"One Switch Crazy 8's" by Tactical Neuronics (PC).
A nice card game, where you try to get rid of all your cards first against the computer.
"Mario Dash" by www.Eiksoft.com (PC)
Absolutely superb one button version of 'Super Mario Bros'.
Includes a level designer, and loads of pre-made levels to choose from (this requires mouse use to select).

Message from the programmer
"Hi Barrie,
Thanks for the compliments on my game. You're certainly welcome to
distribute the game on your site, as well as on free CDs. I'm just happy
to know that people are out there playing and enjoying the game. Be sure
to let me know if any of the kids have suggestions, I could try to add
them to the game. That might be pretty neat if they could see some of
their ideas come to life. Maybe a custom graphics set featuring some of
their artwork, something like that. I'll put a link on my site to yours,
too. Best regards,
Eikon"
With two new accessible gaming competitions fast approaching, I thought I'd post links to two one switch / one button competitions from the past.
BlitzCoder's "One-Button" competition (2004)
http://www.blitzcoder.com/cgi-bin/showc … One-Button
A lot of the games have vanished into the ether, but I recommend Alien Blitz and Wizard Battle.
Ravya's "1W1B2" one week one button 2 competition (2005)
http://rav.efbnet.com/1w1b2/results.html
I recommend Fairy Fields, Nano Sucker, Eat!? (if you can get it to work) and Jungle Run.
Excellent start to to gathering the newest of the new! I especially like the screen shots -- if we do some nice cross postings between here, the GA SIG Blog (ie, the http://www.igda.org/accessibility site) and the mailing list, I think we'll have a lot of outlets for this info. I need to ask my comp sci friend to write a bot that will more easily allow for auto cross-postings!!!
Pepsi made a one click game...it's fun!
http://www.pepsi.co.jp/special/game.html
Nice one Sander! Very addictive. What about this one...
http://megami.starcreator.com/nanaca-crash/
"Nanaca Crash" is a great fun game that apart from some menu navigation is a one switch game.
Nano Sucker
http://www.nukeitfromorbit.com/nanosucker/
Is a simple but fun game. Basically, you are surrounded by green cells. Red cells try to infect the green cells. Guide your pointed stone craft into the red cells to prevent them infecting further healthy cells.
Archaist
http://www.michi.nu/games/archaist/
Accessible for single switch play. Fun, and with some very nice options to make the game a bit easier.
The Pyramid by PugFugly games.
One of the most accessible games ever.
Review here: http://indygamer.blogspot.com/2006/09/pyramid.html
Game download here: http://www.pugfuglygames.com/Downloads/ThePyramid.zip
"Remember!" is a computer version of Memory that can be played with only one switch. The game can be played by one or up to four players at a time. Each with his/her own switch. The graphics can even be modified through the editor that comes with the game.

Papunet have some very nice simple switch games on-line. Text is in Finnish, but don't let this put you off, as their web-site is pretty easy to navigate.
I particularly like their darts game: http://www.papunet.net/pelit/tarkkuuspelit/
Nine new one-switch games available from Donation Coder:

A superb new one-switch version of Frogger has been added to the OneSwitch library:
Froggy Ribbit

This uses the one-switch standard for play (SPACE or LEFT MOUSE click to start, play and quit), as detailed here: http://www.retroremakes.com/forum2/show … ostcount=5
Chirality
"Chirality is a one-switch game of reflexes and perception. Watch for matches among the symbols as they rotate left and right, all the while getting faster as your score climbs higher. Three different difficulty levels allow you to play at your own pace, but the challenge is everpresent".

Hey all!
I'm new to the site, but I was searching for a place to post about a new small one-switch game that I wrote for a recent game programming competition called PyWeek, and thought that this thread looked like the right place. If you can point me to a better place, I would appreciate the direction.
The game is called Slacker, and it's a clone of an annoyingly addictive game called Stacker that I played at a restaurant one time that offered an iPod or PSP or Nintendo as prizes. If you could stack the blocks to the top, you would win the prize. I wrote this one to use as practice for the arcade, and if you win an extra iPod as a result of your practicing, feel free to maybe send one my way. :)
Links:
Game entry page on the PyWeek site
Windows EXE download
Python source download
I designed it from the beginning to be a one-switch game so that it would be able to share enjoyment (and annoyment) to all.
Also, here's an animation of how a typical game goes for me, so you can get a feel for the game before you play it.
Please feel free to e-mail me (hanclinto at gmail dot com) if you have any questions or comments about the game, or recommendations as to how I can submit it for other people. The game and all of its assets, source code, and executables are made freely available for personal or commercial use (so long as it's not prohibited by law).
Cheers!
Respectfully,
Clint Herron

Hi,
Just found this game:
http://jogos.hex.com.br/jogo/crazy-mammoths/
It was not designed as one-switch accessible, so the menus are not one-switch accessible, nor is there a key-configuration. However, the game itsself is played with only the spacebar.
Have fun!

Hello, I'm new here. Just wanted to let you know I've made a version of PacMan that can be played using the space bar or clicking left mouse button.
While I haven't made the menus single switch (uses mouse or arrow keys and space),
the game can be slowed down and the number of enemies altered.
Here's the link to the game:
http://www.graemesfreegames.com/html/ma … witch.html
It's completely free to download and play. :)

Many thanks! And how slack have I been updating this page!
Find out about some of the latest one-switch gaming news here:

And here:
Actually Graeme - that's probably the most accessible version of Pac-Man I've ever seen. Well done!
You can select how many ghosts - adjust the speed of yourself and the ghosts independently - there's a very well implemented one-switch mode with an excellent game mechanic attached - highly accessible menu.
Congratulations. I'll blog something about this shortly.

I've just added a new single switch compatible game - 'Gunfighter'.
Take on the role of a gunfighter in the Old West and clear out several towns of bandits using nothing but your twin Colt Peacemakers.
Options include the ability to change the speed of enemy bullets and the rate at which the bandits shoot at you, as well as some other stuff.
Get it here: www.graemesfreegames.com/html/gunfighter_-_single_switch.html
Be sure to read the 'Read Me' file as it explains everything.
Feedback is greatly appreciated.

New single-switch compatible game released. 'Cubes' is an action/puzzle-type game that I'm hoping will cater for a wide age range. I've included various options to slow down (or speed up) aspects of the game, switch on/off other features to attempt to make the game as easy or as challenging as the player would like.
More information here: http://www.graemesfreegames.com/html/cubes.html
Just released a single-switch controlled retro fighting game, similar in style to games such as Karate Champ and Way of the Exploding Fist.
Game has 10 skill levels, options to slow down some aspects of gameplay, and an editor to create your own fighting style.
The game is controlled entirely by the spacebar or left mouse button and is free to download and play.
More about it here: http://www.graemesfreegames.com/html/wa … witch.html
If you try it out, some feedback would be greatly appreciated. :)
