Hi Dark, I can agree in part with those who want newer accessible games based on newer mainstream games, but that kind of thinking can get a developer in hot water if he or she does allot of that. I mean I'd love to play a good remake of Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, and more of our hottest titles, but if we do it for the blind community it has to be done in such a way that it doesn't stomp on to many major companies toes. Copyrights is a very real problem here in the U.S. and getting to close to the original can get an accessible developer in big trouble. It has to be done like GMA did with Doom. SOD is close enough to doom to be cool, but not close enough to be a real outright copyright issue. However, that said some older games such as Space Invaders, Packman, and Montezuma's Revenge have been cloned by many developers, and the companies owning those copyrights seam to turn a blind eye to it. So reproducing older games seams to be safer course for the ag dev community at the moment.
