Pete and all; Actually Audio Quake is nothing like a turn-by-turn text based game or mud. It's also not like the current ilk of blind-accessible games in that it's a completely 3D real-time physics-based online multi-player first-person-shooter. *how do you like that for a mouthful!* lol!
Okay, so a mud and quake are multi-player online games, but the similarity really ends there. :) I believe, with the upcoming Mac release, that this may very well be the first truly 3D VI / blind accessible game on this platform. So rather than harkening back to something, I'd suggest that even though this particular game is quite old, (about 12 years) that for this community, the paradigm it brings is actually one that is only now barely being touched on by VI / blind developers. <smile> -Not trying to be annoying; -Just thought I'd shed a bit of light for those who may not be familiar with Audio Quake. Thanks so much for your note and do have an amazing evening!… Smiles, Cara :) --- View my Online Portfolio at: http://www.onemodelplace.com/CaraQuinn Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/ModelCara On Feb 9, 2010, at 5:22 PM, Pete Nalda wrote: On Feb 9, 2010, at 5:42 PM, Nicolai Svendsen wrote: > Hi, > > Ahh,thanks for the update, Cara :).

I'd suspect playing an audio version of Quake would harken back to the days of Text games like Muds and their ilk., but only better! Can't wait! Egun On, Lagunak!
