Hi Robin, I am sorry, I neglected to mention that I played this game before I lost my sight. Sorry to get your expectations up. However, the principles could probably still be used in a space sim for the blind, and actually it could be used for a number of games involving small squad tactics, such as ordering tanks, or other members of a team around. Again, I am sorry I didn't explain fully. al The truth will set you free...
