Short but Sweet

I wanted to play this first before delving into the later game "Beyond the Steel Sky" for the sake of reference and comparison. As of yet I have not played the other and will do so shortly. This game is a decent little retro point and click adventure. The only issue I had with it was that I got stuck a few times- there are very little to no hints in the game, and part of the issue was having to try to think in a way intended for the game- things it assumed then that might not be assumable now. It has a nice quirky sense of humour, sometimes refreshingly blunt. Most characters are voice acted with an english accent. Only your character has an "American" accent, probably to show that he is not from around there. ALl the same, the accents made the cheesy jokes even better. One warning, while the game is mostly "PG", the moment you step into the Bio center, you will have an obvious topless display- this area is affectively your plastic surgury center. This section with the imagery seems misplaced, considering the tone of the rest of he game. The alone would make me hesitate recommending it to anyone.

Classic Point & Click

One of the best point & click games ever, Beneath a Steel Sky is awesome. The characters, the setting, the puzzles, everything comes together to be much more than the sum of its parts. Absolute classic.

Worth Playing (since it's free)

This was my first time playing this title and I'll admit I have mixed feelings on it. The dialogue is hit or miss. I loved the Dr. Who reference but a lot of the dialogue became tedious after a while. Considering the year that this title was realeased (1994!!) the graphics and voice acting are pretty good. The plot is painfully predictable. The title was fun to play but given todays gaming standards I don't think I could justify paying money for it. Luckily the guys here have it up for free. Go ahead and try it out. You've got nothing to lose.

A solid fun adventure

It starts a bit silly, but this is a rock solid graphic adventure game. No random death. A reasonably coherent plot. Puzzles have reasonably logical solutions. A bit of humor. Easily ranks among the Lucasarts games in quality and style. For free, I recommend to every fan of adventure games.

Pretty good free game.

I bought this game first to see if I could download games on to my desktop succesfully before paying any money, and I was pleasantly suprised at the quality of this game. It has a cool story, simple controlls, and it has a nice sense of humor. Exepct it was a little hard to find out how to quit ( Hit F5 during the game) and I couldn't find cretain things to click on because they were jsut too small. It also was a little short, but for a free game, it was really great!
