How do you figure that the bowling is accessible? You cannot tell what pins are left after your first ball, you can't tell where you are aiming, and you don't know your score. To me, you need vision to play the game. You cannot play if without help from correctly functioning eyes. (grin)

I've played the bowling as a sighted person, and I gotta say that it really doesn't matter if your eyes are open or not. In fact, it's probably more helpful to have them closed, because no matter what you see with your eyes or how you try to line things up, it's it doesn't seem to make any

If that were true, you could score 300 with a good swing from anywhere, which doesn't make sense to me. If you leave a 7 pin and aim for the 10 pin, even with a perfect swing of the arm, you should miss. And if you don't know what to aim for, you're stuck. -- If guns kill people, writing

I've noticed it depends how the pins behave. I've gotten absolutely perfect swings and yet it still didn't result in a strike. Still it's a lot of fun. And anyway that's the sort of game, to me at least, that's more fun to play withothers anyway. On 2/1/2013 1:57 PM, Charles Rivard wrote: If

@sarah actually no you don't need any assistance for that menu, because 1 you know when you're pointing at something because there is the click sound and the wii mote vibrates 2 if you click on the wrong channel you can use the + and minus buttons to switch channels til you find the game channel,

I notice that you say that you have to try to find the correct game and to try to find the start button. To me, the hunt and peck method of finding what you want is very undesirable. If you could raise or lower the triggering device to the top or bottom and count clicks from a known

With the bowling you can count the number of clicks. If you are a write handed bowler three clicks to the write is usually in the middle. As Charles rightly said it becomes in accessible when you've had your first bowl as if you don't get a strike first time then clearly you won't know what's

They may not be accessible in te same way that audio games are but they're still very much playable. I myyself have broken 200 in Wii Sports Bowling on more than one occasion. I did have to have sighted help on those occasions whenI didn't get a strike the first time, but as I said I find
