So, has anyone ever played "I no mouth and I must scream"? I'm a fan of Harlan Ellis and I see it every now and then on EBay but I'm wondering if it would be worth picking up and what it plays like.

I have I Have no Mouth. I haven't played far into it. From what I gather, it has different stories depending which character you choose. It seems like it could be good. The gameplay is standard point and click, from what I remember.
Here's what the back of the package says:
The adventure plunges you into the tortured and hidden past of the five humans. Delve into their darkest fears. Outwit the master computer AM in a game of psychological warfare...
Sanitarium is another one that comes to mind that's from a few years back.
I've played it, but a long time ago. It still ranks amongst my favorites of all time though.Quote:

Personally, puzzle wise or technically wise, it's average-to-good... but the writing and the general mood of the game are outstanding IMO. The games starts out with different characters, all with their specific quirks and problems, starting in different settings... it's great.
If you can find it for cheap, give it a try. If you're a fan of the genre, I'm sure you'll like it.
Another favorite of mine that I feel bears mentioning is the Neverhood. It may not have had amazing puzzles or scenario design, but the art, animation, atmosphere, and music were truly exceptional. I can't help but admire the game.
Shivers and Phantasmagoria were both good adventure games. Sierra and LucasArts definitely made some of the best. The Monkey Island series were some of the most fun and entertaining games to play, especially The Secret of Monkey Island. Murray was quite possibly the most humorous videogame character ever. One of my first internet handles was Lechuck back on Theglobe.com
Hell yes...that and Full Throttle make me teary for the early ninties...Quote:

Also, Phantasmagoria just was so damn stupid I couldnt get enough of it.
You stole my post. Shadowgate in particular was a nice change back when I onl played what Nintendo Power told me to.Quote:

Shadowgate, Deja Vu, Deja Vu II, and The Uninvited.
These games (along with Maniac Mansion and King's Quest V) are about the only exposure American console gamers got before the 32-bit era. I personally think all of them are good, although a tad frustrating. I'm completely stuck in Deja Vu II on GBC, and I'll probably never finish it.
Was it Darkseed that had the H.R. Giger designs?
Ah, yes. NeverhoOd. Ity still chaps my ass to think this property has been scattered to the winds.Quote:
