Yeah he's done a lot of good with that site. Overall it's far the best resource I've ever come across for blindness related things.

Yes Darren, it's good to maintain the directory, and Tom Lorimer is a very nice chap who appreciates knowing about knew games, ---- indeed I informed him of a couple just yesterday. I actually really admire Whitestick as a site. It was a random advert in an otherwise highly useless braille magazine that allerted me in 2003 to the site and the idea of games on a pc, and it was through that list that I played games like Logd, Ashes of Angels and Sryth, not to mention my first taste of interactive fiction thanks to Tom's Text adventures page. It's still a great resource, and I've been quite surprised how Tom's expanded it, indeed when he wrote a full new directory after I let him know about the ffproject site just for online gamebooks it was something of a shock, (I just thought he'd list the main site url somewhere). All the best, Dark. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Darren Harris" <[email protected]> To: "'Gamers Discussion list'" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2013 11:43 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Accessible online games. > Hi, > > Yes whitestick is good but the only thing there is that people forget it's > there and forget to post submitions off to the webmaster to update the > site. > So yes dark is right in that it's a good place to go however if you know > of > games that are playable then please contact the owner and ask him to post > the link up on the site so others can see it to.
