If you've never read The Short Story by Harlan Ellison, you're missing out.

 If you've never played the Adventure Game, you're missing out even more - You can get it by Clicking HERE and going to GoG.com!  (http://www.gog.com/game/i_have_no_mouth_and_i_must_scream?pp=c32a67a05e6b1c8b7a2b48059cdcd5007a4a0900)

Haha, no Nick Cage there.  Or Bees.  It's a classic Adventure game.

I can't recommend this game enough, it has a wonderfully dark, mysterious story and it deals with some very adult themes.  Definitely not one to play alongside your kids, but an absolute joy nonetheless!  I played it side by side with a friend and we both loved it.  If you don't have it already, go get it! :)

I've heard of it, but I actually never read the story or played the game.  Gotta fix that glaring oversight.

Remember that this is the short story that The Terminator is based on, but is far better than the movie. The game is like getting several games in one.

I remember this game.  It's a nightmare to try and emulate, glad it's on sale.

I never played the game and had never read the story.  I went ahead and read it today.  Pretty amazing it was written way back in the 60s.  I look forward to the game now.  Who knows if/when I will have time to actually play it though.

As far as I can tell, it works just fine on ScummVM.  I was playing it earlier today.

Although it's easy to see the Skynet connection, I thought The Terminator was 'loosely' based on Ellison's short story "Soldier From Tomorow" (1957) and his Outer Limits episode, "Soldier" (1964)?...

For the love of God, please let me know if you are ever able to figure out how to emulate Dragon Force on the Sega Saturn.

Actually it borrows heavily from both, but we were talking about I have No Mouth.
