Here Here. And it's not just blind people interested in older style
games. At Wal-Mart one can for $30 or so buy a little hand-held device
which connects to the A/V of a receiver or your television and one can
play the classic 80's arcade Pacman, MS Pacman, Space Invaders, etc.
There are about 4 or 5 games in each cartrage and one can buy more for
around $10 or $15. The unit urns off of 4 AA batteries. Not accessable
to a totally blind person yet these are selling a lot. Who buys them? I
bet you mainly people over 30 do but I have seen kids get them too. My
daughter has learned to appreciate the things which were popular when I
was a kid. Things from 80's music to 80's games are just a few of them.
Do we have one of these devices? You bet we do. Much better for the kids
I think than the violence-filled games out today.

We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the
