The other way is to make games like the mainstream ones but with enough
dissimilarities that it won't infringe on the copyrights, such as not using
any of the sounds from the original game or the names of things. For
example, my Space Attack game is a lot like Space Invaders, but I believe
that there are enough differences that it won't break the laws. Of course
that's a simplistic game and doesn't have the character development, plots,
and unique weapons that say a star wars game would have.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] converting games
Michael,
Weather an accessible developer decides to sell the game or not it is
still illegal. It is called copyright infringement regardless if the
developer sells it, makes it open source, whatever. That makes it a
potential risk for any developer who tries it. None of us are completely
happy about the copyright laws and feel they need to be more liberal when
it comes to accessibility issues, but the only way we can change that is
talk to the people who make the laws, or complain directly to the
companies who lack accessibility features such as talking menus.
I've already explained the position of most audio game developers, and
ppointed out exactly why they aren't creating accessible versions of
Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Resident Evil, or whatever. Bottom line,
what you want and what you can get are two different things in this case.
As they always say, "you can't always get what you want."
Smile.

with mortal kombat it would be easy to do and to make it legal do not
charge for the game the first mortal kombat is a basic fighting game so
it would be easy to do all you need to do is use the voice that is in the
computer to read the main menu and the option menu and the character
select screen and last thing who you are about to fight like you all said
it would be hard to convert the fighting part of the game but you do not
have to convert that part of the game. i do know the first mortal kombat
game was easy for a blind person to play because it did have sound for
things such as jumping and punching and kicking the only thing that i
want is the menus to be descrive so i can play the game
and be able to play it on my computer
