I first played through "Beneath a Steel Sky" (1994) over a decade after its release. The game felt retro at the time, but doesn't feel any older 20 years later.

It's an adventure game set in a dystopian future, in Australia (a popular location for dystopian futures). It's also a more serious game than what you'd get from LucasArts, but still humourous often enough (as adventure games should be).

The voices don't always match the text exactly, which can be annoying.

I distinctly remember seeing the box art for "Beneath a Steel Sky" (1994) in catalogues and supermarket brochures. I don't know exactly what its minimalist sobriety made me think the game would be like, but it didn't quite match what the game actually was once I first played it.

Still memorable though.
