I aggree with you raul.
In fact I am going to try to get a bopit download or something for my
birthday it really does kill time and with the physical knobs.
It's interesting the 100 plus messages on this topic. Even though
I'm totally blind, I'm not turned off by the idea of playing a
mainstream game. It's not a given that a blind person can't fully
enjoy a game designed for the sighted. Throwing out the examples of
console games, let's take a simple game like, oh, umm, Bop-It.
Whether you get this game as an app in your iPhone or iPod Touch, or
whether you have the hand-held version, no where does it
specifically say that's it's specifically for blind people. So those
of you who say you don't like to be reminded about what you have
lost or what you don't have, does that mean you wouldn't enjoy
Bop-It just because it's not called Bop-It for the Blind?
Another example is Dominos. Again, the same question applies. There
are many different Domino games one can play, and again, it's not
called Dominos for the Blind. How about Connect 4? Checkers? Chess?
Poker? 5000 plus more card games? None of those are specifically for the blind.
Bottom line, and yes, I know this is just an opinion, and like
bodily orifices, everyone has one, is that games are games. Pure and
simple, nothing more, nothing less. If the game is playable by me
personally, whether I have to modify it a little or memorize a
sequence of things to do, then I'll play it.
Many thanks.
