[games_access] Lucky-dip of Accessibility Links

[Barrie Ellis]

That's great news, Steve! Good work getting Apple to take some notice. 

Here's a little lucky-dip of accessibility links for everyone...

http://www.gamebase.info/videos/view/impulse-switch_308.html - Nice video from SpecialEffect's Gamebase of a muscle switch being used with one-switch games.

http://gameaccessibility.blogspot.com/2010/01/handheld-audiogame-bandai-mousou.html - Bandai handheld audiogames (remakes of Xevious, Street Fighter II and a baseball game).

http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?board=32.0 - Over 20 games announced for the Gamma IV one-button competition. Some fantastic looking efforts in there.

Hello fellow SIG members,

 

I'm writing you today to let you know about a very cool article that was published on Apple.com.  In their review of Dragon age online, Apple placed a box in the top right-hand corner titled "Accessible Adventures."

 

"AbleGamers named Dragon Age: Origins its 2009 Accessible Game of the Year, noting: "What makes this title so exceptional is the level of options given to the gamer to choose their level of accessibility."'

 

To see the article check out http://www.apple.com/games/articles/2010/01/dragonage/

 

This is a wonderful achievement for the accessible gaming movement!  We were so enamored to see such a mainstream institution recognized the importance of accessibility in gaming. I'm personally thrilled to have the accessibility award even mentioned by Apple, let alone to call out accessibility so prominently, makes me proud to do what we do.  

 

Thank you for your time,

 

Steve Spohn
