Spend, spend, spend!!! - Tell us about the GAMES you've bought, found, or .... whatever! :-)

Um, I just went back to photobucket now and there's still no way that I can upload my image of a game that just arr - photobucket changed their format/look. I clicked on the bulk uploader link but this never stops loading - it 's taking forever to load. Ang, am wondering if you might be able to help me with this new changed photobucket?


Yesterday I was awake for 36 hours when I made that post last night but today I feel better having got a good night's sleep.

EDIT - just signed up at ImageShack and uploaded the photo successfully - here it is - the game I just bought. More may be on the way via a trade.



I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream

I wonder if this game might be good therapy for these who are down in the dumps??

I don't think I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream is the kind of game that you could call good therapy for those down in the dumps

LOL Hats..No kiddin..

K..I am so glad you got some sleep . Sure I can help you. I just can't figure out why photobucket isn't being very cooperative. You have used them in the past and the new format should be better not worse.

I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream would be a good candidate for a game to kind of depress and disturb a person more than anything else, hehe. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on the game after you play through it.

Congrats on getting the game K !!!!!!!!

Hi K..I have an extra IHNMAIMS strat guide if you are interested. I may have an extra mouse pad..I'll look. Since you didn't get the boxed version..the mouse pad is an inlay on the front of the box.

P.S. I received my first strat guide from Mr. Ellison. He is from my home city and went to college here at OSU.He signed it and wrote little notes with my name on several pages. Witty fellow. Of course that guide is now sealed in plastic. It is one of my most thrilling possesions. He also sent the book, a graphic novel and mouse pads.

Very cool Ang !! The closest I can come to that , is a signed comic (signed by the editor) adapted from the Beauty And The Beast tv show .

Cool Faust..I loved that show!

So did I ! Unless I'm mistaken , the show still airs on occasion , on the sci-fi & chiller channels (directv) .

What if the people in the game aren't real humans (if the game came true) but computerized androids (like Star Trek's Data only they have human emotion chips inside them) that are programmed to act like a human and display emotion? I haven't played it yet but I gave it some thought and I came up with the idea of the people in the game being robots rather than actual people. I'm thinking of approaching the gameplay from this angle.

Also someone on GameTZ wants to sell me Welcome To The Future for $20 + S + H, and I was thinking of taking him up on his offer - asked him if he can hold it for 2 wks until my birthday but he said he can only hold it for another 2 or 3 days. I searched Amazon and found a copy for $3.98 + S & H listed by pcgames-replay as "like new", so I grabbed the game b/c I think this game is hard to find.

And I found Lighthouse the Dark Being selling for as low as $1.75 and up at Amazon but I didn't buy it I'm just going to to put it in my Amazon cart and wait until Aug 2 to order it. I'm also hoping to get Comer someday.

Hello - anyone here in the Spend, Spend, Spend thread here at AP?

Just wanted to tell you guys that 2 more games arrived - one was a pre-birthday gift from Ang (thanks, Ang) here at AP -



The pre-B-day gift from Ang;



Game I received in trade from someone at GB.

Congrats on the games !!

I enjoyed playing Paris 1313, except for the fiddly open the letter puzzle.

2 more arrivals to the future IyIMeeMe Palace, Pointers! They are:



and



I already cropped/resized both of these photos to 640 x 480 before I posted them here at AP, but I guess it takes some time for the edited images to show up both on photobucket and here at AP, so be patient, guys.

This WTTF could be yet another of these unknown games that I had 15 yrs. ago but had gotten rid of because at that time I lacked game walkthroughs, didn't know they even existed, or that these gaming sites even existed, and didn't pay too much attention to the title/box/jewelcase image/title. But I will know once I install it and start playing it.

I have Welcome to the Future and Secrets of the Luxor in beautiful big boxes.

Oh, you Pointers are so lucky to be able to get these games in their boxes - all I got is them in JC or paper sleeves.



Anyway - here's a screenshot of Welcome To The Future's opening screen at start of gameplay. It's that unknown game that I got at a computer show but had gotten rid of as I got hopefully stuck in it/unable to advance b/c of lack of a w/t (this was mentioned in my latest post above Hat's post), all without paying too much attention to the title - but as soon as I saw it on Amazon, I dimly recalled the Blue Sky thingy, so I knew that this was that unknown game that I started wanting back a year (May 2009) ago when I thought it's title was Ringworld or Ring.

Hi Ang. I looked for Secrets of the Luxor for a very long time before finally finding it a few months ago. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you in your search.

Hi A-Peers's

Just wanted to show you another new arrival to Castle GreyFuss. This one has eluded me for quite some time but has finaly made it to the dungeon.

Oh GreyFuss what an absolutely fantastic find. Beautiful box. Very rare. Lucky you

hatshepsut

That's a terrific find, GF!

ohhh. that tree of life game looks like something I would like. i have Ark of Time and Secrets of the luxor. Lets us know what you think about the Tree of life game.

I've never even heard of that game, Greyfuss.
I found some screenshots for it here
http://www.piri.net/en/ptesen.html
It looks like it's full of puzzles.
Let us know how you like it.

Thank you gruefeeder for the link. It looks interesting.

Piri: The Explorer Ship was made in 1998. It might be a little obscure. It is very rare. You can also read a little about the game found at Adventure Points data base found Here and Piri in the data base.

I tracked down a boxed copy of Piri maybe a year or so ago. I installed it on my older WinXP computer, and it played pretty good except was glitchy on the opening movie for some reason. Luckily, the game gave the option to skip the movie so the game wouldn't crash on me. I'm looking for others to play through this game because I couldn't progress very far at all! And no walkthroughs that I could find either. There is this big database of information that one can sort through giving all kinds of facts about Piri and the era he lived in. There must be a way to input map coordinates to travel around and explore, but I admit to being flummoxed. So until I get some help from other players, I'm stuck on this (unmoving) ship, haha. I guess I'm not much of an explorer after all.

K515: That WTTF game looks interesting. I picked it up quite a while back but for whatever reason it has remained on my "to play" list. I hope you enjoy it. And happy birthday by the way! That is very sweet of Ang to send you a birthday game! By the way Ang, my b-day is on Jan 23rd if you want to file that lil' tidbit away. <wink>
