I've never expected that disabled gamers still game despite their handicaps. They are truly dedicated and more serious than I ever imagined.

I could recall that there was one blind gamer who wanted to play Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and he successfully pulled it off.

I pay particular attention to articles like this ever since I happened upon video's of OneHandedTerror, a fighting game player with an obvious impairment. Awesome stuff.

Also: that blind guy they had playing MK against Japanese fighting game afficionados was way cool. Though I had a feeling he was being put up there more as a trick monkey since none of those guys actually play MK, but hey, I'd love to be able to beat those guys at anything, let alone a fighting game.

Really good article, Jeff!

Mark has proven to be the single most influential person in our industry in making games accessible. The big companies listen to him. The small ones, like ours, listen to him. Changes do get made. Sometimes passion does win.
