Eleanor,
Looking over the lists on your web site, I think it's appropriate to
recommend the Alter Aeon web site. Alter Aeon is a multiplayer MUD
server, and over half of our playerbase is blind. Right now, there's
40 people logged in with the blind-mode features enabled.

Hi ya,
I'd like to nominate Blind Adrenaline for your list of the best
gaming web sites:
www.blindAdrenaline.com
We have 10 games for the blind that are played over the internet,
with interfaces designed specifically for screenreaders. our card and
yahtzee games are hands down the most fully featured available for the
blind, and the only card site with a built in system allowing
tournaments to be held every day of every week in one game or another, a
feature most players really dig.
We have extensive audio tutorials to get beginners going, and a very
easy and quick setup procedure to get rolling quick.
Our prices are half that of All in Play, the other accessible
commercial card game site, we have more games, and we have more
features per game. We keep our prices reasonable, because we know
budgets are strainged out there.
Also, players are allowed to play free for a full month to try the games
out and see what they think when they register a new account.
Best of all, we have a thriving community of folks that enjoy getting
together to play, chat, and share some fun. We've raised money for
various charities in the past, and hope to continue to do so in the
future.
Thanks for your consideration.

Actually che, Blind adrenaline was! on last years list, just in the
recommended sites bit under the top 25 list, see
http://www.7128.com/top25/topsitesblind.html
so it'll likely be reviewed this year too.
I also agree with Dennnis. Altereon, especially with the mush client
soundpack could actually be considdered as a fully audio rpg rather than a
standard text mmorp, sinse the access in the game, level of textual
descriptions and interaction with the soundpack goes beyond just "making a
mud accessible" and as far as developing a game for everyone. That's why
it's got an entry on audiogames.net specifically, (I actually need to get
back on the game myself :D).
As to other sites, first is Aprone's games on
http://www.kaldobsky.com/audiogames/
Aprone aka Jeremy Kaldobski discovered audio games in late 2010, and has
done a staggering amount sinse then, particularly in creating unusual
games
that explore genres and ideas not tried in audio.
These include the rapidly developing first ever mouse aiming online zombi
shooter swamp, Castaways, a very detailed military and settlement stratogy
game with online cooperative or pvp play, Lunimals, a detailed eco system
management simulation, Daytona an arcade game with ful mouse movement,
towers of war, the first tower defense game in audio, and indeed Dog who
hates ttoast, a random litle word game.
He also makes various other useful litle programs, like one to turn your
keyboard into a brailler, or a colour identifyer for use with digital
cameras, so imho deffinately deserves a place.
Another is driftwood games, http://www.blind-games.com/
this is the home of Entombed, the first, and stil largest and most complex
audio role playing game. Random generating passages of a massive dungeon,
a
complex battle system, more character choices than are concieveable and a
huge amount of replay value. it even has it's own mailing list
administrated
by muggins. Like sound rts, it's a very revolutionary audio game.
Then there is Paulosoft on http://pawlosoft.webs.com/ they are also a
very new developer just started this year, and have made the first
action/rpg game in the manner of Zelda. you play as Airik the clerric and
explore a vast Kingdom, collecting christals to increase your abilities.
the game has hopefully good voice acting to tell the story.
They are intent on making Airik into a series with an ongoing story, and
indeed are very interested in access in mainstream games.
Hth.
Beware the grue!
dark.

ah, that might explain why my download link isn't actually downloading
anything as of yet.
Honestly, I'm really looking forward to experiencing the full game.

The z key only tells you th altitude, it doesn't really change it. Keep
trying!
In the demo map there is only one aircraft, and is to the North compared
to
your position.
The main differences between the demo and the full release is that in the
full release you get to play 8 missions with briefing and objectives, 8
map
(of which one is completely random generated, that is, is different every
time you play it) in which you can do whatever you want (much like the
demo
map, but with a lot of enemy airports genating air and land traffic),
you'll be able to use all the four missiles and customize the cargo of
your
aircraft.

when i take off can't seem to climb pressing down arrow is sending my
nose
up i know that, but i can't get the z key to make altitude climb. also i
just seem to be flying around aimlessly in the free flight mode is this
where no enemies are concerned?
what will be the difference between option 2, map mode, and option 3,
free
flight, if i buy the game?
also the overlapping announcements are confusing to be honest.
