Ironically enough, that was when I found out about them myself. But even
more ironic? When I found out about audio games, I ditched mainstream ones
for about 2 years because I gave up hope of finding games that I could play
as well as audio games. Then I got a ps2, and Soul Calibur 2. I hated it for
the first month or two because I couldn't figure anything out. It was a
nightmare... I'd forgotten how complicated mainstream games were. But I
persisted... and that's just my point. Many of the vi gamers who didn't grow
up with mainstream games find them overly challenging or difficult, whereas
you and I would take a game like SF or even Mortal Kombat 4 and be able to
work it out within a few minutes. I grew up totally blind, so as a result
always had to persist and work myself hard to try and figure out what I was
playing.

Well like you I grew up mostly on mainstream games and didn't know about
audio until 2003.

See? That's the problem... most vi gamers wouldn't even go that far. They'd
take a look at the game, not be able to play it and just leave it. Noone
thinks to look further into it, or ask if anyone else has played it. Many of
the games I play I figured out only with the help of others... I definitely
didn't learn heavenly sword on my own. lol

Oh I know. For instance I found out that Simpsons: Road Rage is basically
playable, particularly if one hooks the console up to a home theater system
because then you can really tell where a passenger is and pick them up
easily.

Just depends on the genre you want to explore. Though I will admit that
fighting games are basically the only genre which is 100% fully masterable
as long as you master the nuances behind them, which is partly why I find
them so great. But music-based games like guitar hero and rock band are also
part of the fully playable category. Part of what is going to turn vi gamers
off of these though is that in music games and fighting games alike, the
game isn't built to be accessible... which means you actually have to work
to learn them. Not saying everyone applies, but there are a lot of vi gamers
I know who would, say, not even take a glance at street fighter IV because
you don't have a game which holds your hand. The same applies to music-based
games.. you actually have to learn the songs, just as you have to learn
sounds in fighting games. The game doesn't describe every aspect and nuance
of the game to you.

But not all those games are truly playable the way a lot of fighting games
can be once one gets familiar with them.

While I agree with you, I don't think that getting a console means simply a
couple games. There are more than just fighting games, and for those who
want to get into them, there are more than just a couple of those. lol

Well as for buying the computer not necessarily. Voc Rehab might have paid
for that and the screen reader. As for buying IPads and IPhones but not
consoles, that's a differet stor since there's a lot you ca do with one of
those. But I've never been one to buy a console just for one or two games.
That would be like buying an entire CD just for one song, although I suppose
with ITunes that's less of a problem nowadays.
