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

[Brannon Zahand]

Thanks to EVERYONE for the huge deluge of information! :) I'm in the process of sorting through all the mails now. Really appreciate the time you guys put into getting me all this stuff and I'll respond once I get all my demos figured out.

Take care,
Brannon

Hi Brannon

visual:
3D games: Terraformers (www.terraformers.nu<http://www.terraformers.nu>) or AudioQuake (http://www.agrip.org.uk/download/)
and of course audiogames.net<http://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<http://deafgamers.com>


Best wishes,
Thomas

As a follow up, something like http://ua-games.gr/game-over/downloads.html but specific to a single type of impairment...

I'm looking for one or two games that highlights the difficulties of playing with a specific disability. 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.

Overall, I'd like at least one game for Auditory, Speech, Visual, Physical, and Cognitive impairments each.

Thanks! :)

You are welcome to my PPT from Microsoft -- actually they said it would be on the internal servers at Microsoft. If they aren't, ping me offlist and I can send them to you.

Any particular disabilities you are interested in? That was a pretty widely cast net. :)

I've been asked to provide some demos to some of my teammates showing what it is like to game with a physical/sensory/cognitive impairment. Does anyone have a list of some and where I can find them? I used to know of a few a number of years ago but I can't seem to find them anymore.

Thanks,
Brannon
