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.

Hi Steve
You 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.

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
Steve

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.

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
