Florio's speech [games_access] Future Play Poster 2006 and Top 10List

[Robert Florio]

I thank you for getting back to me with the written text in HTML format web
site nothing special coding I'll see how someone could read coding it's just
text that you can bring up on the Internet that other software can
translate.  Is that right?  Thanks.

Things like manuals, instructions, and so on.

Increasingly, web-access is the way to get hold of information. Thus if your

game instructions can be found on-line (as with the very lovely one-switch 
game "Alice Amazed" here: http://www.michi.nu/games/alice/index.php) - 
chances are that disabled gamers will have a better chance of accessing 
them. People requiring screen magnification, speech readers, increased text 
size etc. will find instructions in HTML format easier to cope with than the

printed word in many instances. Of course web-access comes into play here 
too...

ng-web-accessibility.shtml - 
Fairly simple pointers for designing accessible web-pages.

Hope this rambling answer clears this up a bit...
