game sounds and music, but I think it would be
a lot of fun, and it wouldn't be to complicated for first time map pack maker.
Honestly, if I can do it then absolutely anyone can do it. A good place to
start would be Ian's map creation guide. He has step-by-step instructions in
there. The list is also really good with helping people out with questions and
problems etc.

Hi,
Yes, Nintendo did port Double Dragon, and they also did Double Dragon 2, and
3. However, the ports are a lot different than the arcade versions. I have
never beaten Double Dragon 1, but have managed, with some help, to get
through the second one. Even with special codes I couldn't beat Double
Dragon 3 however. It is funny that we're discussing ports of various games
at the moment because another one comes to mind that I like to play. How
many remember "Golden Axe"? I have been playing both the Sega Genesis and
Arcade versions of this series on my computer using various emulator
programs. Interesting thing though is that the Arcade releases contain the
original Golden Axe, and a second title called Golden Axe Revenge. For the
Sega Genesis, you have Golden Axe one and two, but then there is also Golden
Axe Three which was not actually released here in the states. I have managed
to get this for my emulator and let me tell you: it is hard.
I am hoping to someday create a map pack of some sort that would be based on
some of these titles, but I don't even know yet how to even begin to do it.
Best Regards,
Brent Buswell

That's pretty cool! I'm not sure I have the capacity to do that.
I played both those games and timing is everything. It never even occurred
to me about the sounds being a cue.
I love playing double Dragon at the arcade. One weekend I actually spent
over $20 in quarters for me and a friend to beat that game. I can't remember
if the NES had ported that arcade game at the time. I probably would have
saved myself a lot of money in the long run if I just bought the cartridge.

Hello There,
I play these games by memorizing all the sound effects. I have found that it
usually doesn't take too long to figure out the sounds, but sometimes it
gets a little tricky. The other thing I do is to time all my movements to
the music: that is when there is music in the background. There were times
in Super Mario when this worked out quite nicely. This also served me quite
well in games like Mike Tyson's Punchout, and other types of action games
like the Double Dragon series.
I have been a musician for practically my entire life so it might be that
this has helpe me with the one trick I mentioned for playing these. Other
than thee tricks that I have used, it is all luck and lots of practice.
Best Regards,
Brent Buswell

Yeah my kids had Pokémon coming out of the waahzoo when it was popular. They
had all the Nintendo games and the board game and cards… It drove me nuts
and broke the same time, LOL.
I never heard of fable. What console is that on? Is that an RPG?
In reading the other emails on this thread, I just don't understand how you
guys can play these games and beat them. When I was cited I couldn't even
beat them, LOL. So what's the secret?

So what games are you able to play? Were you always blind? I lost my site
from diabetes about 12 years ago.
I'd love to be able to play SimCity, civilization, fallout, balders gate,
bejeweled, Axis and Allies, gold box Dungeons & Dragons etc. and so forth.
Of course I have a bunch of games I liked from the PS one and PS2, but the
above computer games I've never gotten tired of.

Sometimes I just have to tell myself to let it go. It's very difficult

I really don't see a problem with making anLOTR mappack. It isn't like
tactical battles is interfering with the franchises huge accessible video
game department… As if they had one.

I agree that it has come a long way, and I've only been playing since
October hahaha.
To be honest, a Lord of the Rings map pack was the first project I
wanted to do when I started creating. Problem for me though -- aside
from the copyright -- is that I'm a perfectionist, and if the layout
isn't perfect then...well. You know.

I would imagine there be something someone would have to do in the
program
and not just a script.
I got to admit that tactical battles has come a very long way!
I remember that scene from LOTR. I remember saruman telling that orc to
bring back the halfling "unspoiled"
I remember my friend turning to me and asking, "what the heck does he
mean
by unspoiled?"
I was thinking to myself that may be the wizard meant to not indulge the
halfling with candy and presence and trips to Disney middle World, LOL!
Now a Lord of the rings map pack would be fun. Especially if it had both
big
battles and yet still followed the heroes on their quest to destroy
Sauron's
bling.

No, it's the large aliens that step in mud and then spawn haha.
Of course, the AI is probably too dumb to figure that out as of yet.
Nothing really special though. I got the idea from the Fellowship of
the Ring, when the Uruk-Hai are rising from the mud pits.

On the Snark thing, that sounds similar to the Sappers in my fantasy

explode the user and damage opponents directly around them.

There's all sorts of nasty stuff…
Spitting acid or fire, stinging or piercing with the tail, infecting
humans
with some kind of parasite that turns them into another alien, or
perhaps
just causes an alien to pop out of the humans torso like in the first
alien
movie.
Maybe they can throw razor-sharp frisbees that bounce around
attacking
a
bunch of people before coming back to the alien. I seem to recall
something
called the Snark. It was a little ground alien that ran up and
exploded.
Maybe an alien has a drill or spinning razor blade for a hand. Maybe
the
attack could be electrical based or even a critical hit which causes
total
disintegration like in Star Trek.
Maybe they can spawn if you feed them after midnight or dunk them
into
some
water, LOL.

other
ones, if someone wants to toss something at me.

Oh, my first map in the alien pack is nearly done. I'm debating on a

although I'm not sure what sort of gun to give him yet -- but
otherwise it's finished.
