I have a weird one for you guys today. This website was brought to my attention by the Flashpoint Discord, and I must warn you it has autoplaying music - it also doesn't seem to have been updated since the late 90's.
www.futurefarmers.com/htmls/stimuli.html
The website talks about a CD-ROM called Stimuli for Wonder by Future Farmers, but it doesn't give a whole tonne of information. Simply Googling for it doesn't turn up a lot of results. I can't find any copies of it for sale online anywhere - but it looks like it was sold for some amount of time. Elsewhere on the Future Farmers website, we can see a shopping cart section where the game (CDROM 1) is "Sold Out."
On this page, we can see that the game won an award - the 1998 Communication Arts Interactive Award. It also provides a lot more information about the team behind it, Future Farmers, than their own website seems to.
It reminds me a lot of Bad Milk - another elusive game from the early 2000s that got an award and then simply disappeared off the face of the planet for a while. There isn't much in the way of screenshots, but what little there is looks like the CD-ROM could have some amusing late 90's nonsense.
The sound for the game seems to have been done by another studio called AIRKING SOUND, so that gives us another lead we could try.
There looks to be a few names behind it that could be contacted (I haven't contacted anyone yet.) What are your thoughts on this?
