Beneath a Steel Sky is a 2D point-and-click science fiction thriller set in a bleak vision of the future, originally published for DOS and the Amiga. You are Robert Foster, an innocent outsider stranded in a vast city where oppressed civilians live and work in soaring tower blocks... whilst the corrupt, covetous and rich live underground, safe from all pollution. Alone, save for a robot circuit board, Foster must fight for survival - and discover the sinister truth behind both his own past and the city he has found himself trapped in.

BASS - PC

We've included an addition to this CD in the form of a PC installer for BASS (Windows only - XP, NT, ME, 2000, 98, 95), thanks to Clem, this program will install ScummVM and the BASS floppy version on your PC with no additional settings or files required.
Once you have burnt your CD, pop it into your CD/DVD drive on your PC, browse for the 'Extra' directory, within there you'll find 'BASS_SETUP_R7.EXE', run the exe to launch the installer, the setup program will guide you through the rest of the installation.
If you want to play the CD talkie version of BASS on your PC, browse the CD for the 'BASS1' directory, drag and drop or copy and paste the 'SKY.CPT', the 'SKY.DNR', and the 'SKY.DSK' files within there to the location on your hard drive where BASS is installed (the default location is 'C:Program Files/Beneath a Steel Sky/sky-data'), overwrite the existing files within that directory, launch BASS and have fun!.
