I agree totally with this statement. As I said, we don't need sidescrollers. I've said it in the past. Super Liam is a game that shows us that sidescrollers are:
1. Too easy: 2: No replay value: 3: Too retro (When was the last time a sighted gamer even mentioned that a sidescroller was coming out?) Well, no one did simply because there isn't one, and there never will be. If the sighted people have 3- D games, we should be getting them too. I know people like me who don't play audio games because of this simple factor. A bunch of us have said it before, and I'll say it again since Tomas was the only one that seemed to notice: We have too much arcade games. We don't have a single complex game out there that is challenging and or competes with, Monkey Business. Which is, in case the babies of the blind community haven't noticed, and probably haven't beaten it yet, the most challenging game in the accessible games market today. Now it'd be considered a classic. But Tomas, please just make the audio games market better by making both STFC 2 and Moda 3-D. To get the sidescroller out of the way, slap some code together real fast. If there's bugs? Tuff luck. Also, make it freeware and forget about it. Than you can start to work on extremely hard, and complex games with new consepts that blind people have never sceen before in an accessible game.
