Hi Richard I also think a variety of games would be the best to show to the sighted devs that blind people desire to play all the same sortof, and are able to play the same games. I'd say for the more complex style of games that SCWW, GTC, andSOD are among the best for first person games. Monty, SL, and some of the Kitchen's inc games are great for demos due to the ease of keystrokes and gameplay. But I'd also not forget Ian, Draconus, Che, Sound RTS and so on. Again all in the name of showing that there is a broad spectrum of games and blind/vi people who play them.

Some gma games since they are very advanced. Some free games and some others. You could show them in comparison. Like Shades of Doom against Doom and talk about what differences the devs did to make the Gma game accessible. Yvonne Stressed out? Need to relax? Call Yvonne and schedule your massage today!
