Q9

[rdfreak]

I haven't played an audio game in ages, but i should, since I have so many high quality ones! I love audio games, and there's only a couple I've ever mannaged to complete on the easy level.
But through taking a read of a former LJ friends LJ (Lou's to be exact), i stumbled across this great audio game called Q9! -- The demo version enabled us to play the first two levels; I successfully completed the first, not the second yet but I decided I would buy the game to unlock it! The music and the quality of the sounds are just magnificent! -- So I now have three side scrollers in my growing game collection. -- we are just so lucky to have such great quality games being made for us; I've never taken that fact for granted. I think, when it comes to gaming, we are honestly just as well-off as the sighted folk. it is clear that these game programmers believe in blind people having their share of fun, Lol (that sounds cheesy probably but it's true! :)
I'm so glad I was introduced to this game because, it's been ages since I've been to any game sites. And as I say, I haven't even clicked on any of the games on my puter for a while; wow I've now got heaps of them, mostly bought, some freebies.
Now I can't remember how I've tagged my audio games in the past, but I really need to take some time and clean up my tags as some of them were never meant to be created and others are kinda inconsistent.
I've already gone back a number of times to the beginning of my LJ and have tagged entries (since the tagging system wasn't available in 2003), but I still have a bit to go as I've recently added a few more tags; how confusing!
So off i go to play this game again. :)
til next time, RdFreak

ah it's a great game, and I love it, but I'm just terrible; you know what I did? I went searching on google for the cheatcodes, so on this last level, i've been using them; bad bad I know, but I just wanna see how it all works and then I'll try and get through it properly; cos usually I'm not into cheating, Lol!
I'll count all the games I have and let my LJ know soon; very proud of my collection, Lol!
And, i was meant to say in the other comment but forgot, I do wish you the very best of luck with finding employment. ten years is sure a long time to be looking; you're certainly very patient. :)

Thanks for your reply to my comment, Rachel! I must admit that, once I found out about the cheats in Q9, I've often used them: it's the only audio game I cheat at, and if I didn't I don't think I'd do very well. As for my job-hunting, I'm beginning to think that I'll never get work, being over 40 and living in a country where far too many people are scared of employing blind people, but I haven't given up on looking at job offers, just in case something comes up, and I still apply for jobs occasionally if I feel they suit me: the problem is, hardly anybody ever bothers to reply to my applications, which makes me feel even more discouraged than ever. I've done some work experience a couple of times in the last ten years, and I currently do voluntary unpaid secretarial work for a group of churches which the one I go to is a part of, so I do have a little bit of professional experience, even if I've never been paid for it.

Yeh I've never actually cheated on any of the other games; don't have the cheat codes.
re the job thing, networking always helps. ask around at the churches, ask you friends, acquaintences, family friends etc. I've started to do a lot of networking myself. :)
