Maybe.Beneath A Steel Sky Storyline My name is Robert Foster. Up until twenty four hours ago I lived in a place called the Gap. I’ve lived with a peaceful tribe of nomads for as long as I can remember. Today, as our tribal leader predicted, security forces from Union City came to our location. They were only interested in finding one man, me. Why I don’t know. After being forced at gun point into the heletransport, my peaceful village was destroyed. It was then that I vowed revenge. I must find who was responsible for bringing me here and having so many innocent people killed. On our voyage in, our heletransport crash landed somewhere in the city. Before I fled the transport, I was able to recover the character board from my robotic companion, Joey. I was also able to grab these security manuals and files about this city and its residents. Hopefully, with Joey’s help, they can give me the information I need to get through this nightmare. If you should find this manual I hope you will continue my fight to rid this city of the oppressive forces that crush the inhabitants’ free will. The revolution must be fought with or without me.Product Features:Take on the role of Robert FosterFoster’s fate is in your handsSophisticated “Virtual Theatre” cyberworld creates an environment where every action has repercussionsEvery character exists outside its current locationOver 100 locations designed and art directed by award-winning comic book author Dave Gibbons (of The Watchmen fame)Talk to the inhabitants of Union City to help in your progress of obtaining cluesSystem Requirements: DOS 3.3 or later: IBM PC or 100% compatible with 386 processor or better, 2MB of RAM (of which 550K free base memory), 256 color VGA graphics, CD-ROM Drive with consistent transfer rate of 150kps and MSCDEX installed, Printer.
