Gaming With a Headmouse?

Posted by timothy on from the kbounce-is-certainly-addictive dept.

seanbhoy writes "Do you have any information on games that can be played by myself? I am disabled from the neck down, and use a headmouse to access the Internet, etc. To get an idea of my disability, I have almost the same injuries that Christopher Reeve had. Can you point me in the direction of similar would-be gamers and computer users? Also do you have any information on games that may work with the headmouse I use?"

    You might be disappointed by the quality of the suggestions you get to your question, since most Slashdotters are disabled from the neck up.

    I have no idea what a headmouse is or how it is used, but I'm guessing playing DDR with it on the highest setting will eventually make your head fall off...

    I'm assuming the postere typed their own question.

    It's ironic that the guy who can't type at all has better typing skills than the guy who can.

    He can't type, you insensitive clod. The least you could've done is create a link to http://www.medschool.pitt.edu/.

    Starcraft is PERFECT for your situation. Only requires a mouse, it will take a lot of getting used to, especially only using your head, but man, starcraft is THE RTS of ALL TIME! Any other rts would do you as well, but i have found, although this is just my undisabled findings, i can still play starcraft nearly 10 years after its been first released and still get the same rush from it. Its fun. Your disabled. You have a reason to play this game 24/7. Dont miss out on the opportunity of a LIFETIME.
