Did you go to school? Your spelling is clear signs of mental disability.

leave her alone

and yes I used to relentlessly give her shit about it but that's a side of me I put away

we seriously need to start being nicer to everyone in here

It entirely depends on the game. You could replace Sonic with a wheelchaired character and I'm pretty sure it would work 100%

Technically, most people in Metal Gear Rising lost everything but their heads so that can count.
Also, Big Boss in MGS5 has a prosthetic arm and story spoiling mental conditions that shall remain nameless.

And if zombification is a mental illness.............

Katawa Shoujo... >_>
Free H / non-H (your choice IIRC) visual novel deals with characters with physical disabilities

It was only one level but in Marvel Legends, when you first play as Daredevil, who is obviously blind, the screen is totally black for the whole time. You see little quick flashes of light whenever someone makes a noise and you have to use those to get all the baddies and finish the level.

OMG I forgot to mention that first person game where you play as a blind person and you move around with echo-location and have to use headphones and such. Trying to find it.

And if people would make as much effort to spell as they would being nice, we'd be living in a place almost worth living.

Full Throttle made me wish for a point and click where the main character would never remove their hands from their pockets, and just kick stuff around or shove them with a foot. And I think (I'm not sure) than an Amiga-era platformer featured a character that did that. But of course it's easier when all you have to do is hop around, Mario-like.

But handicap is about not having one's full potential available. And videogames are usually about power fantasies, adding abilities instead of removing them. So, handicaps are more often a pretext for superpowers turning it around (lack an arm ? your bionic replacement is a super-arm anyway).

There is potential for games about the practical difficulties of lacking an ability. They would even make more sense, gameplay-wise, than the ordinary badasseries (being in a wheelchair would justify the four centimenters high fences and other invisible walls that your jedi finds totally insurmountable). But I guess they don't fit the sort of self-identifications that gamers look for. So they're condemned to confidential, experimental, artsy, educational, gimmick games.

Too bad. A game like "Machinarium" could totally work on some handicap premise.

Edit:
I might have been thinking of "Magic Pockets", which comes close to the idea of a character keeping hands in pockets (the idea being, why not have him without arms then). But there is some amount of pocket fluff throwing, requiring hands.I haven't played it, so I wasn't sure.

On topic, get shot in Swat 4... you have a limp. Done!

Munch from Oddworld has a wheel chair but that's because he has a flipper instead of legs rather than being a broken crippled spaz. There is a lot of mentally retarded people in games, does that count? Enchantment!

It's lol-speak, like "Valley Girl" speak of the 80's. She's quite capable of normal spelling but chooses to add a little flair to her online personality.

There's also a mod for Quake that does something like that: AudioQuake.

One of the brothers in Beautiful Desolation is in a wheelchair.
