Console Games - Blind Users

 

Pardon what might come off as a bold request.

A group of men and women are working on a Debian based linux distro for the
blind and the visually impaired called "vinux" http://vinux.org.uk/

I was wondering if any of the members of the group have any games - both
console or X server - that could be used by those who cannot see well.

I remember that GNU Chess could be used in console - but my current attempts
to get it working have failed - probably because it is no longer developed
and is by now incompatible with current linux libraries.

I find console games to be excellent - very fast and they remind me of DOOM
when DOS was king.

Be well,
