Sound RTS and Audio Quake work, but they require some hackery to get running correctly. Nothing like install and run.
You're mainly going to get small games that people make in their spare time, or else ports from Windows. Trying to support yourself by selling accessible games on Windows is a serious challenge due to the tiny market, and there are even fewer blind people using Macs, so that is why there aren't any big titles for the Mac. In the past, most accessible games on Windows have been written in Visual Basic and C# (using .Net). Those are strictly Windows dev environments, and can't be easily ported. People used them at the time cause there was a lot of help for newbie programmers, and the IDEs worked well with a screen reader. There really aren't any technical advantages to using those environments, though. In the future, people will hopefully use languages like Python that port without huge effort.
