I understand tom, its a bad habbit of mine to get carried away and
not construct my messages as properly as I probably should.
For example, I have some issues with the fact the audiogames industry
is not spread out to other organisations for the disabled at least
what I have seen on the limited number of sites for the blind orgs
and some others I look at.
I understand the asabat stuff is probably for children, but it really
gets my goat when a page for an organisation puts a children's game
or whatever as the only game a blind person can play.
Especially since I know better and have played better.
I did play some of the asabat games and found at least for me that
they didn't even meet the standard for some of jim kitchens games.
Granted if used for a child I can see it working.
Early last year I was involved in the predesign stages for a school
laptop system for my local blind education instatute.
Naturally all games with violence needed to be weeded.
and also the games would need to be free or near free since this was
for children with no cash as such to buy them being of a low
echonomic family sector.
I needed to put out a few things.
Free games I came up with included jim kitchens games.
excluding all adult games and maybe the casino.
the quentin c and rsgames clients.
adventure at c.
a couple game book websites.
I think final conflict and trek2000.
Most of the l-works free games as well as the danzgames and at that
time the pb games stuff.
I guess asabat and 7128 if I had put demos on and lonewolf would have
been good to.
as well as decent into madness, last crusade and the sonic zoom games.
Now I think of it, most of the vipgameszone stuff would work to.
I do realise that a lot of organisations just don't think of blind
games officially and thats sad but I understand.
Most of the stuff for the blind is business orientated and thats fine.
Is there any way to try to get ourselves out there.
I just don't think that using 1 company to represent blind gaming
period is a good thing.
Now, if I were to choose.
I'd go for either pcs, gma or kitchensinc because they were there
from the beginning.
Or I'd go for audiogames.net as the one to watch if I could only have one.
Audiogames.net has been a major driving force.
I realise that not all companies can be listed, but it would be nice
if more organisations sold blind games from as many companies as
possible and not just one company for children's games.
I do understand that most games at least with my local org were for
children initially but still I do wander why no one has seriously
conciddered at least investigating if not out right trying to at
least have more for sale other places.
Another frustration is that all games seem to be in europe or the us,
its almost like no one else is interested in games.
granted a few more places are not mentioned on my list, but largely I
have seen games come in us prices.
I was hoping I could get games closer to home.
Spoonbil is in australia, but I do wander is the interest in
developing blind games limited to sertain parts of the world where
there are bigger concentrations of blind or what.
Its a musing and I don't expect an answer to this.

Shaun,
This was more clear to me and others as to your original intent, but
you need to understand the way you write often times tends to ramble
on and on with no point in sight, is confusing to read, and getting
any kind of intelligible meaning from your posts is often times
difficult. Between the ramble, grammatical errors, misspelled words,
and general extraneous content no one wants to read your posts any
more. On the occasion someone does read one of your posts it is
usually filled with negative or pessimistic comments that do not
constructively add to the conversation. It is for these and other
reasons I felt it was in our best interests to moderate you so that
only messages with a clear point, a more positive outlook, and does
not flame or attack someone get through while filtering out all the
other less desirable messages.
Cheers!
