[games_access] Space Invaders For Blind (Japanese)

[hinn at uiuc.edu]

Another thing to think about is how we might be able to get 
some of the Japanese attendees at GDC (this is the second 
year that GDC has made a special attempt to encourage 
Japanese game companies to attend) interested in what we are 
doing. Jason may have some ideas on how to make some 
connections.
