Hi Dark,
I tend to agree with you on that point. You are probably right, and
based on my own experience dealing with rehab centers and blind
agencies they tend to have over simplified notions of blindness. The

Hi,
I have to agree with you on that point. Accessible game developers have
pretty much over developed just about everything in the card and puzzle
variety except Mahjong. I've seen a number of accessible Solitaire
games, two or three versions of Monopoly, there is a couple versions of
Uno,
Hi Dark,
That would be a good idea. I recently reinstalled XP on the family
desktop PC to use as a all purpose gaming machine since a lot of games
won't run on Win 7 and/or Linux, and I grabbed the APH demos. I couldn't
get them to run right on XP either. However, as you say its no big loss.

There are actually several different variations of Mahjong with

It's possible that they had partially deaf gamers in mind, though nothing
like that is mentioned in the docs, and the way they seem so self
congratulatory about how accessible the games are to blind people I think
they probably would've.

concept as Mahjong. So there is one example of an accessible Mahjong

You mentioned a game called Mahjong solitare. Being a matching game for a

the rules of actual mahjong, though it's a little bad that aph claime! it to
be based on the ancient chinese game in their documentation.
Hi Dark,
You are probably right. I've never played Toodle Tiles myself, but by
the childish sounding name I seriously doubt it is anything like
Mahjong despite what their documentation says. APH always strikes me
as treating blind users as either extremely old, or just barely above
infantile. So

Hi Dark,
Hmmm...Good point.All of APH's games are aimed at young children, and
I don't believe they had older blind individuals like you and in mind.
Considering the possible age groupe for Tootle Tiles its probably a
simple or child's version of the game.

The core technique is similar. On your turn, you draw a tile from the

That makes two of us. I've never gotten the APH games to run either.
However, I do believe they were written several years ago, and don't
