Hi Steve. OK, almost everyone *smile*.

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.

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 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 stuff www.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
