Hello, I realize this game is not playable currently without sighted assistance. However, it is so remarkable that I felt an urge to mention it. Let me stress that this game isn't one you can do anything with on your own--yet. I've emailed the developer about it and he seems quite receptive. There is absolutely no reason you couldn't have sighted help with this game, though--and this is the remarkable part. The basic premise of this game is that you are in charge of a colony of dwarves setting up a new home. You're supposed to make the place as liveable as possible--create sources of food, dig out shelter for the dwarves, defend it from invasions. The game is extremely open-ended, and the attention to detail is remarkable. There are many stories of things that have happened in the game which are both amusing and strangely heart-warming. The AI is great. Best of all, the game itself is free. To give you a taste of what's possible in this game, I'll give the URL for the stories page of the game's wiki as well as the game homepage itself. All of you who have sighted friends and love strategy games should check this out. http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Stories The game homepage is: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ All of yu with sighted friends and some time, feel free. I'd love to hear how it goes! All you people more programming-literate than myself feel free to email the dev and make suggestions about accessibility. Have fun, Zack. _________________________________________________________________ Missed the show?
