Audio quake is a really good example of a balance of a game playable by both sighted and blind players.
the excellent work by Matthew Atkinson and our very own Sebby, is meant to illustrate the concept we've been discussing here and achieves this phenomenally well! So the idea that games cannot have universal access without essentially being no good really seems to be a case that many devs are maybe not letting their imaginations run wild enough. :) It's not only possible but is amazingly cool as well. Thanks to Matthew and Sebby! Y'all rock!

When I first heard about games for the blind, I imagined a video game where you don't need the video part, but it's there. Like a mainstream game that sighted people play that also has accessible features. So sighted games leave blind people out, but blind games leave sighted people out. Some games are in between; they are video games, but have a lot of audio cues. So they're upset because the happy medium is hardly ever reached.
