Beneath a Steel Sky (1994)
Description
Robert Foster is an innocent outsider stranded in a vast city where oppressed civilians live and work in soaring tower blocks... while the corrupt, covetous and rich lie underground, shielded from all pollution. Alone, save for a robot circuit board, Foster must fight for survival... and discover the sinister truth behind his abduction...
Paranoid population. Psychotic criminals. Power hungry corporation. Big Brother government. Haves and have nots.
In the not so impossible future. In the melting pot of Union City. All man's social problems are coming to a boil. Under the claustrophobic lid of a steel sky.
From the pit of the industrial level to the belly of commercial sector, to the spheres where the rich and powerful play. It's Man against Man. Man against Machine. Man against Time. In an urban hell only you can liberate... Maybe.
Featuring Revolution's Software innovative Virtual Theatre system, Beneath a Steel Sky is a gripping science fiction point and click adventure game in the cyberpunk genre. Over 100 locations designed and art directed by award-winning comic book author Dave Gibbons (Watchmen fame). His comic book, inspired by the game itself, is included to complete the content.

The worst of these GOG freebies by far!
Released 1994? Well I had this in 1991 on the Amiga 500! So it's certainly much older than 1994. Three years made a big difference to the "tech-level" of games in the 90s! Never liked it on the Amiga, think I played it for an evening and never went back. It was proclaimed at as a breakthrough game back then, and is considered an Amiga "classic" even now. This PC version is worse still! I couldn't even get out the first game location! A big pile of FAECES! An opinion not popular in the forums when I expressed it a few years back! Well, sorry fanbois, but tuff titties. It's FAECES!

Warning, unexpected adult content!
One night I was bored and this was free so I said to myself "what the heck I'll give it a whirl." I had fun playing it for a couple of hours but then I stumbled upon a plastic surgery clinic with graphic posters and an adult magazine. Not happy to stumble upon adult content, uninstalled immediately. Not to mention some off-color dialog. I much prefer monkey island and other point and click adventures that are more family friendly.

A waste of space on my hard drive
...needless to say, I know why this game is free. If I had paid for it, I would have been so disappointed that I would probably never revisit gog.com again. It may have been fun in the "old days" of computer games...but there is a reason the ice-block maker went out of business when refrigeration was invented. Don't waste your time...next!
