What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
Termite Torpedo is an arcade-style game from APH designed to be fully accessible to students who are blind or have low vision. The gameplay involves protecting a city from termites — engaging enough to hold a child's interest while being built from the ground up with accessibility in mind, not retrofitted. It works for students using screen magnification and can also be played entirely without vision, using audio cues rather than graphics. This is a complete, standalone software title on CD-ROM, so it requires a computer with a disc drive to run. At $11, it's a low-cost entry point for accessible recreation — just note that CD-ROM dependency may be a barrier on newer machines that ship without optical drives.
