Hi Jim, Actually, I think the first live action game for the blind would have to be Lone Wolf. It was GMA's second title and it was real time based rather than turn based. Lone Wolf 1.0 was for Dos, but eventually David Greenwood rewrote it in VB 6 and then 2.0 and later were full Windows releases. So Lone Wolf probably takes the credit since it was out far longer than Shades of Doom. Although, Shades of Doom was probably the first true First-Person game for the blind.
