I'd also say there is
Tank Commander, Night of parasite, Shockwave the SOD like game.  The piball 
would surely be action.  Just a few off the top.

Troopanum 2
Alien Outback which is more or less the same thing... but with a little more

Other than that, accessible games kind of run out of that span... but if
she's interested in video gaming, she has a better selection there.

2009-01-30 Thread djc
Hello. I've been a gamer for a long time and I suggest Jim Kitchen's
excellent games to start with. They are all freeware and all our
outstanding. If she decides she enjoys them then I'd suggest the shareware
developers such as pcgames, bsgames, blindadrenaline, usagames, l-works and
many other free and commercial great titles. I've been on the net since
1990 and up until about 10 years ago we as blind people didn't hardly have
any titles to play. I think all the game developers have done an
outstanding job for us and I make sure to buy as many titles as possible in
order to support their work.

Good morning Lindsay, from Ron Kolesar.
For starters. Why not check out Jim Kitchen's games. Jim's games are all 
windows games and they're free.
But also check out the games from BSC Games as well.
Their address is
www.bscgames.com
So there's a couple of companies to get your friend started.
Hope that helps

Hi Lindsay,
Depends on your friends interests. I'd say for action titles Aliens in 
the Outback, Troopenum, Pipe, etc would be a good start.

Re: [Audyssey] Advice needed.

2009-01-29 Thread Scott Chesworth
Hey Lindsay,

I'm guessing if it was obvious she was going to turn out as a mudder
or liking a specific genre then you wouldn't be asking. If she's got
no clue what will float her boat, I'd say Super Deekout would be a
good start. There's not tons of sounds or controls to learn, she'll
get the hang of homing in on items as well as avoiding them (switching
between doing those two can be an absolute brain buster for new
gamers), and above all it's utterly pointless and infuriatingly
addictive... just what games should be lol.
