Hi Thomas, I would like to ask a question about the problems with such programs as the mentioned Dosbox. Why is it so difficult for a screen reader to get anything from such a program? Shouldn't (in theory) a screen reader be able to get all the information on the screen as it is given from a

Regarding the first entry, my immediate question would be, Why would blind people not be included? We are people, and we do play games, after all? Why would any people be excluded? --- Be positive! When it comes to being defeated, if you think you're finished, you! really! are! finished!

Hi Phil, Thanks for the information. That really helps. That said, my feeling is the same as yours about rewriting them. Jim Kitchen has done a nice job on his football and baseball games that it really isn't necessary to rerite Any Night Football or World Series Baseball at this point unless

Charles, my guess would be that the initiator of this tech talk might not necessarily be aware of the variety of games either specifically available, or even just those that are usable without necessarily having had any specific adaptations/adjustments implemented. Something have definitely

Jacob, Let me correct a misapprehension on your part. :) The initiator of the talk is none other than Michael Feir, who was editor of Audyssey magazine for years. He knows very well that blind people aren’t traditionally included in the gaming discussion. This talk is aimed at changing that.

Many factors keep us from being included. A big one is a jenuine lack of awareness of our capabilities. Incidentally, we can't play either of the two games chosen as being worthy of the Able Gamers Most accessible Games of the Year awards. This is despite one of them being mostly text-based and
