[games_access] Looking for One Switch Games thoughts...

[Eelke Folmer]

Hi Tim,

<shamelessselfpromotion>
I got a few one switch research findings on my website
http://eelke.com/oneswitchgames.html
Including a 1 switch bejeweled, first person shooter and monkeyball game.
I also synthesize three different strategies that are used to make games
switch accessible.

Best Eelke
