Thanks guys, this is the kind of stuff I was thinking of. One I now remember
seeing, you could sort of clasify it as a game, was a rowing machine, not
really accessible though. The point about this thing was you actually set
your resistance, and for sighted people, you were actually in a race against
other boats. Even for blind people, their was also excitement, since you
could sometimes hear this shark, and you had to row faster to get away from
him, or it would eat you and the machine would stop. I also heard of an
excersise bike where you ride a planned route on the screen, e.g through a
maze, or a race, and you had to pedal, look, and turn the handle bars to
turn the bike.
The problem about hand games, is that people assume that if it talks, it's
sort of accessible. Their are some handgames where you can shoot quite a lot
of things before you die.
My friend actually had a game on the Nintendo called Wild Gunman. This game
was totally accessible! You plugged a gun into the console, centred it on
the screen, and waited. The guy would say 'Fire,' and if you fired first,
you would go to a faster level, but if he fired first, you'd die and have to
start from the beginning. This was probably to test hand-ear reflex, but it
was hard, since it somehow knew when you weren't aiming the gun to the
middle, and your hand really has to be steady and you really have to have
nerve to wait tensely before hearing the fire to shoot. I often wonderd how
fast that game could get, or if it had an ending, since I think the
furtherest I got was I think level 16.
