Hiya,
Just to offer some encouragement, I have a sighted friend who is very
interested in the possibilities offered by audio games. I've introduced him to
several, and he has actually taken the initiative to go out and look for others
on his own. I was quite surprised, and pleased, when he asked me: "So, have
you tried Rail Racer?" I hadn't even mentioned the game to him. Turns out he
did a lot of poking around and found it. I've found folks interested in Audio
Quake, among others. This is very gratifying to me.
Hope this helps,
Zack.
