I think he was more referring to how none of the links fucking work.
At least they don't seem to work on this end

Not so much that the box cover is designed to sell the product so much as how the commercial meaning behind the art sort of robs it of it's artistic meaning.
I'm back in College, the rampant attack of knowledge on my sad sack of gray matter has made me a fruity socialist. It's probably just a phase. There is a reason I mentioned Andy Warhol. You should look into it. |

Seeing all these old covers bring back memories and old pains of regret for never picking up copies. That last one looks interesting. Anyone have any idea if its Abandonware yet or where I can find it?

Heh heh. Got one from the days of yore :P I don't let any game/pc system that could become a classic get too far out of sight. |

Righ still has an Amiga 500 sitting in the cupboard. It has followed us across oceans. It's not been out of it's box for at least 11 years. I can't believe the sort of stuff he holds on to. I'm the opposite. Sometimes I throw things away while I'm still using them. It's the Scandie in me, I think. I still have this, although it's at my sister's house. If it weren't, I would have tossed it a gazillion years ago.  |

Righ still has an Amiga 500 sitting in the cupboard. Nope. Got rid of the A500 when the keyboard broke. I still have an A3000 and a bunch of other Amiga stuff. I use AmigaForever now. Emulation on a modern Mac or PC is faster than my A3000 with an MC68060 running at 75MHz. But I need the Amiga to read the floppies - PC controllers cannot be programmed to do so. But, if you think that's bad... I have a CD32 too. If C= hadn't failed so dismally, more people might know that Zool was once the greatest platform game ever written. |

Your're right. I certainly never played "MobyGames The definitive resource for PC Games mobygames.com".

I made teh same mistake, it's why I had to donwload and mirror those mobygame titles on my own space. Pesky mobygames, they just won't share. (It's probably why their site's actually responsive.)

Sorry about that. Everything in that cupboard looks the same to me. I think we have an empty Amiga 500 box, though. Figures I'd shift an empty box from country to country. :( |

 And I'll throw in the original one because the shape of the box was just so bizarre.  Mobygames > images.google.com |

Other than Moby Games is made of user contributions. It's an incomplete wiki.
I need to go home, find my Sqoon box, and copy it. YAY.

Someone tell me where to download this. I have no idea what the fuck it is, and it probably blows anyway, but I must have it. |

Someone tell me where to download this. I have no idea what the fuck it is, and it probably blows anyway, but I must have it. Heh. "I have no mouth..." is the primordial storyline for pretty much all "machines take over the world" modern day stories. Terminator, Matrix, Lawnmower Man, pretty much anything that includes machines becoming intelligent and hating mankind are all derived from this short story. It's a sci-fi classic! You can actually read the short story Here. The amazing thing about this story is that it was written in 1967. |

Plus they host a great flash video in tribute to classic gaming. Take a look. (Warning: contains gratuitous amounts of David Lee Roth-era Van Halen as the auido). Bring the noise. Cheers............. |

I have no mouth.. is not exactly abandonware since Mr Ellison's site still sells it here. The abandonware rips allegedly are missing the movies that are required to play the game anyhow. I did find the photo of Harlan and friend rather amusing. Presumably the young lady is a surviving Homo Floresiensis as Harlan himself is hardly altitudinous.  |
