GPU as a term appeared in 1999. I believe Matrox made first addon video card in 1978. *cough*

Hmm I see why its free now.. might have been good back in the days where 8MB GPU was amazing, don't have patience for games like that now

Agreed. It was cool back in the day. Great game no question. But then again, VCR's used to be cool. Doesn't mean I want to hook one up and use it again...

Th old graphics cards of the era don't qualify a gpus, some of the early workstation cards could, but that's something entirely different.

Care to explain how so, please?


On an unrelated note and more to the topic, perhaps, people these days play a lot of much bigger total fire-and-forget turds that just happen to be more flashy colored, but fail at every single good game design principle there is. I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

Mine Dled at 1.1mbs. Steel sky looks good too. Finding fallout hard, not even sure how to deal with rats without loosing hp.

Gonna have to disagree with you on that one. I play 95% offline rpg and there are ALOT that I would take over a game made from back in the day.

Umm... yeah.
I forgot to add that I meant iOS and Android marketplace games, the so damn overrated mobile stuff.

You mean on gog.com or in general?'

thanks for the heads up.

Beneath A Steel Sky was really enjoyable. Great story and nice futurist locations. Has speech audio too, which not all point and clicks games have. Small development team, counted 48 people in the credits, compared to games now days.
