Yes I have mouse games but hardly play them.
I have barely enough space for the mouse.

Yup. well put guys. Most people on here assume oh this is a video
game, therefore I must have sight to play or to get full enjoyment
out of it, which isn't actually true. I get 100% enjoyment out of
games I play. If I didn't, why would I play them? It's like the
whole mouse issue when audiogames with mice support came out. oh the
mouse is a device for sighted people only. why would a blind person
use a mouse? it can't be done, etc, which of course was the wrong assumption.

Hi Raul,
This is exactly the attitude I think Yohandi and Orin would like to
see on this list. I myself wouldn't mind seeing it, but I, like
you, feel everyone is entitled to what they think. I can name all
sorts of games that I play which are not designed specifically for
the blind... all the cards, Chess, etc... but I have much the same
view as you do. If I enjoy a game, I'll do whatever I can to milk
as much enjoyment out of it as I possibly can. And the same applies
for console games. On no game case or console box does it say blind
people aren't allowed to use them or will get less out of them than
any other average person. We haven't lost anything, in my opinion.
If anything, we work our brains more by working strategies and
memorizing things based off stuff other than just visual cues, but
rather some mental calculations on our own part.
