Seems the guys over at BrailleSoft have released a selection of games for both pocket PC and smartphones, though the Pocket PC ones are designed for the Pac Mate so I can't vouch for how they work on other systems. The smartphone ones also seem likely to be for Windows mobile Smartphone edition, the page doesn't specify so I've shot off an email suggesting a clarification.

The games include such things as Uno, Battleships and Blackjack. Though you may have to install the "compact" version of the .net framework, there are instructions and all necessary links on the appropriate pages. And remember to do a soft reset, which is equivalent to rebooting a Pocket PC so that it can take hold properly once the framework is installed.

LOL. good post. Lets see, I dump my PM in to the drink, and I shot it, OOPS.

Try sueing the water company tongue

They should really put warning labels on all taps, in Braille and have a button for those of us like me who can't read Braille so it speaks it in audio.

Hi:

I have a smartphone and I've tried one of the games on the website for smartphones. The game isn't quite working well on it because when I tried play Word Scramble, it game me a welcome message, told me to type Y or N for yes and no but it didn't specify which soft key to hit when I finished typing. I tried enter but that did not work so that's all I can do with the game so far. Also, a message seems to pop up saying that it was designed for Mobile 5 and I hav 6 so that's another problem. I know my post sounds like all complains but if he can get the games to work properly on the phones, then I'll be really excited, happy and I'll definately enjoy them.

I have played uno on the PM wich is running WM6.0. as far as I know, you don't use the soft keys. Also after pressing Y or N, it usally goes on to the next screen. I wonder, have you tried any other games? I'll go try that one and see if I have the same problem and get back with you. hmmm. My PM acts like a phone without the phone part some of the time, with all the soft key messages everywhere. Guess I will tern them off for now to go have some fun. Wish I could play them on my 6620.

Game man:
Have you tried contacting the developer? He should be able to help more than us.

Also I believe smartphones use an actual different version of Windows Mobile so I'm not sure even if you use the new PM Omni it is actually anything like a smartphone, I think recent PDAs have soft keys too.

Well, if you need a special softwhare to run these games on a smart, then that will be hard to find.  What's worse, is that when I had a smart phone, they didn't have that many games.  Now that things have changed, they have more games?  Thats crazy.  To tell you the truth, I just the games from different game systems would be good for us because the games for the blind are good but miss a whole lot of stuff.  `
