  • I think Harlan Ellison did a pretty good job as AM.

  • I didnt kno nimdok was a nazi doctor or whatever.

  • What did he say after before "I someone who"... ? The guy was talking over the character...

    It was at the point where he put the fruit in the basket...

  • Where did he get the "something to plant on your grave"?

  • Near-instant disintegration doesn't seem THAT bad...

  • Tightened Bowles yuck

  • hmm, it's cool, but I think I might like the short story better, especially after reading the Gameinformer article about how the developers actually made this game.

  • I would say that porky minch is the evilest thing with a concence

  • A year on and this still looks amazing

  • This narrator's accent isn't English, it is more likely Australian.

  • @MorriganNoel lolno

  • Fck, dude, when I was reading the article of this game in Game Informer, ur voice is what I heard in my head. O__0 That is both freaky and awesome.

  • What does the yellow box actually do?

  • @Gkthepwner

    ellen is afraid of yellow and enclosed spaces.

  • @grevious437 Oh, okay. Thanks :D

  • manna is the bread God gave to the israelites when then\y were wandering in the wilderness it fell from the sky just so u know

  • The United States of America, The United Kingdom and most of Europe's citizens would like to scream but seem to have no mouth as well at the moment, as democracy is lost and 99% of us get poorer month by month....

  • A.M, did you kill rita?

  • Fun Fact: the people who made this also made Darkseed 1 and 2.

  • @grevious437 In Ellen's scenario, it's revealed that she was raped in a yellow elevator by a man in a yellow suit. AM is torturing her psychologically by flooding her sight with yellow.

  • well they said he wasnt gay in the game they took that out

  • I liked the voice acting...

  • its just a game dude..

  • id like to play this game its different... and funny as well

  • wait, lottery tickets? sacrifices? now where have i heard that pair before?

  • how was ellen being tortured? all i saw was a yellow door thing moving back and forth...

  • So AM conquered the world through bad voice acting?

  • @rbrbran277

    Actually he's voiced by Ellison himself.

    Don't get me wrong, he's still bad, but hey, how awesome is that?

  • @rbrbran277 be nice. The actor for AM is actually the author of the story this game is based on.

  • @rbrbran277 i actually really like his voice acting. sure it's corney, but that just makes it better; it's like the computer is playing it up in hopes of being seen as "human" even though it's just a machine at its core.

  • @rbrbran277 I wouldn't say bad as much as really hammy.

  • @rbrbran277 Harlan Ellison himself did the voice acting of AM in the game. And yeah he's horrible at it.

  • GORRISTER!!!!!

  • AM makes GlaDos seem just misunderstood.  I mean what she did was for science...AM...is just messed up!

  • @InusSonCurtis what about SHODAN?

  • @SnipermarcusEXE Don't know SHODAN so I couldn't really comment on that.

  • @InusSonCurtis she is from system shock

  • @SnipermarcusEXE I game I've not heard of so I stand by my position. :D

  • Interesting game. Very interesting.

  • TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­D

  • ELLEN!!!!!!

  • I'm subbing :D

  • Damn this story is deep, making you think about the true reason we are here.

  • The boy needs to have a head and polished wood to go play in the hole.

    Everyone who is depressed because of this game\story just laughed a little.

  • You're awesome AM

  • not much about the charachters back stories is mentioned in the book, the game is mainly what provides the backstory for the book. The gay part of Benny is what they are talking about, but the gay storyline was meant to play a bigger part on the game, but they decided to cut it out for some reason or another.

  • I thought I recognized your voice...

  • Judas priest rules

  • Where can I get this game?

  • Wait, i thought AM killed everyone but the five? then whats up with the tribal monkey people?

  • that voice is awesome

  • @cris931609 It's the same man who wrote the story. Harlan Ellison. He is fuckign crazy.

  • "Are you honestly always thinking of your bloody stomach?"

    After a few years of starvation at the hands... circuits... whatever of AM, I'd imagine that's not only reasonable for him but also that that's an apt description of the state of his stomach.

  • I hope I'm not the only one who picked out an innuendo out of "polished wood"

  • @ldjx1000 Giygas (forgot his name) was only defending himself, he was an unborn child who did not want to die. It's kinda sad if you think about it.

  • The actual story was super demented if you ask me. There was no masked killer, no zombie attack, no haunted house, but it is horrific nonetheless.

  • cazy computer

  • This game is hands down the best horror game ever.

  • The guy who voiced AM reminds me of Joker.

  • "He had been handsome, the machine had ruined that. He had been lucid, the machine drove him mad. He had been gay, the machine gave him an organ fit for a horse"

    AM must REALLY hate Benny even amongst the ones he kept alive

  • Just bought this on ebay today! Can't wait to play it!!!

  • Comment removed

  • This is looking like quite the gem of a game. Thanks for LPing it as I would never have known about it otherwise. Now I'm off to enjoy the rest of the LP :)

  • Well, I would complain about my stomach if I haven't eaten in years!

  • No spoiler!!!!!

  • I've noticed this in your other DOS Game Walkthroughs. You're very good at tweaking your DOSBox settings for the most favorable high-resolution and crisp detail settings. I should put more effort into mine but I'm quite lazy, lol

  • In the book, Benny is a gay scientist. They changed his character in the game from a gay scientist to a demanding military officer who killed his entire unit.

  • scary stuff ;)

  • sounds like dr. breen....

  • It's not a book. It was originally a short story. A lot of stuff was just added on to flesh out the story enough to make a game. In the story, they find the canned goods, realize they can't open them and Benny snaps and starts gnawing on Gorrister's face. Ted realizes that AM won't prevent them from harming each other, so he kills Benny and Gorrister, Ellen kills Nimdok, and Ted kills Ellen. AM, now superpissed, turns Ted into a blob so he can't harm himself. He has no mouth, and he must scream.

  • @HuggumsMcgehee Thumbs up for a perfect 500 characters. yaaaaaay

  • I can tell just from the title already

  • I saw this on top 10 ftw and had to see a playthrough of it, and this is the best i could find. Your commentary provides an intelligent backdrop to the grim storyline that makes the entire ordeal just wonderful.

  • Hey, where do you download this game?

  • thumbs up if WingsOfRedemption brought you here :D

  • @Geetardudes Well he didnt but i assume you are talking about the time he was talking about this game on painkiller already i watch both necro and kyle,woody,wings but i watched this playthrough before i even started watching PKA

  • The worst part is, every one of them deserve this to at least a degree. Maybe not Gorrester and Ellen, but the rest? Yeah.

    Also, can somebody tell me what's going on in the torture devices? I mean, in explicet detail, and not just in general? I know what's happening with Nimdok and Ellen, but I'm completely lost on the rest.

    Oh, and is there any place I can get this game online and without going through a lot of trouble to set up dos box or something? Because I will pay to get around that.

  • @TheStrongBadMan Heya! Basically, Benny is in a POW chamber, since he was a war vet.. Gorrister.. I think he's in a padded room (like at the insane asylum his wife was in). As for Ted, I've been trying to figure it out for 6 months xDD; I haven't a clue about Ted. But those are my "educated guesses" :)

  • judas priest! Good to see he's a rocker.

  • Amusing commentary, no rushing through the plot, same nationality as me, no frustrated yelling at the screen of what to do next; This is shaping up to be my favourite RP of all time.

  • what recording program do you use

    

  • Ive watched all the videos you have on this game and I must say i truly enjoy your voice and how you get into the game.The British accent does wonders for the narration.You are one cool fuzzy little man peach

  • In fact, the book is a very short story, its plot is much simpler too. It really focuses even more on the bleakness of the situation in an almost minimalistic manner. But it's very fitting like it feels as if they are too tired to remember or too beaten down to reflect on it much. Theres also less room for redemption in the book...

  • The book was better :p

  • OH MAN! They mentioned Dr. Mengele here!

    That makes this awesome.

  • wait at 32:26 he has 3 arms did he always have that!?

  • thumps down if wings brougth you here

  • this game isn't as scary when your watching or playing it, yet if you stop playing, and start thinking about what happened during the game...

    especially when you get the bad ending...

    i watched your whole let's play before i went too bed.

  • This is a really helpful walkthrough/review video. Hell, I even laugh at a lot of the commentary. Good job!

  • Hmm the midi music is okay but I like the revised orchestra music more.

  • you no i think the lottery thing is from a short story i read in school they do the lottery and the winner is stoned to death

  • NECROSCOPE86!

  • 15:16 If that's the sentry then where's the dispenser?

  • i agree with you AM is by far the most terrifying presence in science fiction i ever heard

  • I have no bottom and I must fart

  • AM reminds me of a younger Dr. Breen

  • @AFishwithEars But he's older than Dr. Breen, and is also nothing like him? Breen isn't evil and just wanted to delay the destruction of the human race.

  • @jadine0949 Sorry Jadine

    

  • @Necroscope86 I like your commentary =D

  • @Necroscope86 I Love Your Commentary Necro

    GREAT!!!!!! Videos

  • @Necroscope86 Yea, fucking wanker.

  • @Necroscope86 You should of said "cool story bro"

  • @Necroscope86 That's what she said.

  • @Necroscope86 can you do a lets play of the game amnesia?

  • @jadine0949 Lets see you do better.

  • @jadine0949

    #asshole

  • @jadine0949 AGREE!!!

  • mmmm 13:51 yummy

  • AM hates humans, AM destroyed the world hmmm AM IS SKYNET!!!!

  • About the mana bit, he's referencing the bible. In the bible, god sent a fruit called mana from heaven to help his people. I believe it was during their voyage to the promised land. btw, did you ever notice the more cultured the author the more cultured their characters tend to be? XD

  • @obscuritylord I got the impression that the uploader was just remarking on the fact that Benny pronounces it "mana" (rhyming with the latter half of the word Americana or the name Donna) instead of "manna" (pronounced like nana.)

  • I find the expressive voice of AM somewhat hammy and uncharacteristic of a cold, hateful machine. However, if that's what the author envisioned, providing the voice himself, I suppose I can't argue with it. Still, from the description of this story I imagine a voice more like the HAL 9000.

  • @CrunchBogus I find it bizarre that this story was made into a game in the first place!

  • @obscuritylord Hey, it works.

  • Trope namer for "And I Must Scream."

  • TEEEEEEEEED!

  • ITS A GOD DAMN SUPER MARKET!

  • 109 years of barely eatting, I'd want alot of food too

  • tttttttEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDD

  • "What you have to do here folks is make the ultimate sacrifice...ask if you can eat the boy."

    -Immortal words of Necroscope

  • @mattitude281 LOL

  • heres what i think benny did: benny was hitting on brickman (if you know what i mean). brickman rejects benny's advances, angered benny shoots brickman. Thomas comes by trying to save brickman (not knowing who shot) with hopes of him being alive. Benny however, thought that if brickman was still alive, will tell who shot him. so benny shoots thomas to keep benny safe

    Tuttle somehow manages to find out benny was gay (overhearing benny's advances on brickman) and runs off. benny chases him

  • @Infernoman48 and drowns tuttle in the rice paddy to keep things quiet. benny runs off and finds murphy. murphy says that he was investigated gunshots and wanted to investigate and walks off. benny is frightened and shoots him in the back of the head to keep things quiet.

    however, thats just my theory of what benny did to his men

  • This LP made me look up a copy of Harlan Ellison's I have no mouth and I must scream novel collection on Amazon and buy it.

  • The narrator sounds like a twisted Charlie Sheen.

  • @NFTecknologic

    If by narrator, you mean AM, that's Harlan Ellison himself who wrote the short story that inspired this game.

    If by narrator, you mean necroscope86, you need your hearing checked.

  • @nexlazergirl I was talking about AM. I should of realized there were two narrators when I commented lol.

  • @NFTecknologic Normal charlie sheen.

  • Comment removed

  • I love this game, it's soo creepy when you let it get to you. But there's one thing that bothers me, that I can't figure out: The torture boxes in the beginning.

    Ellen: a yellow elevator - Got it

    Nimdok: an oven, similar to the ones used in the concentration camps.

    Benny: A POW torture chamber (?)

    Ted: (?)

    Gorrister: A padded torture room, similar to the padded room his wife is in (?)

    The ones with ?s I think I get, or I have no clue lol Anyone else understand the last 3? Especially Ted's..

  • @Bepbo can you explain Ellen's trap? i dont understand it...

  • @earearman Ellen was brutally beaten and raped in an elevator by a man in a yellow boiler suit, since then she's had a phobia of enclosed spaces and the colour yellow. Her torture is psychological, not physical.

  • Harlan's supposedly dying, likely of cancer. : ( Going to be a very sad day when he goes. I'd advise everyone to go see the autobiographical documentary they made of him, "Dreams With Sharp Teeth".  He's an original.

  • "I need head for friend"

    "Pardon? You're only a boy"

    That was great.

  • Benny was gay in the story, he was also a scientist. The game changes this and makes him an officer that got his squad killed (the game changes all the characters stories) Also AM's voice is Harlan Ellison himself :)

  • The voice for AM sounds like the same guy who voices Clarence in Penumbra...

  • in my opinion this game and Harlan Ellison's story gave rise to the robotic uprising over humanity theory so to say like the terminator franchise

  • My game get's bugged and Am only talks about the sacrifice being his wrath for the day, instead of telling me that the lottery needs to happen tomorrow.

  • Damn It AM

  • this is the first video i've seen of yours and im impressed mate ! definatly subbed

  • Great game, one of the best in horror style!

  • Interesting adaption of a great story. If you haven't read it Necro, you could just look it up on google.There's an only version somewhere. I wouldn't call it a book, though. It's only a short story. They greatly expanded the personalities of the characters in this version.

  • I see your name is Necroscope....did you read the books?

  • I finished watching this LP yesterday, and I read the short story today (you can google it, it's only like 14 pages). It's interesting to see AM fleshed out in this game (by the original author no less) having read the short story.

  • i get whats happening to all the others in their cages, but whats happening to elen?

  • @DemonLeo Basically it's like she's trapped in an elevator.

  • @DemonLeo she was raped in a yellow elevator or something like that

  • I think i've mentioned this before but your voice is awesome it sounds like Eames from Inception

    PS great vids and great game

  • I need head for friend "Naughty minded boy" xD

  • I never really understood how there were other people in the game when there are supposed to only be 5 people left alive

  • this game was ok, I didnt really get into it though. has anyone played Harvester? that looks pretty good

  • was benny in the army?

  • I've read the book 3 times, but have never seen this game. I loved the book to bits, so this, this will be awesome.

  • when the boy said he needed a head for his friend and you said he was naughty minded i didnt get it for a second... then i realised and all i could do was say in a very ashamed voice "necro!"

  • @69dh96 cool story

  • I so badly want to see AM fight GLaDOS. Worth watching.

  • @ShadowLexis i think AM would win because he's evil on purpose GLaDOS you can tell is just insane or a malfunction AM knows psycological warfare GLaDOS knows how to make a fake cake

  • @ShadowLexis Glados would win, everybody falls for the cake, no matter how powerful or evil

  • what an epic concept, i need to get my hands on this book

  • Somehow I imagined AM's voice to be different.

  • @Wyndrax That's the voice of Harlan Ellison.

  • I thought you did this one already. Or was that Kiko?

  • Is there anywhere to buy this game online?

  • mmmm....yay this game again!:D

  • Love it. The narration at the beginning is so great.

  • "I need head for friend"

    LOL

  • "The Lottery"

    I read that book

  • BENNY IS GAY!?!?!?!?!?!??!?! why??

  • @Ekidna2000

    He just is. It happens, you know :P lol

  • Originally Benny was an intelligent, handsome homosexual. In the story i dont think it was referenced if he tried to hide it, but it did say how he only thought of himself like a beast, so AM turned him into one with large genitals

  • i'm sorry but the way he said "TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EDD" is absolutely hilarious enough to make me forget about the pyschological damage this short story did to me for 10 seconds

  • The video quality and audio quality on this is outstanding.

  • Harlan Ellison is an amazing voice actor... usually too cheezy to be taken seriously, but as AM he is PERFECT!

    Plus i think it's so great you get to hear the authors actual take on his own character.
