Hi dakota.
In terms of access that is indeed my eventual plan, I do hope to be able to
do for the Iphone some of the things I've done in terms of access for
audiogames.net, ie, be able to look at different games and suggest access
improvements to interested developers, then list the games on the db.
However, obviously I will need to acquire a good working knolidge of voice
over in order to be able to do that, so that I can have a better idea of
what does or does not work in access terms, hence why I'm looking for games
to play to help me familiarize myself with the system, as ultimately simply
playing with the default os menues and functions can only go so far.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

One thing about the iPhone that I've found is that it's hard to
predict what apps will and won't be accessible.
For example, I'm playing my very first social game, that is a game
where I'm really connected with friends in a ranking system, called
ErnCon. It's not particularly accessible during gameplay, and there
are a few issues, but it works surprisingly well.
I'm not necessarily recommending it to you, only saying that there are
many apps that are surprisingly accessible, and many developers, such
as the fellow who makes ErnCon, who want their app to be more
accessible because the more people who play it, the more money he
makes off upgrades ad such.
There are, of course, many apps which are totally inaccessible, and
some that look accessible are, up to a frustrating point, such as the
app The Void, which I tried the other day.
I suggest that you do start by visiting Applevis, but also feel free
and empowered to just go into the store and play around, and if you do
want to try ErnCon, my GameCenter id is GamerCane.
Good luck and good hunting.

Hi Dark,
I have downloaded many games for the Iphone and recommend one called
Dimentions, or maybe that is an S rather than a t. A good place to get
started is http://www.applevis.com There you will find many categories
of
apps to use. Also there are many podcasts on how to make use of many of
the
apps available.
Also Accessible Mine Sweeper, Tap the mole are very simple games. I was
trying to remember a game somewhat like battle ship but can't think of
what
it is.
Good Luck.

Hi.
As people will know, my Iphone is turning up this afternoon. I think I
know what I am doing with setup and such, but I would be interested in
people's recommendations for games.
the thing that taught me most about using supernova particularly on the
net, was actually playing games like Legend of the green dragon and
ashes
of angels. i suspect vo is the same, and I do know there is a learning
curve, however to make learning a little more pleasant and give me some
incentive, are there games people could recommend with a fairly simple
interface?
king of dragon pass looks amazing, and I really look forward to trying
it,
however the fact that it seems to take a little bit of wangling to play
probably doesn't make it ideal as a first game for vo practice.
how about silver sword? how about gamebooks? is the lost cities card
game
relatively straight forward in terms of controls?
I know there is a training area, but as I've found in the past nothing
is
better for learning than just rolling up my sleeves and doing, and
nothing
is more fun to do on a computer than play games!
so, I'd very much appreciate people's suggestions and thoughts here.
I did! load up safari during my play with an Iphone and attempt to
brouse
audiogames.net, but that didn't go exactly smoothly.
Any thoughts?
all the best,
dark.
