Hi Ari,

It would also be great to hear thoughts particularly of people like Thomas
on this subject, because he was of course sighted but went to college as a
blind person, Thomas, did you play games for the blind with sighted students
at college?

At the time I was attending college I wasn't aware of any games 
specifically for the blind. I was currently going for my BS in Computer 
Science at the time so I generally spent free time creating simple Dos 
text games in C++ to play on my own. While sighted gamers didn't care 
too much for my games other blind students on campis liked copies of my 
games because I could put them on a floppy for them, and they could play 
them anywhere on campis where Jaws was installed.
When I was with sighted gamers they were always interested in playing 
Quake, Mech Warrior, Jedi Knight, etc. All games that were hugely 
popular at that time, and my simple text games just didn't compare with 
those commercial games. So I usually sat in when they were playing or 
get to fire off a few shots here and there, but they mainly played and I 
listened.
