Hi. One anser could be is an open source mottle. If a blind developer were to hook up with some of the open source gamers for Linux etc they could in theory colaberate on adapting games to work with sighted and blind gamers. Take a game such as Kpackman it is a Packman game for Linux for the KDE desktop. All the graphics is there. What it needs is to be upgraded to have better sound effects, score announcements, and other features to be acccessible. There are asteroid clones for Linux that use mesa for killer graphics, but aren't accessible. Hook them up with say OpenAL for audio, self voice the thing, and you have a game which will do both.
