[games_access] Games for Health

[AudioGames.net]

Hi,

Yes, I too am too overbooked this year :) However, if anyone wants some 
examples of 'games for health' than I got some examples laying around 
(somewhere!) here (such as Gasp, a video game in which you play a pearl 
diver who has to retrieve as many pearls as possible in just one dive. The 
game is controlled by a breath controller and thus the true challenge is the 
player's respiration and lung capacity. The game can be used for training 
purposes for people with astma and hyperventilation...

Greets,

Richard
