Re: Feature: 5 Accessibility Features That Every Game Should Have

Ruthless4u

Our youngest ( 3) has CVI ( cortical vision impairment) and a combination of hyper and hypotonia which causes motor control issues.

He watches his older brother play games and I can tell he wants to play, but most games are out of his reach as far as we can tell. He can play simple I pad games.

We do worry when he’s older, how he can play games on switch or onex, especially with the hostile attitude some gamers have with expanding accessibility options.

Very interesting article

My son ( 3 years old ) has upper phase2/lower phase 3 CVI which is the most common yet one of the most least understood visual impairments in the developed world. He also is currently non verbal.

So we are on the outside looking in when trying to figure out what he sees. Often times for example he watches videos on his I pad sideways. Where the top is actually facing right and the left side of the I pad is on top. We often wonder how he can interact with computers and games later in life.

For anyone interested in CVI this is an excellent resource.

Who knows, maybe you can share it and help someone.

It breaks my heart that it’s almost impossible to share some of my favorite games from childhood with my kids.

Games like Wing Commander( legal nightmare) Series, Koei’s PTO amongst other s will likely never see the light of day on modern systems.

I’m fortunate that Sid Meier’s pirates seems to get added to every generation ( yes I’m old lol)
