It would be a start toward having something sort of like what sighted people
are using, although these titles are quite old. Like I say, though, it
would be a start. I know it would be too early to probably know, but what
about hardware and software updates to make the console able to be played by
both blind and sighted gamers on an equal basis? The games for sighted
gamers would be far in the future, and, by that time, we would still be left
in the dust. Even so, I think I would be interested, particularly in sports
games, trivia games, and strategy games that are totally blind friendly.

Subject: [Audyssey] Consoles (was Re: my frustration with the blind
gamingcomunity.)
Speaking of console games.
Would there be any interest in a console built with the blind gamer in
mind?
I have access to something that could easily be turned into a console with
games built from scratch that could easily be played by blind and visually
impaired users.
There would be games like asteroids, space invaders, and the like.
(yes, all your old favorites) built for a console, and completely
accessible.
I could do this, but I'd have to know there would be an interest for such
a thing.
The consols would cost roughly $200, and the games would be on cartridges
just i like the cartridge systems out there now.
And, a developer kit could be sold so others could develop games as well.
It would plug into your tv, (not your computer) but it would be a true
console system, and would be as acessible as I could make it.
With the cost of the initial console and programming hardware and such
though, it couldn't really sell for less than 200, and even then, I'd only
be making $31 on a sale, which really isn't much all things considered.
But, I'd do it if there would be an interest in such things, as I believe
it would be a great thing to have a console system we could play
ourselves.
Anyone else interested?
