I agree here,
Think if you've had eye sight and played mainstream games, heck even those
games going back to Sonic or Mario's first iterations you'd not be so easily
pleased with VI games.

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
