   @Doll Have you read "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream"? It's a fun story.

     @Frank @Doll It goes a little heavy on the slapstick sometimes.

     @p @Doll Played the original. It was great, really well thought out. The background of each character (hinted at in the original story) got fleshed out extensively. Puzzles were good. Ending was ok, a bit 'Gabriel Knight' (if you get the old Sierra reference) but still satisfying if you found a way to get the good one.

     @TrevorGoodchild @Doll I never played Gabriel Knight but if the ending was anywhere close to the short story then I probably get it.

     @TrevorGoodchild @Doll I never played the game, but Ellison did all the writing and it's allegedly better than the story. (It's just easier to get a story to work than a game, and much easier to find.)

     @p @Doll Seems kinda prescient considering the US and China have both individually developed national AIs, and Russia very likely has one in the works
     
     Also: great game

     @TrevorGoodchild @JollyWizard @p @Doll I played this game on a new pentium with a yamaha aw20 opl4 2mb midi soundcard. Short of a roland midi, nobody has played that game with the music as it was supposed to be played. I knew one person with a Roland hooked up to their pc and they didn't game. I saw a video of the game years later in a modern pc with a modern soundcard with emulated midi. Opl3 synth level. Holly fuck what a downgrade. None of you peasants have experienced this like i have. 😎
     Also. There's a way to beat it with a character other than Nimdok.

     @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @TrevorGoodchild @JollyWizard @Doll I think you underestimate the average age of the people in this thread.

     @TrevorGoodchild @p @Doll I have spoken to maybe two dozen people in my life about this game and half of them pretend they know it when clearly they have no idea what I am talking about.
