Hi Dark, Yeah, no kidding. Even when I could see, before I lost my sight, world 8 was possitively evil to play. It was pretty difficult even with vision, and I've tried it a few times without sight and its pretty much impossible.
However, for the low vision aspect I'd agree with you on that. The game did have good contrast, everything was easy enough to see, but the greencolored blood always threw me for a loop. The dripping blood and pools of blood looked like something Slimer from Ghost Busters left behind. Lol! I mean I understand to a point why they replaced the naked statues with statues in robes to sensor the game for younger American audiences and stuff, but changing the color of the blood to look like green slime was absolutely rediculous. I realise they were trying to tame down the gory graphics and atmosphere, but it just looked silly instead of gory. "Ug...Let's have enough of this religious/political sensorship crap." Anyway, you are right on about developing the Genesis Engine so I can create more analog platformers that are like Megaman, Castlevania, and so on. To date there just isn't anything like it for the audio games market. I can't wait until I get MOTA out and can work on games like Castlevania etc myself. Cheers!
