That's why, to get a little bit off topic here (and for that I apologize in
advance), I don't like a lot of the voc rehab agencies in the US. They teach
their clients to use JAWS, which in itself is all well and good. Where the
problem lies is that they don't necessarily let said clients know that there
are in fact other options available even if they do know about them. I got
the vocal equivalent of a raised eyebrow from my rehab counselor when I told
her I'd switched over to Window-Eyes and have been quite happy with it now
for about four years. And I've gotten quite a bit more than a vocal raised
eyebrow from others, both in voc rehab and not, as though I'd committed some
inexcusable transgression. So I've experienced some of what Dark has.
They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!

This is where getting the word out about what's available come in. On the
other hand, if an organization has a closed mind, and they ignore anything
that does not fit their? concepts of what blind people can and cannot do,
there's a problem, and it's not up to the game developers to solve. It's
up to professionals and customers, and here's what I think is the key, who
know what they're talking about through hands-on experience, to work on
opening the closed minds. For an organization to deny, through ignorance,
the existence of developer's products that do not fit into their mold of
blind people is reprehensibly inexcusable.

Hi Jeremy.
To answer your question, Azabat's aime of providing games for computer
novices is not made expressly clear on the site, though it does appearr
in their faq and other documentation, see http://www.azabat.co.uk/ to see
for yourself.
This issue however is compounded by the fact that according to the Rnib,
azabat are the only! company producing audio comptuer games, indeed what
brought Azabat back to my mind was that the lady doing guide dog training
at the same time I am, ---- who worked as a professional programmer and
database designer before losing her site was asking about audio computer
games and told only Azabat existed, and was indeed quite frustrated sinse
she was previously a pretty high capacity gamer.
I know the company Gamevial based in scotland were told a very similar
thing when they initially asked the Rnib about making some of the web
flash games they make accessible, ---- indeed until I phoned them and had
words they didn't even think anyone had attempted audio games that moved
from a first person perspective, ---- though being as they had quite
limited exposure from the Rnib and from others thought that the
experiment they tried failed.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
