[games_access] Accessibility Idol and other GDC Sessions!

[Barrie Ellis]

Accessibility Idol and other GDC Sessions!Fantastic, Michelle! Great line up, of hopefully sympathetic experienced developers. Let's see how far sympathy stretches into know how.

By the way, I loved Noah's Sini-star (Williams Electronics) as a kid, but my God, the second wave was tough. I'm sure he'd put his hands up and say that game wasn't very accessible, very quickly. But that was 1982, and things have come such a long way in the mainstream (cough, splutter, excuse me).

  Hi all,


  To break the suspense...here are the contestants for Accessibility Idol!


  * Ernest Adams http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Rollings_and_Ernest_Adams_on_Game_Design)
  * Noah Falstein (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah_Falstein)
  * Sheri Graner Ray (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheri_Graner_Ray)
  * Brenda Brathwaite (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brenda_Brathwaite)
  * Ellen Guon Beeman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellen_Beeman)


  Now Brenda will not be at the session live due to travel snafus but she is sending in a pinch hitter to present her design. :)
