Good Game: Beneath a Steel Sky (DOS)

A Good Game a day for the rest of time perhaps?

Today it’s Beneath a Steel Sky a 1994 cyberpunk science-fiction point-and-click adventure game developed by Revolution Software and published by Virgin Interactive for MS-DOS (DOS) and Amiga home computers. The game was made available as freeware for PC platforms in 2003.

Set in a dystopian future, the player assumes the role of Robert Foster, who was stranded in a wasteland known as “the Gap” as a child and adopted by a group of local Aboriginals, gradually adjusting to his life in the wilderness. After many years, armed security officers arrive, killing the locals and taking Robert back to Union City. He escapes and soon uncovers the corruption which lies at the heart of society.
