Hi Dark, Um... Sarah is actually a 2D FPS game. It has none of the 3D elements of FPS games like Jedi Knight or Tomb Raider. However, your point is a good one. a side-scroller like Montezuma's Revenge or SL would be a nice intro to gaming for the blind, but then they could whip out something like Tank Commander or Sarah and then show the developers one of our best FPS titles. Personally, for FPS I would show them Shades of Doom as the navigation is a bit easier, and I expect the developers would relate well to a doom style game.
