I was in gest really.
I just think a manual should be readily accessible and not in print alone.
In fact I wander why it was in print to begin with a lot of stuff is not
generally in print.
I've also sent queries about the battery.
A light measures the battery if its full or not which well there isn't
any audio feedback.
Sorry if my message came accross wrongly I assure you I am being
reasonably reasonable or think I was.
I assumed there was a reason one didn't have the manual and maybe I came
over here a bit strong which I was not meaning to do.

could enjoy. It is people like you that is the reason why there aren't as many
games for us as there could have been. Who wants to put a lot of effort into a
game for the visually impaired, only to recieve a reception like yours. Years
ago a developer announced a new video game they were developing for the
visually impaired on audiogames.net, they got so many responses the like yours
that as soon as they released the game they announced that because of the
negative reception they got from the VIP community, they had decided that they
would not make any more accessible games but would focus their energies on
mainstream games.

Hi.
For those interested [email protected] is the dev of the game.
The games are easy to understand and have instructions within the game.
But the manual is simple to understand, so simple that the manual is a
single sheet of printed paper!
I have just pointed out that the manual for a total blind person is useless.
Also unless they want to be sending it on cds or something so we can
read it or include it on the system I reccommended they just upload it
to the site.
I don't know why they send a a printed manual.
Hopefully they will see sence.
If not my plan will be to ocr the thing and or do something so others
can access it copywrites and such be damned!
Its really not on that with a supposedly accessible game system that we
should even have this conversation at all.
Even the hardware I get has downloadable instructions I'd imagine the
manuals would be online.
It would be easy as well putting the original file on the server, heck
even if the thing was put out as an online html page or downloadable
file with all the versions in it it wouldn't be that hard and a manual
aint to big.
If they don't want to make it publically accessible thats fine just put
that thing for those of us with an account, I mean I have a few
manufacturers that do that after all I have a system.
If they don't maybe I can ask someone for it.
