The unfortunate truth is, that I doubt that mainstream games
will ever support accessibilty to blind gamers. There is
simply no money to be made here. The number of blind people
who would buy such games is way too small to justify the
effort for them.
Video games are developed and played for the
Frankly the public does not care if a blind person is able
to play video games, so the media interest would be non
existent. I think you'd get more media attention if you
partioned to car developers complaining about not being able
to drive then you do if you complain about video game

Personally I think George Lucas did the same thing with Indianna Jones in
the fourth movie. I personally felt it wasn't that good. Even the

Hi,
Well, I personally liked Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, but that's
beside the point. I do agree with you that after a while anything can be
over done. The trick with any author or game designer is to know when to
cut the series short and begin creating something else.

Exactly and that is a shame. You guys do a great deal of
keeping a lot of blind gamers very happy with your products,
sadly most of the regular games are going to be off limits
to us.
Lol, about the cars. Being blind myself but still kind of
shudder at the prospective of blind car drivers all over
Hi Ryan,
Good point. That is one issue I briefly touched upon in my interview
with Game Spot last night. Fact of the matter is while there are several
games that might be improved accessibility wise there will always be
some types of games that can and never will be made accessible.
Hi folks,
Does anybody know of an accessible, preferably free or cheap, utility
