Yeah it was nice while it lasted but with the core devs pritty much no
go and spiradic listings of everything else who knows.
Coolblindtech some more stuff to and it was getting to big.
I mean back before the net and when you had 3.5 inch disks via mail yeah
it worked but now there is a lot of information.

Hello, everyone. I've just come across this thread about the Audyssey
magazine I created so many years ago now. The kind folks at
Www.audiogames.net <http://Www.audiogames.net>
Have been kind enough to keep an archive of all issues created by Ron
and I with so many brilliant contributions from the community. So much
has changed since those days. Every so often, I've been asked about
the prospects of starting the magazine up again. I don't really see a
need for a new ezine with so much information about accessible games
so easily found online. The whole atmosphere of community has changed.
I doubt developers would be as open with what they're working on today
given the abuse many of them got from impatient gamers. Putting issues
together would be a harder proposition.
The Applevis site has really filled the gap nicely for people
interested in games for iPhones and iPads. Also, Audiogames.net keeps
chugging along nicely for pretty much all other platforms. That's
tremendously good for people into game consoles and such. My sense is
that people are finding out about the kinds of games available. There
may well be dificulties in more niche areas like accessible tabletop
rpg and board games. In my experience, Google seems to match people up
pretty well if they know enough to search for the right key words.
These days, I'm working on segments for the Kelly and Company show on
AMi Audio
Www.ami.ca <http://Www.ami.ca>
Also, I'm currently writing the second edition of my Personal Power
guide for iOS users who are blind. Despite its imperfections, the
first edition still seems to be helping people and did some real good
earlier in the pandemic. I'm hopeful that the second edition will help
people similarly if they choose iO
S as we move through and hopefully out of the pandemic.
