[games_access] Games to Demo Physical / Sensory / Cognitive Impairments

[Thomas Westin]

Hi Brannon

visual: 
3D games: Terraformers (www.terraformers.nu) or AudioQuake (http://www.agrip.org.uk/download/)
and of course audiogames.net
I recently published an extensive post mortem of Terraformers
http://people.dsv.su.se/~thomasw/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/terraformers-postmortem.pdf

hearing:
- Half-life 2 with closed captions on
- Doom3[CC] mod - it is a bit tricky to get the right version for the mod to work, ping me offlist if you need assistance
and of course deafgamers.com


Best wishes,
Thomas

For example, I'd like to find a game that is incredibly reliant on sound and then have individuals play with the sound off. As another example, it would be great to find a game that I can modify the visual settings such to mimic someone with color blindness or macular degeneration.
