People with Disabilities

In looking over some of our game analyses it occured to me that some of these games may be valuable for people with disabilities. Disabilities cover a wide spectrum, not just blind or deaf people but also people who are colorblind or have some injury where they could not use a mouse, etc.

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has some guidelines to follow to make sure that a wider audience could use materials presented on the web. It doesn't have to be ugly and, in fact, there could be a separate area they could go to to achieve greater accessibility. It could be as simple as having colors controlled by style sheets or making sure all your graphics have descriptors. It just all depends on that audience.
