I don't have any type preference, anything's fine. Probably will buy king of dragon pass on my birthday which will be on the 22nd of this month so. But i'm eager for suggestions what i should try.

Hi Arnold.

There are some free games available like huboodle, but the problem is that most of the really awesome Ios titles I would recommend are either commercial games themselves like A dark room, King of dragon pass and six ages, or have limiting factors in their free mode such as land of livia, the choicefogames titles or  or audio game hub.

What I would personally recommend is looking for a way to buy the games.

Myself, I use a credit card for this with a very low limit, so that if hackers did! get hold of my credit card information at most they could make a payment which I could then cancel at the bank.

Of course though, even if someone pinched my phone there is more than enough security on the thing between pass codes, finger print scanning and my long and complex Apple Id password, not to mention of course that I could use the "find my phone" function on Aple to check where it was, cancel the device account and even alert the police to who might have it .

Anyway, if your parents are not keen on this idea, one way around might be to use Itunes gift cards see Here for details this way, there would be no access to money on the phone but what was actually put onto the gift card, thus at most, if you put ten pounds/dollars/euroes whatever onto the card, that would be all that was in the balance to spend, so even if by some remote chance someone did! hack your phone or steel your phone, at most they would just get a tenner .

I know the cards are available in the Uk and US and parts of europe, I'm not sure about other countries, but it might be something worth looking into. Your parents could even buy those from a physical apple shop if they're not happy with buying online.

hth.

There are some awesome games out there for Ios at the moment, many like Feer that are very inexpensive, and it'd be a shame to miss out on them due to payment paranoia. so hopefully this is a good way around.

hth.

@Smoothgunner, king od dragon pass is awesome. I haven't tried six ages yet, but I intend to.

for gameplay, I recorded a demo myself about the game you can Download it here from sendspace

Its fairly long but was intended to show the complete start to the game and explain how a lot works. There is also michael Feyr's podcast on Applevis, though that is rather out of date these days, EG it mentions access issues which have long since been fixed.

Hi.
I've played many iOS games in the past that are accessible, some more enjoyable than others. Sadly, many of my favourites can not be baught any more EG Papa Sangre and the night jar. There are still some options though and hopefully there will be more to come in the near future. A blind legend is fun; it's very immersive and the controls are easy to master after a little practice. The only issue I have is that it doesn't have much replay value. I'd still totally recommend it though, if you've not tried it already. Some of my favourite games however are ones that aren't specifically developed with the blind in mind but can still be easily played by us. They're GameBooks so I'm not sure whether you would enjoy them but you can always try. The developer is Choice of Games and they cover a variety of genres from Fantacy to Thriller. Some of my favourites are "Choice of Robots" and "Choice of Magics”.
The only potential downside of this type of game that I can think of is that few of them are free and the paid ones can cost up to £6 or equivalent. However, if (as previous posters have mentioned) iTunes vouchers can be purchased in your area, this problem may be resolved. You can also find similar games under the "hosted games" developer, such as the Way Walkers university saga which I absolutely love. I hope this helps and that you find something that you enjoy. Also, have a great Birthday.

I work as and audio expert for a company called MyTrueSound. We make audio games for iOS and Android. The first part of our first game GoldGun in going to be released in January. I will start a thread about it soon here. Stay tuned .

@mherrane, I'll be looking forward to it, we need more good audiogames for the Iphone, particularly since sadly due to Apple's policy of "update with us or die"  really good audio titles have fallen by  way side which is quite sad.

I have had a lot of fun with the Cog/hg titles over the years, although I haven't been able to play as many as I would've liked.
some of my favourites have included choice of robots, Zombie exodus and choice of zombies, fatehaven, the Samurai Hyuga series and mecher ace, though many I need to have another go at, I loved the world in choice of romance for example but I ended up taking the super romantic, sod your family I'm marrying the nice guy ending which cut the game off a bit prematurely .

Maybe I'll treat myself and play through one of these again.

I've also recently been trying a couple of the delight games titles. These play differently to the cog/hg games, since for one thing you always play a pre-determined character, and for another the games have more of a classic fighting fantasy gamebook vibe with stats that increase/dicrease such as damage or mana or the like.

@Laurel in This huge mondo topic huge mondo cog/from a few years ago I and several people discussed games as we played them, when I get around to choice of magics or other titles I'll likely post in there too.

I did begin saga of the north wind a while ago but I got a bit distracted at the time and wasn't able to go as far as I would've liked, I'd like to get back to that one, actually I need to sort my library out as I am not sure how things work since they have introduced the single ap version as opposed to the generalised aps for each game.

As to delight games, these were ones I kept hearing about since for a while access on Android was better than on Ios, indeed I sort of fell on my feet with that one since I bought the ap back when it was a premium only thing but had comparatively few books and thought I'd really lost out due to it being inaccessible, then of   Ios access got fixed I suddenly found I'd got an amazingly good deal .

I haven't played many of their titles either but those I've played I've liked, again many games and not enough time.

apple really irritate me with the "update or else" policy, particularly because it can invalidate things you have legally payed for, indeed it is odd that i have games on my pc that I bought in 2006, which I can still run and play no problem, but some games I bought only three or four years ago like Pappa sangre ii have been killed by Apple.

its quite irritating, especially since there aren't exactly many audiogames to begin with.

@Arnold, the map in a dark room is! scary, though not for accessibility reasons, there's just lots of scary stuff out there .

As to king of dragon pass, the map there is indeed a bit tricky. Some fool called ddark created This textual guide on how to navigate, its also mentioned in said fool called dark's podcast. as well.

Apparently six ages has a much more screen reader friendly map, though that's a game I still need to get into.
