I mentioned in passing that I had thought about doing an apache simulator, but that was on hold for now, so I'm not really sure why he mentioned that. He also left out my comments about the card games and how they can be played online between the blind and sighted together. I'm sure we all mentioned a lot of things in the interviews that didn't get included, but I promise I tried, hehehe. I agree the article focused too much on playing mainstream games and not enough on the games designed for the blind, but still overall it is a positive thing to have out there.

Re: [Audyssey] Gamespot artical on Blind accessible games
Hi guys, I had actually mentioned to Mathew that there were now a few flight simulators of varying degree out there, from puppy from Jim Kitchen, to the accessible effort with FS 2004 as well as 3d velocity. I mentioned in passing that I had thought about doing an apache simulator, but that was on hold for now, so I'm not really sure why he mentioned that. He also left out my comments about the card games and how they can be played online between the blind and sighted together. I'm sure we all mentioned a lot of things in the interviews that didn't get included, but I promise I tried, hehehe. I agree the article focused too much on playing mainstream games and not enough on the games designed for the blind, but still overall it is a positive thing to have out there.

Re: [Audyssey] Gamespot artical on Blind accessible games
The auther contacted audiogames.net a couple of weeks ago, i spoke to him and pointed him in the direction of other hopefully useful people. this is the first I've heard of Che's chopper game myself (though I admit I haven't been paying loads of attention to the list lately), and I'm guessing that it just came up when he talked with che. remember, this wasn't intended as an exhaustive catalogue of all the milestones in audiogames, - it missed many other points such as audio quake, muds, terraformers and many other important developements, - but a general informational and overview artical for sited gamers.

Re: [Audyssey] Gamespot artical on Blind accessible games
That was in fact one of the main purposes of the artical and something the author was interested in during our interview, - understandable, as gamespot is a site primarily about mainstream games. there was however I believe sufficient mention to show people that yes, audiogames do exist and are being developed, - even if comparatively few were mentioned.

Re: [Audyssey] Gamespot artical on Blind accessible games
Yep che, I had the same experience during the interview, I tried to give as much information as possible to matthew, but comparatively litle of it made it through, Stil, I agree it's much better to have this out there, and with the links hopefully audio games will also get publicity as well.

I mentioned in passing that I had thought about doing an apache simulator, but that was on hold for now, so I'm not really sure why he mentioned that. He also left out my comments about the card games and how they can be played online between the blind and sighted together. I'm sure we all mentioned a lot of things in the interviews that didn't get included, but I promise I tried, hehehe. I agree the article focused too much on playing mainstream games and not enough on the games designed for the blind, but still overall it is a positive thing to have out there.
