[Electronics-talk] Video Games

[Jolynn Page]

I will try the link and see what games I can find.  I was trying to
figure out if there are any video games a blind person can play
whether on a playstation, nintendo wii, 3ds or any of those systems.
I went online and saw something where a blind woman was playing a game
on the nintendo 64 but wasnt sure if there are any other games out
there.  I was just trying to find something that I can play with my
family or on my own.  Thanks for any help you can give me
