[games_access] "Venture Into Adventure" with Closed-Captions

[Barrie Ellis]

It's not a big deal, but the I'm reviewing all the games for access right 
now for the Retro Remakes competition. I've discovered one (out of 70+) that 
has added closed captions for sound. So there's at least one freeware game 
out there that can be used as an example. It's not the best game in the 
world, but worth a look for CC interest:

Adventure".

Awards and reviews are due on December the 1st by the way at
