Exactly. The ones I would consider playable but not accessible are games like Lifeline. One can play them completely without needing to know directions to walk around the complex, as you control the game with your voice. However, one would have to know what items were in every room and where they were, as well as the special ways to fight certain monsters, in order for the game to be fully accessible. Or Kingdom Hearts. We blind folk can fight, but we haven't a prayer of finding our way through the game's many worlds. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Liam Erven" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Gamers Discussion list'" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2006 2:06 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] playability of Playstation 2 games?
