Three Men Create 100,000-Keystroke Script so that Blind Gamer Can Complete a Video Game


(Video Link)


Jordan Verner of Ontario had a dream: he wanted to complete Orcarina of Time, a video game in the Legend of Zelda franchise. But he is blind, which makes playing a video game, let alone completing it, very difficult. Three men who read of his predicament on the Internet responded by writing a complete, keystroke-by-keystroke guide to completing the game.

Fanfreakingamazing!!! I know of deaf gamers, but I did not know of blind ones. That is spectacular that they helped him complete the game. :)

Wow, that's called dedication. Very cool what those 3 guys did for someone else.

And color me surprised when I saw that this came from the local news here rofl.

I have some blind friends that play videogames - super mario bros, tekken, soul calibur, need for speed, fifa - one of them even Wing Commander. There's a real scene of blind videogamers, one hub is http://www.audiogames.net/ where you can find special games for blinds - and mods of non-accessible games, for example the well known audio Quake.
