Hi Sandra,

The Pyramid is a great game to demonstrate as it has so many fantastic 
accessibility features all in one game. Very unusually, it has a zooming 
mode, that enables the user to magnify the on-screen action. Have a look 
here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lu22eAQPA0 for a demo which should 
help a bit.

Like the sound of the interactive drama you mentioned. I know WARP wrote 
such a game in the late 1990's released only in Japan for the Saturn and 
Dreamcast. Wish there were more of these games, especially for the likes of 
the iPod (not my idea - remember Richard talking about it years ago).

Cheers,

Barrie
