Hi Dark, Yeah, I know what you mean. Shades of Doom was the game that got me interested in audio gaming as well. Considering I had just left the world of Tomb Raider, Jedi Knight, Star Trek Elite Force, etc behind when I lost my sight I wasn't at all impressed with any accessible games until I found Lone Wolf and Shades of Doom. There just wasn't anything comprable to mainstream games out there around 2000 or 2001 when Shades of Doom came out. Everything was the board and card game variety, and right after that was the Space Invader craze. Only Shades of Doom caught my attention right away.
Anyway, you are right. Those blobs are evil. They sound very creepy. However, weirdly they never bothered me like the cyborgs. I guess its just the shock of coming around a corner or opening a door and hering some mechanical step of something not quite human coming to kill me. They really psych me out. Cheers!
