well there are examples.
1. teraformas.
this game had graphics and sound though probably not as good as
shades of doom or gtc as an experimental game it was quite interesting.
Unfortunately its never been updated so some bugs still remain.
the blind eye is a prime example on what is not a good thing to do
with an accessible game.
Its never been fixeither.
shades of doom was one of the first fps games out there.
it has most of what could be benificial for the blind to play.
gtc is also a good game.
Entombed is a good rpg style at least it should work in that sort of way.
soundrts and time of conflict could lend some help to.
finally final conflict has simple menus and key commands.
though old its still good for what it is.

Hi list. I have a few questions regarding the realistic
possibilities of incorporating accessibility within a graphical
game...and I'm hoping some list members would be able to offer
their advice. I have a sighted programmer friend who has taken an
interest in how I would go about playing a game...and we got onto
the subject of how accessibility could be built into a visual game.
Anyway, if anyone could answer some basic questions below, I'd
really appreciate it, as this would firstly clear up "non possible"
avenues and secondly, give us the possible avenues to play with. At
this point, can I just say, if it is possible to do this, a very
simple graphical game would be on the table for an experiment,
probably self voicing and web-based, but could be client based.
1. What is the best combination for accessibility within a visual
environment. E.g, Java (graphics) and self-voicing? Flash (graphics)
and self-voicing? Java (graphics) and a client TTS based program? etc...
2. Would 1 approach be more difficult than another? E.g,
screenreader over self-voicing?
3. Are there any examples of such a graphical game which offer a
good gaming experience to both the blind and sighted, which
incorporate audio accessibility?
Hopefully you understand what I'm asking. In a nutshell, the blind
have no need for graphics and the sighted need graphics, so I'm
guessing there hasn't been a great need to marry the two...but is it
possible and what road would we go down to make it possible.
Many thanks, have a great day, cheers Steve.
