OGame, being primarily text-based and all in the web browser, was pretty fun for a while. I guess I always like the games more when they aren't developped specifically for and the user base isn't drastically dominated by the blind community. Talk about zapping your life away though, I lost a few letter grades 'cause of OGame.

hi rick, here are the two best online RPG games I know of: Sryth The Age of Igtheon (TM) - Fantasyhttp://www.sryth.com/?ur=morgan";>Sryth <http://www.sryth.com/?ur=morgan%22%3ESryth>and for sci-fi/space adventuring:hmmm, the home page for the servers is not as accessible as it used to be, but the game may well be, you'll have to try it and see, but it used to be one of the more accessible games on the net, and you can go solo, join into an alliance with other players, trade pirate, build an empire, get blasted to bits, claim and build planets, build and expand one or two ships, etc.Alien Assault Traders: http://www.aatraders.com/ and as noted, whitestick.co.uk may have other newer ones on his site. laters, elf proprietor, The Grab Bag, for blind computer users and programmers http://grabbag.alacorncomputer.com Owner: Alacorn Computer Enterprises "own the might and majesty of a Alacorn!" www.alacorncomputer.com <http://www.alacorncomputer.com> ----- Original Message ----- *From:* RicksPlace <mailto:ofbgmail@xxxxxxxxx> *To:* programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> *Sent:* Saturday, March 06, 2010 4:25 PM *Subject:* Online Games Hi Guys: Some time ago there were a few folks messing with trying to build some games. I am just wondering if there is an alternat reality game, perhaps role playing, or other multi-player internet based game that is involved and interesting. Somtthing where you can join teams and compete with other individuals or teams. I have never played any games since I was quite little and I think it was Monopoly, the dice, board and little green houses and red hotels - grin.Anyway, I heard a radio show about some of the popular games of today for sighted folks and was wondering if there was anything that might be an interesting passtime. I would like to play with others rather than against a computer. Does this sound like anything you know of or are working on?Ya, save, or destroy, the Universe or the Underworld or anything else might be fun if there is enough complexity to the environment and a challanging alternate reality. My words are likely all wrong but you gamers might know what I mean, I do not want to play poker, checkers or Fluffy The Dinosaur. WOW sounded cool and allot of other games they mentioned but they sure did not sound accessible to a blind player. Rick USA Rick USA
