Those are exactly the types of games I would like to see being developed in an accessible format. While growing up, I spent countless hours working through games like Zelda and Final Fantasy with my brothers, cousins, and friends.
The crusade game, and I guess even descent into madness, were steps in the right direction, but neither of these was complex enough to hold my attention for more than a few hours. The prices on those games can't be beat though.

As a matter of fact when I head back to college in the fall I'll be looking into software design. I myself have a deep interest in developing games for the blind. I know the market isn't large enough by any stretch of the imagination to make it a gainful job, but all it would really take to make it so would be for someone, whether it be a major company or one of us blind folks, to design a game with a good amount of depth and quality. Card games, board games and Space Invaders clones, however fun they may be, aren't gonna cut the cracker for everybody. I myself have a deep interest in RPG's like the Final Fantasy and Zelda series and would love to see or even create a similar type of game. BSC Games had a good thing going for them with Castle Quest but had to shelf it because too many people on the development team kept jumping ship. I would have been a voice actor in that game if it'd come out. Another idea I'd love to see implemented would be a Metroid style audio game. Those familiar with the Metroid franchise from Nintendo will know what I mean. In the meantime we've got games like Monty, which is a step in the right direction as far as I'm concerned. It ain't pretty when the pretty leaves you with no place to go. >From: Thomas Ward <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: Gamers Discussion list <[email protected]> >To: Gamers Discussion list <[email protected]> >Subject: Re: [Audyssey] RPG Games was thoughts on monty >Date: Sun, 25 Jun 2006 22:36:12 -0400 > >Hi, Ari. >Honestly licenses usually prevent any modification and or use of other >peoples code.
