I've played all the games you mention and they really are no contest to playing
a game for sighted people. Not sure if you've ever had vision, but if you have
I can't beleive you'd disagree. But as I said in my last email, we just have to
accept it. I don't think the comments made here so far are a criticism or lack
of appreciation for the great work some developers have done, just an
observation. No matter what the reason for the lack of playability, it's still
very true.

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
www.audiogames.net
