IQ Chat / Thank You For Your Games!
« on: November 01, 2015, 03:09:00 PM »
Hi Team IQ,
There's something I'd like you folks to know. I deal with something called Cerebral Palsy. This is a disability that effects how I walk, talk and hold things Mostly, I use a wheelchair to move about. I'm also a gamer, but, since I deal with Cerebral Palsy, its very hard for me to play twitchy games with my friends. I would lose too quickly. Sometimes, people would think I was an easy target, or a liability to their team and wouldn't pick me, or sometimes they'd forget I was there period. It made me feel sort of invisible and I didn't like to play ):
The easiest games for me to play were the the third person adventure games from Sierra/lLcasarts and the kind you folks work so hard at making. When I play games like Space Quest, Kings Quest or QFI, my friends ask my help and I felt more visible and included. What I'm trying to say is, thanks for your games and your work. Even though you folks don't know me from Adam, you've made a big difference in my life.
With Gratitude,
Erik Parkin
