Along these same lines, I would like to find one that has games that are playable with absolutely no sighted assistance from start to finish. Finding and starting the games, knowing what the target is and when and where to aim or shoot rather than just shooting wildly in all directions and

Hi Charles, Unfortunately, I don't know of any mainstream console like that. All of them require some sighted assistance when you are starting out. Even if it is just to have someone read off the menus so you can braille them up for later reference and things like that. However, as been said

Hi Tony, Well, in terms of number of playable games I'd still say your best bet would be the Play Station 2. However, those are rapidly being replaced by the Play Station 3, and I'm not sure exactly how many PS3 games are playable from a low vision/blind standpoint. MK verses DC is, and a few

well I know that a load of game play stuff was done for games on the ps1 ps2 and ps3 as well as a few on the psp, xbox xbox360 and some of the nintendo systems. Right now though as I am going away soon I only have enough working to run the laptop and check mail. At 07:10 a.m. 20/11/2010, you

Okay. To charles and Tony, there aren't going to be games where you can just pick up and play without getting menus read to you. And as Tom already said, classic arcade shooters like that have pretty much vanished off the earth in modern day games. However, in terms of playable games, I would

Hi, And I'd also like to add, if this hasn't been said already, that the games that we can play require a lot of time, practice, and a good deal of doing things from memory. For example, since menus don't speak you might write it down, braille it up, etc but sooner or later you are going to just

Good thing there are training modes in every fighting game you pick up... but one more thing to add to what you said, Tom. A lot of it is memory and sound cues... but it's also important to keep track of where you are on the screen. This is why I'm a decent SF player... because I can bait my
