The Universal Arcade
I've been messing around with a freeware game called Access Invaders. As you might guess, it's a Space Invaders clone that can be played through a variety of methods (keyboard, single switch, mouse); it also contains options for people who are blind or have low vision. The game is highly customizable and nearly every element can be tailored to suit the player's disability. I can't see this kind of accessibility penetrating the mainstream gaming market anytime soon, but it's an interesting experiment that will hopefully inspire similar efforts.
Thanks to Ouch! for the tip.
