Is it worth getting I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream on Steam? Will it work better than on DOSBox?

Use SCUMMVM

It's $6. Pay for good games.

This. If you want to play point and click adventure games, OP you NEED to learn to use ScummVM even if it's to play games you've actually paid for.

When you pay for a retro game the money doesn't go to the people who created it. It goes to which ever company acquired the rights. Pay if you want but even the game designers have said they don't give a fuck if you pirate their 20 year old game so what's the point

Use the money to send 'em a nice fruit basket. That's what I do.

That was SUCH a shit book. And I like cyberpunk. And I read it in jail, so anything should've been entertaining.

Never pay for old games, creators do not get the money

You're just lucky they had something other than Louis L'Amour and Tom Clancy.

Considering the game designers get paid to make the game, they wouldn't give a fuck if you pirated their 10-second old game.

since it's their efforts that make games good, I can't see why I should listen to some random guy who bought the rights instead of them.
