Arcess.com is developing a wide range of arcade, logic, educational and card games. Our ultimate goal is for each game to be universally accessible - designed to be enjoyed by players with a very wide range of ages, languages and abilities. To achieve this it will be necessary for the games to be extremely flexible - to quickly and easily adjust, size, contrast, speed and difficulty, through a very wide range. The games will also need to support a wide range of input and output devices and support many languages.

Flexibility without complexity is not an easy task. The aim is for the games to be as easy to setup, and require no additional expertise, for a player with a severe disability (eg. single switch or blind player - or both) as it would be for a player without a disability.

This games lab is designed to receive feedback on the ongoing development of the games. Each game will be under continuing development. It is unlikely that any of the games will ever be 'finished' in the traditional sense. Stable versions will be released for sale but development won't stop there. As we learn more about how to increase the flexibility of the games without increasing the complexity, we will release updated versions that will be available online.

Accessible
Play using a mouse or keyboard - or alternative devices (switches, expanded keyboards) that emulate mouse or keyboard

Play online anywhere
These new 'Flash' based games can be played online using Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari web browser on almost any Internet connected computer. When members login, the games will automatically adjust their personal settings.

Public / Private password
Members will have two passwords. The 'private' password is designed for use on the member's own computer and gives full access to their personal game setup. The 'public' password is for use on other computers where the member's password may not be secure. Using the public password, members can play the games online with their own personal settings but cannot permanently change settings (and neither can anyone else using a public password).

Our Original Games
Our old games, now over ten years old, are still available as a free download but will eventually be replaced by new versions with many new features.
