Appreciated for the reply, my bad with the spelling mistake I should have got it right to since you referred to it as mk in the original post too, MC just wouldn't sound the same! well I've played a lot of main stream games before I lost my sight so already have a fairly good understanding of them and how they work but just guess I'd never really considered trying to play them without sight. I think I'm going to dig out my PS2 and tekken and give it a go.

There is a Wii game for the blind! I don't know how best to explain it. Certainly it requires practice but if you're willing to make that effort you can get the hang of it. And just a slight correction, it's Kombat with a K, not Combat with a C. I'm not sure of the reasons behind the spelling but that's what it is. I suppose it's different for me because i'd played nothing but mainstream games my whole life before discovering audio games. Needless to say I was extremely disappointed at the simplicity of a lot of games. NOthing in the style of Metroid or Zelda (although Airik the Cleric is a nice representation of the latter).
