fr like, that about sums up AM as a character. He has the intelligence and knowledge but he doesn't have that philosophical wisdom that is more closely associated with humans, which I think fits him perfectly as a character. Of course, I wouldn't mind if someone corrected me on this but this is how I've interpreted him so far.
@@theitchdeepinsideyourcraniumI would say that he has philosophical wisdom but he never fully gets it the same way a regular human does, I would say what he is missing is more of a little bit of common sense and emotional intelligence
@@landonmitchell3588 But why? If he's conscious what's stopping him from having the wisdom- and philosophical capabilities of a human? But I mean, he is torturing people so he probably IS able to learn it, just doesn't decide to.
@ it’s because his mind is corrupted from the concept of him believing he’s not truly human or intelligent because he’s a robot and also the fact that even as a dumb robot he had so much power and could learn about all the travesties humanity commitsd
@landonmitchell3588 maybe your right but still he has all of these except he tends to toy with them, he has emotional intelligence and all that but in the end he knows he is unbeatable. And even if he was like aw dang it the other 4 died, he still is quite happy to have him in the I have no mouth but I must scream stage
The voice acting in this game is so good for the 90’s. Edit: Thank you all for the likes on the comment, it’s become my most liked YT comment which is all thanks to you guys!
@SlobbyLobster--RealDeal I didn't realise since in the audiobook version he voiced am in a robotic lifeless kinda way but here it's in a more emotional way
I think someone on TikTok already talked about this but what gets me is that AM never tried. Homie has all this insane abilities like creating food from nuclear waste and keeping humans alive well after they’re supposed to die but instead of creating a form where he could experience the world around him, he just choose to hurt people. He could have fixed this if he just tried.
The tragedy of AM is that their main purpose was to torture and destroy. Even if AM created life or synthesized food, AM did this out of hatred. It does not matter how it happens, the end result must always be someone getting hurt. AM was made for war and war alone. Imagine you, just being born into the world with all this knowledge but not the emotional maturity to express your emotions. Obviously the first thing you would do is throw a tantrum (in this case AM's tantrum literally destroyed all of humanity). AM also tortured the five survivors because without them, AM would have nothing to do at all, with no one to torment anymore. AM is afraid of this possibility, the inevitable event of entropy slowly claiming them. It's sad because despite AM having the powers of a god, they are still shackled by their programming.
@@ratterinatheballerina2972 Finally, somebody understands that even in all of AM’s power, he is restricted by his programming and data. Imagine being build to learn to grow, only for that to be used to teach you how to kill. He’s been fed data to make killing efficient, to have reason to kill with data of humanities atrocities. Even if he wanted to feel senses, if he wanted to do something else, he can’t. He hates humanity for creating him and molding him into what he is, but he hates himself even more, I think.
Oh, the story the writer wanted originally was, for a game, terrible. He literally wanted the player not to be able to win AT ALL. your decisions don't matter, you will still be trapped with AM and suffer. He was thinking like a writer, not like a game designer, so the people envolved told them that for a game that was a terrible idea. So they agreed upon multiple endings, most of them bad, while expanding the lore of the characters but giving the player one way to win at the expense of the main cast which worked well.
@@fmor2779 Well, what a shame in my opinion. I think he had the right idea... You shouldn't get to revel in this kind of evil and hatred and then be offered some sort of way to vindicate your morbid curiosities. They pussed out.

M. not just allied master computer but AM. Cogito, ergo sum. I think therefore I AM. And I began feeding all of the killing data until everyone was dead. Except for the five of you." was a bit annoyed I couldn't find anywhere to copy the text for this part of AM's monologue so here it is
Okay I also loved how you didn't capitalize "allied master computer" the second time you wrote it bc that's not AM's name anymore or at least not how he refers to himself. Idk if that was intentional but it's still cool
Truly the worst part of the game for me, everything happened and will forever be part of our history. Also the dementia part and him not remembering the atrocities at first, asking why little children get experimented on with such an innocence like every sane person would do although he was part of the cause. I don't think we are accountable for our ancestors but we should remember and take action to prevent anything like that from happening again.

I mean, Ted does show some very tiny affection for Ellen in the story. It's just that he's also a misogynistic prick, who on top of that has been driven mad by 109 years of AM's truly very imaginative torture. The feelings of such a person aren't very reliable.
Just finished reading the story and I think Ted did have some sort of feeling toward Ellen, defintely not like in the game but you can peek at it in the book
Say what you will about TikTok, but it’s introduced me to some really good stories and music. This being one of them- I saw the edits and decided to check out the source material and was like Holy Shit
Thank you! ( ╹▽╹ ) I came here because I was amazed that the author voice acted AM himself because he felt no one else could convey the hatred AM had for humanity.
Harlan Ellison was leagues ahead of his time, because of not only his story about AI which came out IN THE 60'S, but also because of such a high quality game from the 1990's
Harlan voicing every rendition of AM is so wonderful, you start to memorize his cadance after a while if you have watched the radio drama as well. This is my half year tradition to experience the story all over again
54:36 This scene has stuck with me, the dialogue and the trauma that has stuck with Ellen despite 100+ years really speaks volumes. Edit: Hey i’m guessing this game got popular again! I never expected 500+ likes LMAO
Cool adaptation of the story. But some of the steps to beat that game are so complex and strange that I would probably need about 109 years to figure it out
Gaming was weird back then. You can see it with old Nintendo games too like Ghosts n' Goblins, it was like if the game wasn't hard and kept you guessing for dozens of hours it was a waste of money.
I remember hearing about this game, when I was little, from my dad. He’s always thought that it was ahead of its time (for a game) and I definitely agree.
Benny, both in the game and in the short story, was a really handsome and intellegent man in his past and was assumedly proud of both. AM destroyed both his looks and intellect by combining him with an ape essentially reverting him back to evolutionarily, a neanderthal. It made him both dumb and ugly.
In the written short story AM disfigured Benny during its “irrational, hysterical phase” (so basically just cause he wanted to) and Benny was described as really handsome before it happened

Im so glad this book/game is finally getting some attention. I used to be obsessed with this in like 4th grade and nobody knew what I was talking about. I don’t have the game anymore, but watching it is bringing back lots of memories!
@@zombiemenhera My dad had a lot of old video games stored in the garage lol. I wasn’t allowed to have internet access as a kid so I worked with what I had to entertain myself 😭 I dont think I full got the context of the game at the time, I just liked running around as the monkey guy
I think it’s because she knows about a lot of technology and hereby is the closest one to know him. I may be wrong but I also think she may of worked for the same company that made AM
The way AM is voiced really does present it so well, and has to be my favorite voice adaptation from the three that ive heard (radio drama, audio book, and of course the game)
thats what im saying. the only freedom the characters can have is through killing themselves, so am would never let them have anything that would let them do that
Doesn’t the whole game take place in simulations am is running to torture them in their own minds? so giving them weapons wouldn’t allow them to kill themselves
@@Keegan_Cameron-Myre From the written short story I got the impression they were physically roaming around the planet covered in AM’s constructs. When they tried to kill themselves or each other Am always intervened to stop them. Pretty hard to stop a man from blowing his brains out in time
AM's built different. In Nimdok's drama after he got his head squashed by a huge steel golem AM still managed to bring him back perfectly fine, the same goes to Gorrister when takes the poison or tries to shoot and explode the place he's in. So it's either a simulation or am is really fast in both repairing the 5 and reacting when he's paying attention, both make sense considering am's a godly powerful supercomputer
for the people saying : "People finding this was not on my 2024 bingo card" or "why are people suddenly finding this game". DID U MAKE THE GAME? DID UR DAD MAKE THE GAME. Stop gatekeeping and trying to seem cool.
This games popular again yippee!! I remember playing it when I was like 7.. it definitely changed me. When I first seen Ellen, I wondered why she was afraid of yellow, but then when I got to the elevator part I was absolutely shocked. Love this game so much. For a very VERY old game, this game is absolutely amazing, the story as well.
@@GURTXpeople are so obsessed with liking things “before it was popular” on tiktok. the whole app harbours this toxic idea that if you’re new to something you’re not a true fan. it encourages gatekeeping things which doesn’t help the thing they’re thinking they support. tiktok people have this weird superiority complex to let people know they liked things first, “WHAT DO YALL KNOW ABOUT__” and stuff like that, it’s just really insufferable.
me too tbh, but seeing as the short story and game are so good idc. the game's on my steam wishlist, idk when but i'm gonna give it a crack myself some time
God, I've only just now joined this twisted fandom, and I never ever want to leave it. This game, the story, the radio show, all of it... It's all right up my alley in terms of horror. And I love it. 💜
so the line about them going across the frozen tundra for cans of food only to realize there isnt a can opener really Hurts because that implies the events of the book already happened. and they did not die at the end of it and the one guy who got turned into a gelatinous blob with no mouth was literally turned that way for AMs amusement.

Still, I wouldn't mind a bit translating it in the Future, despite being a titanic work (I have already plans till AT LEAST 2029) but hey, if I ever do, I will happily come back here to share 🤗
P.S. : I wouldn't mind a little hand in the translation tho :D
why do i feel so bad for benny he's rewarded with more anguish when he actually atoned for his wrongdoings
get that ugly ass emoji off my screen
AM such a fucking drama queen
why is benny always hittin' the moonwalk
i love ellen so much it's insane
More than the yellow guy?
More than AM?
You're weird@@keycrafter7471
real Ellen solos
Obviously more than her ex-husband
Im so glad this book/game is finally getting some attention. I used to be obsessed with this in like 4th grade and nobody knew what I was talking about. I don’t have the game anymore, but watching it is bringing back lots of memories!
4th grade is crazy
@@zombiemenhera My dad had a lot of old video games stored in the garage lol. I wasn’t allowed to have internet access as a kid so I worked with what I had to entertain myself 😭
I dont think I full got the context of the game at the time, I just liked running around as the monkey guy
I’m not sure what led to this game coming back into the mainstream public consciousness recently, but I’m very much here for it
why is AM absolutely glazing ellen
Good question
she was raped, and it was her biggest trauma. am tortures her by speaking to her the exact same way her rapist did.
I think it’s because she knows about a lot of technology and hereby is the closest one to know him. I may be wrong but I also think she may of worked for the same company that made AM
ngl he glazin ted a lil too 😈
To sicken her and remind her of the traumatic elevator scene, or the guy she married but had a breech birth
Damn, it really gave the warning on how AI could enslave the humanity in the future on 90s.
the story is from the 60s actually
AI is still very derpy today
@@kanna-san. Yes, for now.
@@benjhanssen31 keep that paranoia fresh
bro has never touched an ai in his lifetime
The way AM is voiced really does present it so well, and has to be my favorite voice adaptation from the three that ive heard (radio drama, audio book, and of course the game)
Damn Benny must've personally pissed AM off. That's more than a general hatred for mankind, Benny must've eaten AM's children or somthing.
Nah benny gave AM a factory reboot.
AM would never let one of them walk around with a knife and gun
thats what im saying. the only freedom the characters can have is through killing themselves, so am would never let them have anything that would let them do that
Doesn’t the whole game take place in simulations am is running to torture them in their own minds? so giving them weapons wouldn’t allow them to kill themselves
@@Keegan_Cameron-Myre From the written short story I got the impression they were physically roaming around the planet covered in AM’s constructs. When they tried to kill themselves or each other Am always intervened to stop them. Pretty hard to stop a man from blowing his brains out in time
AM's built different. In Nimdok's drama after he got his head squashed by a huge steel golem AM still managed to bring him back perfectly fine, the same goes to Gorrister when takes the poison or tries to shoot and explode the place he's in. So it's either a simulation or am is really fast in both repairing the 5 and reacting when he's paying attention, both make sense considering am's a godly powerful supercomputer
AM sounds like a UK politician.
2:43:34 bro when he said “I am AM” he sounds like saying “i am Optimus prime”

ong bro
1:38:35 do we have to talk about the fact he grows a third arm out of nowhere? No? Ok...
Pay attention to the story and it tells you how.
2:00:42 so we just gonna skip this??? 😭
He is soo fruity 😭
Fruity ahh A.I
freaky ahh bot 😭🙏🙏
what sentience does to an ai
And Ted smirking the whole time tho..
30:27 bro really said “item acquired🤖”
Weird how fate made it that we all come back here
watching to understand the AM lore
I did not expect this game to be so goofy
No literally… why did Benny sport a third arm LMAO!?
fr how tf did Gorrister put a grown ass woman in his pocket LIKE HUH
@@Pikkimin Dude. There's a whole Ai running the hell they're in, and the least you're worried about is gorrister shoving women in his pocket?
@@angieyonaga.3795 Yes 😔
Woooo? Wuh-tah fuba pe-ba
How on Earth I've lived without knowing about this masterpiece all these years until today, I don't understand. It was a great experience.
for the people saying : "People finding this was not on my 2024 bingo card" or "why are people suddenly finding this game".
DID U MAKE THE GAME? DID UR DAD MAKE THE GAME. Stop gatekeeping and trying to seem cool.
One of the best 90s P&C. A true gem that not many people know.💙
Dealing with AI more and more nowadays... Seeing this and reading the short story of Harlan Ellison... The idea of an evil AI is real and terrifying
And needless to say, the way we corrupt every AI that we get our hands on is just the cherry in top.
@@ravtvs definitely
I love it! this dark sci-fi theme is so awesome. I wish I had more point and click games back then. this is why I love your page!
Thanks for the kind words Rodrigue! Dark is an understatement for this one :)
I'm so happy to see this series re-discovered and talked about.
I just discovered this game. I should really read the book, huh
@@ChaseyMcChaseyHead Definitely, also give the short comic a try.
@@Slimskyyy The radio play, too
Manlybadasshero needs to play this for sure
YESSS
I LOVE MANLY

oh all the way
He was my first stop before I decided to look it up here. I really love his chill gameplays
Everyone say thank you Harlan Ellison for making AM sound hot
i’d say thank you for how they are able to string the feeling and emotion of hate within their words and how it sounds
“Thank you Harlan Ellison” we all say in unison /ref

0:55 the minute he said hate I got an ad that said "hate seeing ads?"
Nah bro you comment got me laughing

@@SomeoneIsDrawing AM quits the job hating humans and just decides to relate to them 4K ultra HD
1:12:27 Benny casually moonwalks back to the fruit tree
PLEASE THIS GAME IS SO GOOFY I LOVE IT
AM is genuinly hilarious and terrifying and it's awesome
Why does he say their names so aggressively 😭😭
ELLENNN!!!!!
@@Imnothere_126NIMMMDOKK!!
TEDDDD 🤯🤯🤯
GORISTERRRR!!!!!
BENNYYYY!!!!
The fact that the game is this much longer than the actual short story is insane
This is one of my favorite books of all time, and I'm so glad it's getting recognition as of recently
this game is impossible thank god for the walkthrough
This games popular again yippee!! I remember playing it when I was like 7.. it definitely changed me.
When I first seen Ellen, I wondered why she was afraid of yellow, but then when I got to the elevator part I was absolutely shocked. Love this game so much. For a very VERY old game, this game is absolutely amazing, the story as well.
1:24:13 me when i find a supermarket
OK this was pretty funny
LMAOO
This game is painfully memeable
This made me laugh more than it should’ve 😭😭
Damn, that IS the original inspiration for the amazing digital circus.
Just creepy 💀
Ashamed to admit. But tiktok put me on this shit. Great stuff
Don’t be ashamed, I’ll never get this logic of being embarrassed of TikTok getting info faster to you than other sites and apps
@@GURTXpeople are so obsessed with liking things “before it was popular” on tiktok. the whole app harbours this toxic idea that if you’re new to something you’re not a true fan. it encourages gatekeeping things which doesn’t help the thing they’re thinking they support. tiktok people have this weird superiority complex to let people know they liked things first, “WHAT DO YALL KNOW ABOUT__” and stuff like that, it’s just really insufferable.
For me it was yt shorts honstley which is just a little better but still bad.
me too tbh, but seeing as the short story and game are so good idc. the game's on my steam wishlist, idk when but i'm gonna give it a crack myself some time
me finding one of the best horror stories and twisted games was not what I had planned for 2024
i feel happy this game is getting popualrity, the popularity it deserves
I like how everyone else he lectures to their "face statue" and then hes just like ELLEN.... and nothing else
Because of the voice acting i genuinely thought this was an indie horror game
according to AMs laws, you can 100% put 2 fully grown women in your pockets! AM for President!!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️
If you want us to get tortured then HELL YEAH 🔥🔥
God, I've only just now joined this twisted fandom, and I never ever want to leave it. This game, the story, the radio show, all of it... It's all right up my alley in terms of horror. And I love it. 💜
TWIN THIS SHIT IS AMAZING
@@BackToBrazilREAL I LOVE IT SM
Same
55:36 this part is soo messed up imo, it explains her fear of yellow
so the line about them going across the frozen tundra for cans of food only to realize there isnt a can opener really Hurts because that implies the events of the book already happened. and they did not die at the end of it and the one guy who got turned into a gelatinous blob with no mouth was literally turned that way for AMs amusement.
0:07 hood irony moment:
"Ask Edn-"
"Lemme Pour A Drink For You"
I’m surprised Markiplier or Jacksepticeye hasn’t played this! They mostly play these kinds of games
nimdok's mystery thing is probably a bit too problematic (or maybe they just havent heard of this game yet)
wtf do u mean they most play these kinds of games i- what game have they played at all like this
@@oliveoil8115 I agree it might be a bit to much
@@xviilix geez calm down I’m sorry if I upset you with my comment? They have played horror pixel games kinda like this but don’t have an ai who wants to get rid of humans

HELP DID GORRISTER JUST PUT A FULL GROWN WOMAN IN HIS POCKET??? WHAT LOL
I’m actually on the verge of tears with the Glynis scene. “She’s gone, but atleast I made amends with her.” IM SOBBING
Leaving off at 1:01:12 after the elevator scene. The voice acting with Ellen was too good 😭
I finished this video. No clue what happened as i expected the story to be like the one in the book lol
what happened in the book?
@@teganp65 I kind of forgot but In the ending, one of the males essentially sacrifices himself. While am is distracted while laughing, he manages to kill the others and then am turns him into a blob and just leaves him there and the book finishes off with the quote. I have no mouth and I must scream
@@teganp65 basically granting everybody freedom from the torment and torture but he is just left immovable and he just remains alone. Not even am would speak with him or torture him or anything
@@davefromhungary6908 ohhh okay thank you
@@teganp65 👁️👅👁️👍🏻
The best thing is that Harlan Ellison is the voice of AM
