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
