That is fair to say to beat your high score. One point to consider is not just the replayabilities in a game but its usage. Since accesible games don't have that great amount to pick one. Creating a game needs to be fun enough to play again and again. Where sighted gamers can just run out to the store to buy another game. Really games that are gotten this way are simular in nature. Its hard enough to come up iwth something to then creatting a game for playabilities. Big time gamers are more into whats new then sticking to a select few. That holds partly true in accessible games. So creating a game with playabilites may not be the strong point, but a game that will get usage for reasons of subject matter, the ease in game play and how much fun. Play usage the game is in its totalpackage. For those who love games like LoneWolf is made for to those who like submarines. The games for this nitch will get the usage and therefore becomes replayable. Pinball is the small. If you love playing pinball then yes beating your high score is the goal of the game and that is what it makes it replayable, until the magic of the game wears off. A new Pinball game will bring that magic back, even if the new Pinball game is not as good as the first. This is only an example not to be confused with the accessible Pnaballs games that are out now. My point is revamping or creating add ons for those who have become users of certain games. I am a gamer who likes to get upgrades to my favorite games that I find replayable so I can get more use out of a game in the accessible games.
