I was actually shocked that the first thing they had me do (I chose the nazi character) was hack off the spine of an 8 year old boy. What?
I havent played a point + click from days of yore in so long, it was interesting (frustrating) to remember playing something where there is ONE very rigid solution to the problem, and you better click the fuck out of everything until you get it.
Now to get the book. I've been trying to find it since I was 19 and this old guy on a bus got me interested. I cant really order stuff online, and I havent been able to find it around town. Weird, considering how famous it is.
They say Harlan Ellison actually had a lot of involvement in making the game, too, by the way.

I had downloaded I Have No Mouth several years ago but couldn't really get it to work. So I kind of gave up on it. I think this was before I discovered DosBox. But I'd just kind of forgotten about it for a while. Thanks for the reinvigorated interest, point n' clicks are the best.
If you haven't read the story, it's pretty easy to find online:

It's not terribly long. Great story though.
But yeah, Harlan did have quite a bit to do with the game. There's a hilarious interview about it on youtube.
