Excellent point Charles. For those of us who've never played the original due to our inability to see it, the game is not old. Heck, even people who had sight and could play the game back them might welcome an accessible version now that they've lost their vision. I myself would love to see more accessible versions of Atari type games, and I played the originals when I was a kid even though I've never had sight.
