I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream [SOLD]

I have mailed Acclaim and asked them about this game. I got a no comprehensible answer. The Dreamers Guild doesn't exist anymore and neither does Cyberdreams.inc. CD Access doesn't have it. Amazon have three games bit not from any reseller only from private persons.

It seems pretty abandoware to me... I can add the ripped version and I can get my hands on an ISO of the orginal CD for the ISO cellar.

Go or no go?

Will have to wait until Kosta gives us directions on how to treat Amazon.

The other request thread revealed that it is sold at The HERC Store (http://harlanellison.com/herc.htm).

By the way...
I got a no comprehensible answer.
I'd appreciate if you could send me a copy of their response.

I have some wonders what happened to the old games, I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream, Bad Mojo, Shadow Man 1 & 2 and South Park the PC game. Are they still manufactured? What publisher owns the rights? Where can I get my hands on these awesome games?

The site:

Hasn't been updated for almost a year. I emailed them to check their status.

[_r.u.s.s.]

well, maybe you shouldn't have contacted customer service but something else, are there other mails?

I sent the emails to some other email as well, we'll see how that will turn out.

Their reply basically means:
"Sorry, but I don't know what the heck you're asking about so I've sent a canned response."

[_r.u.s.s.]

damn, you're a sherlock horseman :P

[ltsajber]

Got a better answer now... ;)

I have another clue that I am following...so the search goes on. :D

You hid your email in your first letter. Would you (or a mod) care to remove your name and email in this one, as well?

The other request thread revealed that it is sold at The HERC Store (http://harlanellison.com/herc.htm).

Actually I refuse to believe it's actually still being sold in that store since copies on eBay are MUCH more expensive than that. I managed to get hold of the English version in box for £30 which is cheap. And they're selling it for $30, which is half that? Come on, I don't believe that for a second.

Reminds me of Adventure Soft. For over a year, their website wouldn't let you buy their stuff. I just went to look and they finally fixed it! Woo!

[Lulu_Jane]

Bad Mojo is still sold, but it's the new redux edition. I bought it sometime last year I think in Hong Kong.

I've never seen I Have No Mouth But I must Scream though, sadly.

[Ermuli]

I got mine for 5 euros or so.

[Professor Oak]

Out of interest, any updates on the status of this game? I have had a look at his site and it hasn't been updated for the past 3 years or so.

[_r.u.s.s.]

maybe we could contact harlan and ask if he still has the game for sale.. or if it's being produced and such

I am so sure this isn't sold anywhere online except for 50 bucks used on Amazon.

The HERC store is still up.
