Hi Thomas, The book, Ready Player One, is all about computer games in the future. The book, Heir Apparent, is about a teenaged girl who is playing a computer game in the near future and something goes wrong with the game. The book, The Manhattan Hunt Club, is about a man who is caught in a hunting game under the city of New York. That one, I grant you, is not about computer games, but the book is about how he has to get out of the game in which he has been thrown. I was quite pleased to hear about the Dream Park books from someone on the list. If I hadn't started the gaming novels thread I would never have heard about them.
Perhaps I don't understand what you mean by accessible games. Why are novels having to do with playing computer games not appropriate for the list? I did not know that people in England evidently do not have access to many of the books that we can read. So, very regretfully, I will not discuss books on this list again. I wonder how many more computer game books I will miss due to a lack of the discussion? Could you please let me know who sent the post about the Dream Park books so I can thank them off list? I have deleted many posts, including that one. Thanks.

That's why I flagged them as off topic, and asked everyone to take it off list. If the books are about gaming could you explain in what way they are related to accessible games? In general if there is a topic that you think may be off topic, or is questionable its always a good idea to e-mail the list moderators at [email protected] and ask us if its alright. If nothing else in a case like this where the relationship to accessible gaming isn't obvious to the reader it would help to give us a heads up so we don't flag it as off topic. Cheers!
