Hi, Kim. I think your suggestion is a very good one. As a dev of such games let me expand upon some of your ideas. In the PCS Games such as packman when you need to get an item which normally has no sound like an apple, charries, etc Phil simply uses a voice file to repete the word cherrries over and over so you can find it. The same could apply to the Mario idea. As you get closer to the mushroom you need you hear "mushroom mushroom mushroom," over and over and it gets louder or softer as you get close or move away. As for the flag poll no problem. How about a flapping flag or something so you can hear it as you get near it. ] I once was sighted, and played Mario when I could see, and I would enjoy seing a audio rendition of the game. I don't have the time now to do so, but I certainly think an audio version can be made. Some things might have to be adapted for a blind gamer, but as a whole it can be done.
