---- Yes, more or less. The tv games I played with my friends wasn't known as Atari at the store where we bought them. It's a cartridge with a joystick plugged into the tv. The cartridge looks almost like a tape recorder. Well, I think that's the little machine that hosts the cartridge. The cartridge is like a tape you put into this container and then it has a reset button on the box thing which you can press then it will quit the current game and put you back into the menu of games. You select a game by moving the joystick up and down. The joystick we played with have anavigational button. Its one big button thing but it have 4 places where you can press, almost like the arrow keys on a keyboard. Then the joy stick has 4 round buttons. I know one of them was extentsively used for jumping or shooting. And then there were two small buttons between the navigation button control and the round buttons. One of them paused the game; I can't remember what the other one did. But I was solely referring to these tv games in the cartridge, that they are cheeper than accessible games. I know the play stations is much more expensive than accessible games. Thom , I wasn't trying to criticize anyone; I'm just trying to contribute to the discussion regarding accessible and main stream gaming. I'm just learning in the process because accessible gaming is quite a new concept to me, I'm just expressing my thoughts and learnfrom the opinions expressed by other members, whether they disagree with me or not. Thanks But I must say regarding the sounds of accessible games, its much better sounds than the tv games. The tv games' sounds is only electronic sounds because sighted people don't need sounds to help them play the game; they use graphics, we blind gamers use sound as our main medium of navigation as we obviously can't use graphics. All I was trying to say is that sighted people are very fortunate to pay so little for the tv games. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thomas Ward Sent: 29 September 2006 01:34 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] the unfortune regarding accessible games and mainstream games Hi Nicol, From what you describe are you talking about the new Atari tv games where you get a joystick which plugs in to your tv, and has several games on them? While it is true you can find some mainstream games that are cheaper than accessible games most mainstream games are much more expensive than an accessible game. Games for the PS2, Xbox, and Game Cube are allot more than what you will pay for an accessible game. Most mainstream games are $45 U.S. and over. _______________________________________________ Gamers mailing list ..
