Well I'd be happy to pay a lot for a large game, one idea I had,
instead of paying say 100 bucks for a game have the game selling for
20-30 bucks maybe even 15 bucks.
Don't develop the full game, just do it in bits, you buy 1 bit, and
slowly buy more and more launching bits as you go.
Or you could keep the price low and make the player have to find more
bits to play somehow.
I remember games in the old dos days, you brought a simple game
with the game in it.
you could then buy the full game or play the simple game and hunt for
it every time you finnished a section you had to hunt for the next one, etc.

Hi Dark,
Sure. I think it is the additional complexity and exploration aspect I
was looking for as well. Chess, Uno, Hearts, Battleship, etc are good
games in and of themselves, but it didn't provide me with the
exploration and treasure hunting experience something like Tomb Raider
provided.
Like Shades of Doom the levels were basically very large mazes that I
could wander around, avoiding traps, and fighting monsters while
hunting for special items. I thrived on that kind of adventure, the
exploration, and until Shades of Doom came out there wasn't anything
like that for the blind. In the early days there were lots of card and
board games, but no adventure and exploration games outside of
interactive fiction. Since I was an adventure junky card and board
games just couldn't provide me the same experience. :D
Cheers
