In the 1980s, arcade manufacturers such as #Atari, #MidwayManufacturing and #WilliamsElectronics donated equipment to the tournaments for #PlayersWithDisabilities. They also supplied Gary with spare parts to build the custom mouth interface that his brother needed.

The path from 1980s #arcade and #pinball to today's multimillion-dollar mainstream #VideoGames is neither a straight line nor a story of constant improvement for #PeopleWithDisabilities. Some game genres came and went, as did some game companies. Players with disabilities were #gaming all along, but it wasn't until the 2010s that advocacy for these players started getting wide recognition.

Over the years, the #GamesIndustry had been slow to include players with disabilities in the #GameDesign processes where they could address systemic issues of #accessibility. Advocacy organizations have worked in this space for more than a decade, with one landmark being the #IncludificationProject published in 2012 by #AbleGamers.

As my first act as a born again BDW member for the retro community, I'm on a mission to track down the Unreal Tournament 2004 #accessibility mod for #blind gamers, or a pre-packaged UT2004 with the mod installed in it, preserve it, and put together a guide if needed. #RetroGames #RetroGaming #DisabledGamers #BlindRetroGamers #WePlayToo #BreakDownWalls

The Sightless Fighter's Guide to Knockout Kings 2003 has been amended to include a small, but very important, detail about choosing fighters. Also, the text file version is now in Markdown format.

I have a really tough time trying to find games to play when my fatigue is bad. I do have some very laid back games, but those don't always sate the restlessness I end up feeling.

Here is a list of things preventing me from playing certain games when too fatigued:

- Dizziness/vertigo: I always have this. It becomes harder to manage when I am fatigued.
- Photosensitive head pain: harder to manage as well and always present. Flashy effects hurt.
- Brain fog: games with good stories are not his in these moments since focusing on story becomes very mentally teasing.

I've been playing Palia which is great but it's very laid back and doesn't suit those moments when I want a bit more activity from a game.

I wondered if anyone here had suggestions. Sadly first person games are tough when fatigued as are games with heavy story since it's hard to focus. My reflexes are much slower than usual as well.

I would greatly appreciate suggestions.

This is by far the most complete and most often updated list of blind accessible android games available, but it will need to be translated from Brazilian Portuguese. Totally worth it though!
