Problem is Lori, it would be breaking laws if you used Mario or other
copyrighted characters. That's what happened with Thomas two years ago when
he was about to release Montezuma's Return. And that's the Nintendo Wii, not
an actual computer.

Actually what gets me so angery is I've tried joining in with sighted
games on my sister's computer. It's a Nintendo, one of the ones with
games where you've to move around. I can only really do the bolling game
because when you get s strick it will say "Great shot!" or something like
that, same for if you get a half. Also there's sounds of skittles falling
and my family tell me how many I get down. I've won games on it and it's
great playing with my sister and friends, but to be honest I wish it was
accessible for the blind with talking menus and everything. There's
another game called "Marrio Car" It's really fast, I think the idea is to
drive a car around avoiding other cars picking up boxs, avoiding
electricity and get bonus objects. I don't think it'd be breaking any
laws to make it accessible for the blind, or any other visual game for
that matter. If someone stops you just get them with the disability
discrimination act. We have as much right to have fun as any sighted
person. Just my own thoughts, and I'm not a political person, just
believe in the blind ruling the world. <Smile>

I'm sure most people would like that as well. Problem is that our
developers are one, two or at most three-man operations generally, so
those more serious games would probably quite literally take years to
code. And, as has often been pointed out, one really has to be careful
when writing games since you have to be sure you don't use copyrighted
material since there's no guarantee you won't get caught by the developer
and get slapped with a Cease and Desist order as Thomas did. I mean it's
another matter if the developer has taken the same route that IdSoft did
with the original Quake, which is why we have Audio Quake, but if not
it's best not to take chances. You could certainly base your game on one
of your favorites so long as you didn't use the characters.

My first audio game was Battle ship back in 2000, after losing my eye
sight I was going crazy knowing this market was available; although I'm
grateful for the audio game market my thirst for gaming hasn't been
quenched; I was a Madden, NBA Live, Tyson punch out, Die Hard, Mortal
Combat ect...player; Audio games tends to stick to kids type games, and
not more adult/real life games like GTA or even Star Wars; Allot of us
have been around since the start of the gaming revolution and has played
systems such as Coleco vision, Atari, Sega and Nintendo, and has played
hundreds of games; I know and hope audio games will pick up it's pace as
technology improves, but I anxiously wait for some more serious game
titles that will expand the adult audio gamers mind and appetite. I
would love to fly that fighter jet again, go on realistic adventures
without goblins and ghost's, and seriously play a good Football game and
finally lead my EAGLES to The Super Bowl..LOL.. Thanks
