Sorry for my late response on this, the topic was just brought to my
attention today.
I would just like to thank Eleanor, Cynthia and the rest of the gang
at 7128 for being open minded about their process and making changes to
their list this year, allowing Blind Adrenaline to be listed in the top 25..
Also, to Dark's point, the information about Blind Adrenaline being
inactive since 2009 is completely my fault.
Cynthia had emailed me about a week ago asking if there were any
changes that needed to be made to my listing, and I was out of town and
unable to keep up with my email.
It is true we're very active however, and in fact our dice game Yacht
is up for game of the year voting at Blind Bargains website:
http://blindbargains.com/awardvote11.php
You can go to that site and vote on several categories for accessible
awards of the year, including accessible game of the year.
While I am shamelessly self promoting here, if you want to check out
Yacht, you can play for free for 30 days, and we have two yacht
tournaments every week with our custom designed tourney software, each
monday at 8 PM eastern and Wednesday at 3 PM eastern. Its a very
popular event.

Hi eleanor.
nice list indeed, it's particularly good to see some sites like
driftwood and Aprone's get a mention as they deserve.
There are however a couple of points.
firstly, Paulosoft, the makers of airik the clerric have changed their
name and their site to www.breakerbox.games. com. they have also (as of
december of last year), released another game, a cartoon 3D cutesy spy
adventure called Curt wolf which has graphics and mouse control but is
also fully audio accessible. I haven't tried it yet myself, but it
sounds awsome. so you might want to either change that entry, or at the
least update the link so that people don't get a 404.
Also, though Blind adrenaline itself in terms of it's site and rail
racer haven't been updated sinse 2009, work goes on constantly on the
cardroom with weekly tournaments and other events. Just this year Yacht,
the game best known as Yahtzee was added, along with the omahar varient
of Texus holdem poker. i also think Spades was added earlier in the year
too. So it is in a very different state to say Draconis that really
hasn't! shown any life sinse 2009.
then, Nielsbauer actually have two acessible games, sinse smugglers 3 is
also accessible. They are however tyring to get interest in their
Empires and dungeons game, and if they get enough from the eyeball
defficient community they will make an access mode for it, so you might
want to put a more prominant announcement on there.
Lastly, not that it particularly matters, but the audiogames.net db is
actually up to 392 games now, though sinse that'll probably be going up
this week as I add some pages that isn't a major factor, I just thought
I'd mention it :d.
I'm actually looking forward to the big 400, which hopefully should be
soon.
Beware the grue!
dark.

Subject: [Audyssey] 2012 Top 25 List for Gamers who are Blind
Hi gamers
Our Top 25 Lists for 2012 have been published. In response to the
comments made on Audyssey, we revised our criteria and have added a
listing of online games. Although we don't feel we can adequately rank
them, we listed them in one location so people who want to try online
games can know where to go.
The ranking criteria can be found at the end of the page. We adhere to
the criteria, and where it appears that a website is not in the order
you would expect, try to explain the reason they are in that location.
It is a lot of work, but we feel we add value in our analysis of the
sites and their offerings as well as giving you an easy way to get
directly to the best sites for gamers who are blind.
Please check the list out at our website, www.7128.com and select the
Top 25 button at the bottom of the page. Enjoy!
