well thats good tom but if this could progress to more advanced games
like shooters and such at least for sighted who knows.
those games for what they are are good to waste 30 mins of time but
not much more than that.
I usually pull these out when I can't be bothered playing audio games
with headphones like the time my ears got blocked.
For small time wasters they are good this way but for big time
wasters I guess if all games if all they did at least for text
output what was spoken to the screen even if they used sapi that
would work but I have no idea how to make things go.
We also need to get into screen readers doing the text like nvda more
as we can then use our synths and such and be sapi indipendant.
Which would make the games more portable.

Hi Shaun,
I agree the best of both worlds are highbred's like Destination Mars
or Dodge City Desperados precisely because they don't need lots of
graphics, are fully accessible using a screen reader, and still have
plenty of game sounds etc to qualify as an audio game. Interesting
enough I have been doing some research in this area, and I've noticed
a sighted gamer is more likely to sit down and play a game like
Atlantic City Blackjack which has text on screen rather than Jim
Kitchen's Blackjack which uses speech output. What I am beginning to
conclude is sighted people are really put off when there is nothing on
the screen to look at, they hate a black screen, but give them a bit
of text to read and they'll play it.So adding text will go a long ways
to giving sighted gamers something to look at instead of graphics.
Cheers!
