Tried having this thread on /v/.
Huge mistake.
Like a pen of uncultured swine, they are.

Let's have a thread about this wonderful little game.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 21 15:47:08 2013 No.1149207 >>1149201 As a Harlan Ellison fan, I'm ashamed that I haven't played this.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 21 15:49:38 2013 No.1149212 >>1149207 I highly recommend it. The game stays pretty true to the original short story. One of the best atmospheric games I've ever played.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 21 15:52:08 2013 No.1149216 >>1149212 I have a lot of experience with DOS games too. It's where I started. Don't know how I've avoided it for all these years. Been aware of it for a while. I'd play the shit out of a game based on A Boy and His Dog as well.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 21 15:54:08 2013 No.1149219 >>1149216 I'm pretty much the exact opposite. I haven't really played any DOS games my entire life and am only now getting into them. Still really loving this game though.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 21 15:56:26 2013 No.1149220 >>1149212 ellison worked directly on the revised parts of the story in the game, too

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 21 15:59:25 2013 No.1149224 >>1149220 Neat, I wasn't aware of that. Might be why I was fine with the minor changes, as well. Benny being an army man instead of a gay scientist seemed like a better character, IMO.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 21 16:08:25 2013 No.1149239 >>1149220 He also voiced AM himself.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 21 16:08:54 2013 No.1149240 TEEEEEEEDD

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 21 16:11:55 2013 No.1149246 >>1149239 Didn't know that, either. First time playing the game and hearing the opening gave me chills. Man's a damn good VA (as far as 90's niche psychological-thriller point-and-click computer games go).

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 21 20:18:08 2013 No.1149752 >>1149201 The German version of the game removes every single thing about the doctor's scenario, thus it renders the game unbeatable. I imagine lots of players in Germany got pissed

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 21 20:22:37 2013 No.1149758 >>1149246 Hells yes. You should track down the audio version of the original short story read by Harlan Ellison. I'd go so far as to say that it's how the story is meant to be experienced. Dude is INTENSE.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 21 22:48:17 2013 No.1149948 I like the sequel better. "I Have No Asshole, But I Must Fart."

Anonymous Mon Oct 21 23:17:18 2013 No.1149991

If you are a Ellison fan and like the game, I highly reccomend the official strategy guide
www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0761503595

It has detailed character bios and the walkthrough is written in prose from the characters perspective. I was lucky to find a copy at a second hand bookshop for $2

I tried out Nimdok yesterday but eventually keeped gettin stuck! I helped the prisoner behind the fence and lost my pliers but know the dude with the eyes inside the jar asks me to cut them off and the scalpel wont do the trick! I guess i have to restart later today, not sure what to do with the ovens yet, too! What a mind raping game...

Anonymous Wed Oct 23 07:32:57 2013 No.1152212

I really liked this game but it after awhile it definitely wasn't as scary and depressing as I thought. The

Add to the fact that got constant awkward crashes on the prehistoric stage with the saved files getting corrupted so I had to redo the prehistoric stage like 10 times to complete it even with a guide to make sure I prevent crashing.

The endings are amazing tough.

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 23 08:14:27 2013 No.1152245 >>1152157 You don't need anything to take the jar

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 23 08:16:57 2013 No.1152248 >>1152245 good to know! does the game always end with a game over screen when you fuck up or is it possible to ruin my savegame when i save after doing somethings wrong? i thought i had to restart nimdoks to get the pliers again

Anonymous Wed Oct 23 08:40:28 2013 No.1152257

>>1152248
You can definitely put yourself in an unwinnable state!
Some of the scenarios will be completed despite you not doing everything perfectly, if you made too many errors you might make the endgame unwinnable. That's why you should make sure that your character's backgroud is colored white when you complete his/her scenario, meaning perfect completion, even though it isn't neccessary.

Also, Ellens background never goes white for some reason. You can't fuck up her scenario though.

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 23 08:48:27 2013 No.1152269 Whoa, people other than myself played through this game?

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 23 08:55:27 2013 No.1152275 Along with Neverhood, this is definitely my favorite point and click game.

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 23 09:00:28 2013 No.1152280 >>1152257 Thanks again for all these useful infos!

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 24 03:34:12 2013 No.1153906 >>1149752 well, i always wanted to play the game thank you that you warned me about this german-censorment shit is it because the doctor was a nazi-scientist and stuff? gonna play this game in english then

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 24 04:38:45 2013 No.1153960 >>1153906 >is it because the doctor was a nazi-scientist Yes. They removed all references to his past so as not to offend deutschfags and as a consequence made the German version of the game utterly unplayable.

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 24 06:54:15 2013 No.1154069 >>1153897 It also runs perfectly through ScummVM

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 24 07:58:45 2013 No.1154139 >>1153897 I just ran one of the first copies I found through Scumm and it was fine.

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 24 09:26:34 2013 No.1154212 I finally made it though the game, after a few bad endings and with the help of a guide i could achive the good ending! It was quite disturbing but im glad i finished it. Lunar People, i will terraform the shit out of the earth, see you in 300 years.

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 24 18:05:57 2013 No.1155030 >>1149239 I think Elison voices AM in all of the adaptions of IHNMAIMS.

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 24 20:05:38 2013 No.1155230 >>1155030 I don't think anyone would want it any other way.

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 26 06:33:01 2013 No.1157976 >>1157934 This thread was made 4 days ago, so I guess that's not the thread that OP is referring to.
