Michael Feir Interview from GET LAMP

Michael Feir, though blind, has played many text adventures, through the use of braille keyboards and digitized speech. He is the author of a website and magazine called Audyssey. This is from the interview sessions that were used in the making of the excellent Interactive Fiction documentary, GET LAMP. The filmmaker's comments are at the bottom of this description.

Jason Scott's notes:

Michael Feir was the founder and editor of Audyssey magazine, which is a magazine (now website) dedicated to finding accessibility in games. Blind himself, Michael was up for being interviewed for GET LAMP and even provides a critical show of using a game like Zork with a speech synthesizer. He really drove the sequence in GET LAMP about the blind, making it go from a potential bonus feature on the DVD to a prominent sequence in the final movie.
