This is a resource for anything to do with accessible games. Feel free to add your links and other relevant information.

According to the Game Accessibility project, the game industry is expanding at a tremendous rate. Games have been growing in depth and complexity over the past years and have become one of the most popular forms of entertainment, with yearly sales exceeding 7.4 billion dollars. Many innovative developments in new media and ICT arise from the game industry. At the same time there is a huge increase in game-oriented studies at universities and academies.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of modern computer games do not meet the needs of gamers who function under limiting conditions. Limiting conditions can be functional limitations, or disabilities - such as blindness, deafness, or mobility limitations. (Source: Game Accessibility)
