According to the website, the <a href="http://www.7128.com/alert/alert.html">Accessible Learning through Entertainment and Recreation</a> service provides the following useful information:<br />
<br />
* Where to get those games, at low cost, or for free<br />
* What to look for in selecting those games, quickly and with fewer costly mistakes<br />
* How to apply those games to your learning objectives, without a lot of mystery<br />
* Who to go to for free help<br />
<br />
"This information will be updated over the course of 2008, especially the growing series of How To articles."<br />
<br />
Another resource on the Simply Entertainment/1-129 Software website is a section dedicated to links to 25 highest-rated websites that focus on games that are accessible for people who are blind. Many of the linked websites offer free on-line games.<br />
