I am made to remember being about ten. My dad got me the Music Constructor
kit for the Commodore 64. My best friend told me that it was all visual,
and that there was no way I would be able to learn it.
So, I stayed up for three days and nights, tinkering, bugging my dad, and
when it was all said and done, I had a twenty-page Braille manual describing
all the program's features and how a blind person could use it. I never
made really awesome compositions with it, but I knew how to work it and that
was the main thing. I believe that the real limitations of blind people are
their "I Can'ts."

and that right there is the problem. why do you guys keep coming back to
sight? I'm 100% blind. Most video games need sight, but there are also
many that don't. so why do you guys keep insisting that all video games
require some degree of vision to play? that's the big question I would
like an answer to. is it just cause someone tells you that video games are
strictly for sighted people, and therefore they're right no matter what we
say or do to prove you wrong? how can you sit there watching someone play
games, and not even make an attempt to try it for yourself? is it the fear
of being ridiculed perhaps? I'm really trying hard to understand this
guys, but I just can't fathom it.

Actually Yohandi, I at least am well aware of what games like rockband
and guitar hero are like, sinse my brother and friends have them, and I
am thus well aware of what I can or cannot see on the screen.
If I can see about configuring my joystick, I might considder pc
streetfighter though, that is a good idea sinse it wouldn't require me to
shell out for a console.
Beware the grue!
