Do remember it, and, yup, people just need to know about these things.
Unfortunately, the other issue is it's something people generally seem to
think is impossible to comprehend, etc.
Most sighted guys I've worked on a computer in front of seemed to initially
think it was some form of hoax etc., and when you mention games to either
sighted guys, or even most other VI computer users, they also seem to have
not even considered it as possibly existing...LOL!
I've tried promoting websites like audiogames.net on my small mailing list,
and have a link to it on my website, but still, have only really found
around 3 other guys this side who really seem to be into gaming as such, and
you get other guys who are relatively technical on computers, but who never
thought of looking for games as such.
Stay well

HI Tom and all
Sorry, I came into this thread rather late.
I just want to say that I am planning to arrange with a south African radio
station, rsg, to do a show on accessible games.]
If willem and Jacob listens to rsg, they will probably remember
5"leefwêreld van die gestremdes"
In English, living world of the disabled held on Sunday afternoons.
It would rock if I can do a show on there about accessible games.
And I will definitely talk about some awesome developers such as tom and
phil and philip.
Then blind people and also sighted people in the whole of south Africa who
listens to rsg, will be made aware about accessible games.

Hi Dark,
Well, at this point I'm not sure how much actual advertising we need. I
think the big picture, as has been said before, is to get the word out
that good high quality games exist. By showing off game x and letting a
few blind people try them, perhaps let their friends and family see
them, etc it might make a difference in letting people know that this
stuff exists and it doesn't need to remain in the backwater of the
galaxy forever. It is time we make ourselves known to more and more
people, agencies for the blind, and break out of this apathetic rut we
have fallen into.
