Folks,
The latest issue of Audyssey Magazine (http://audyssey.org/pipermail/gamers_audyssey.org/2008-March/032875.html)
just posted an announcement of what looks like a real useful resource for Mac gamers who are blind.
The announcement is at the bottom of this post.

Hi All,
In January, we launched a new web site called Assistive Gaming (
http://www.assistivegaming.com
This site provides information on how people with disabilities
can enjoy the latest and greatest games on Mac OS X. The initial
focus is on people with physical impairments, but if there are
enough vision impaired Mac users who are willing to contribute
articles on their favorite games and game accessibility issues we
would love to add a section on access to games for people with
vision impairments.
Assistive Gaming has been created together with a team of assistive
technology users. The site is updated regularly with new articles,
reviews and short game descriptions. We can always use additional
contributors so if you use assistive technology and play games on
the Mac, please contact us about becoming a contributor to this
site. Ultimately the success of a site like this depends on lots of
people getting involved and contributing their gaming experiences.
Even though the site is currently focussed on users with physical
impairments, we also welcome articles from people with other
impairments. It does not matter what special access hardware and/or
software you use or what games you like to play. All contributions
are welcome as long as you use a Mac...
Cheers,
david.
