Hi Dark,
Well, I can't say about the U.K. but here in the U.S. I've heard a few
sighted people sling the term blink around a few times. I believe the
first time I heard it I was in Junior High and a sighted person used
it, and in a rather insulting way. So it is not exactly a fun,

Hi Charles,
That was basically my point. An accessible example of the kind of
thing I'm talking about is ESP Whoop Ass. Obviously, that game is far
simplar than the mainstream fighting games, but a similar concept
applies here. In Whoop Ass you hear the punch coming from the left,
right, or center
Thanks. You made sense. A game designed for the blind came immediately to
mind as I heard your description. Some of the mainstream games would sound
like a more realistic, very much more advanced version of the fight in the

All very wel said, Tom. Having read that, I know that fighting games
aren't for everyone. But for the curious, it is a good place to
