   Aside from the Lost Treasure Of Infocom, are there any commercially-available
   text adventures (i.e. games without any graphics?) Alternatively, are there
   text games where the graphics can be turned off? I ask because, being a blind
   person using a talking computer, I can't play games with graphics because the
   speech hardware/software doesn't like them.
   Cheers,

Check out the games from Topologika Ltd in the UK. All guaranteed text
based, not a hint of graphics in the game. Contact Topologoka on
+44 733 244682 (insert appropriate international dilaing code for the
+).
