[games_access] List for accessible games

[John Morgan]

Exactly! I guess that games/educational software developers haven't figured out yet that if they make them for use of ALL would also bring in revevue. Just do it to include ALL in the first place. I can only adapt a game just so far before the user loses independence!

I think Barrie (correct me if I'm wrong Barrie!) means AAA titles when he says mainstream (ie, games packaged for retail sales at places like target, best buy, etc). Those are the ones that are least likely to have considered disabled gamers and are the ones a lot of us are fighting to change. Not a commentary on your games! Just saying that there's an important distinction -- the big industry titles are what gets a lot of requests for accessibility because gamers want equal access to big consumer titles.

these are mediocre times and people are 
losing hope. it's hard for many people 
to believe that there are extraordinary 
things inside themselves, as well as 
others. i hope you can keep an open 
mind.
