Hi, Are you thinking of maccessibility.net? They're still around, as far as I know. Their podcasts have made for very interesting listening over the past while. I agree, a compendium of accessible games for the Mac would be very nice. There are quite a few for the iPhone, but the closest thing to a compendium for the Mac I know if is the Mac section of www.pcsgames.net. THere is, naturally, a much larger Windows section. Unfortunately, my own search for accessible games for Mac has been largely fruitless thus far. I'll keep the list posted if I find anything. Best, Zack.
