 Hi.
 Well, I noticed I had an old handheld game laying around the house,
 don't know the name of it, but it is fully accessible.  Basicly, it asks
 you math questions like 5+5 and you enter the number in on a keypad much
 like a calculator. As you got better the math problems got harder. Was a
 cool game and as the problems got harder you were given less time to
 solve the problem kind of a cool game.

Hi, Ken.
No the speak and math wasn't what I was talking about, but for a long 
time I had one of those as well. I loved my speak and math growing up.
I use to play number stumper all the time, and had allot of fun playing 
it, but eventually I got to good at playing it. Grin.
Anyway, the handheld game I was talking up had three modes on it. You 
could pick colors, math, and I forget the other mode.

Hi,

i have a language master. it's a hand held gadget, which talks and is 
basically a dictionary, but has games on it too.
It can prove a lot of help with young people that are learning and provide 
hours of fun with the games. there's hang man and a game called word train, 
where you pick a letter and the computer picks one, and eventually you make 
up a word.
it's fairly expensive, but very useful. it has a querty keyboard, to make 
typing easier.

I miss playing with her but still have fun playing against the computer.

 Hi all,
 These days I am always iether giving computer programs, i.e games or
 applications, or CD's as presents to other blind friends, and am getting
 them in return. My brother gets all these cool things like an Atari,
 electronic hand-held Sudoku, or these other hand-held games.  This year I
 really want to find different ideas. Are their any accessible electronic
 games out their, or a game which can be accessible? I remember with the
 tamagochi craze, their were some of them that were actually quite 
 accessible
 because of the many sounds, it was just a case of you remembering the
 menues, and the interface was simple. what Another example is, one year, 
 my
 parents found this cool, fully-accessible talking battleship electronic
 game, which you can play against people and against the built-in computer,
 and sighted people even enjoyed it, since it was so hi-tech, had flashing
 lights and made many sounds, especially explosions! Even when their 
 weren't
 people to play against, I loved carrying it around and having games 
 against
 the computer. I found a thing on maxi aids, which said it was a Talking
 Chess Computer, but when I emailed, they said it wasn't really accessible
 for totally blind players. My friend also tried one, but she couldn't use 
 it
 since the computer's move only flashed on the display and was not spoken. 
 I
 also love fun puzzels and gadgets that do interesting things, and can keep 
 a
 person either busy or entertained, but can anyone recommend something that
 they enjoy doing, and that can be bought from Amazon or somewhere online? 
 Of
 course you get traditional bord games, which are made accessible for blind
 people, but that's not so cool since you can't play against a computer 
 when
 noone's their. I also heard of a talking, electronic Bop It, which is
 supposed to be fun, but has anybody tried this, and where could I buy it?

Hi, Ari.
The only games I play that are off the shelf products that are 
accessible are the bop it games. All of them are accessible to my knolege.
As for the battleship game I have that game, and I love it. I don't get 
much out of the lights, but the sound effects are cool for a stand alone 
game.
