Hello and welcome.
It's always great to have someone showing an interest in accessible games,
especially someone working in the industry itself.
out of interest, which audio games have you tried particularly?
For more information on games and access, you can go to www.audiogames.net
or www.pcsgames.net which both have very extensive lists of accessible games
of various forms.
Myself, i've played many if games at various points, sinse I'm very much a
fan of exploration and plot in games, though i will freely confess the
riddle style puzles in many if titles tend to stump me.
i have however been a fan of textual rpg games for quite a while, in fact if
you can suggest any recently created games in this line I'd deffinately
appreciate it.
I have played several Eamon games sinse Eamon delux is workable with a
screen reader given a litle configuring, (though i wish the creator would
extend the program to cover more games and remove some of the bugs), and
also have most recently been playing the game fallthru.
I think the last actual Interactive fiction game I played was a demo of one
of malinch's commercial interactive titles.
Beware the Grue! (yes, this is my sig).
Dark.

Subject: [Audyssey] New here; saying hello
Hi there,
I've just joined up and thought it would be seemly if I said hello.
I'm Neophyte and I blog at a site called In The Company of Grues. I'm
sighted but a couple of my blind interactive fiction peers have been
helping me gain a more complex understanding of accessibility gaming,
something I've been a quiet advocate of for a number of years in my work
within the games industry.
More recently, I started work on a couple of projects and was inspired to
join Audyssey.
I'm currently playing a few games from the 2010 IF competition and I'm
reading a great book called Wake, by science fiction author Robert Sawyer.
The book was recommended to me by a blind friend who used to play Eamon
games and interactive fiction.
Well, hopefully this all works. This is the first time I've used an email
discussion list.
Chat soon.
Cheers,
Neophyte
