Some of these just aren't appropriate for the main games page, for some reason. (Feel free to check out what's there, though...).
Most of these games require the Blastbay Games Toolkit to run. It also helps if you've got a sapi5+ text to speech engine installed on your system (If you're using windows XP or higher, you probably do).

| DLE Beta | 90.6MB |
A beta version of a Jeqo-related RPG. Currently enhances the contents of Escape the Dark Legion. The full version may or may not go far enough beyond that to warrant a completely different title. Update: You can get the full versoin at this link! | Sample Recording (MP3) |

Jeqocon Games Includes:
| 174MB |
This package is a collection of various java-based games; java6 is bundled with the games (find and run "play.bat" once you've extracted everything). Dragonball: Grand Unification is a side-scrolling action game, with plenty of fighting. Based on this text RPG. Planet Seva Vs. Herendil is a sidescrolling action game using the same system as DB:GU (though the two play rather differently aside from the fighting). Razze Highland winds up on Seva, for some reason. Adventures across space and universes ensue. If the story were explained any further, both Planet Seva and Herendil would implode from broken spoilers. The JF IM Adventure is a 3d action/adventure/sorta-kinda-RPG not designed to make more sense than it needs to. Settings include a modern city, the temple of a terrifying monster, a rather monotonous planet, a mountain fortress, a from-the-ashes-of-sci-fi fantasy-esque world... basically, whatever the heck we felt like throwing in over the instant message conversation that spawned this monstrocity. Have fun! | |
| BGT Keyboard | 1.68KB |
A bgt program for playing music using the keyboard. It will generate the necessary sounds if it needs to. (So I'm away from my actual instruments too much and decided to make something to play in the mean time...) | - |
| Super Mario Bros.: the Audio Edition | 18.9mb |
Ever heard of a little thing called Super Mario Bros.? (If not, ask Dr. Google...). It's the sort of game that doesn't inherently lend itself to being playable without sight. I decided that simply would not do, and created this version. Notice that, while it is meant to follow the NES version as closely as possible, there are some differences here and there (since I was designing it mostly from memory, and all... also because I didn't have reason to program it with pixel precision when the smallest objects are a block or so in size). | Demo recording (MP3) |
| Matcher (code proofreading) | 1.18kb |
This program will prompt you for a filename, then will report on whether that file contains any mismatched braces, parentheses, or brackets, and will also include the number of quotation marks. I made this because small errors in code can confuse compilers enough that it is very difficult to track down the cause. This program has helped speed up that search significantly. | - |
| Simple Mystery | 38.1kb |
This game generates six random people, and throws them into a house together. The catch is that one of them intends to murder another, and your job is to catch the killer! | A javascript version. Warning: the default security settings in IE7 and IE8 (and probably later versions of IE) do not like this program, and could well get you stuck in an infinite loop if you aren't careful. (Works fine in Firefox, from the looks of it.) |
| Sengoku Jidai (AKA the Blind Samurai) | 30.2mb |
A strategy/war game based on the Warring States period of Japan. Historical details were consulted, but don't expect something 100% historically accurate. (Also, excessive use of Japanese for simple things like fruit and vegetables...). | Demo recording (MP3) |
| Sonic the Hedgehog, Audio Edition | 32.4mb |
Maybe you've heard of Sonic the Hedgehog? (If not, ask Google!).The original version of this game doesn't lend itself much to playing without sight, so I made this version. | an informal walkthrough of Green Hills Act 1 (txt) |
| Sonic the Hedgehog Custom Vehicle for Top Speed 3 | 1.02mb |
So there's this audio racing game called Top Speed 3, from Playing in the Dark. It allows players to create their own vehicles or tracks. This is a custom vehicle based on Sonic. | - |
| Towering Tones | 2.62MB |
So, have you heard of those puzzle games in which jewels, or beans, or pills, or whatever fall from above, and you have to match up the colors before they fill up the entire screen? This is like that, only all sound. The music comes from Columns (a classic Sega game of this type). | A javascript version (that is less awesome) |
