Beneath A Steel Sky now freeware.

[agentgamma]

I think we'll be writing about Good Old Games a lot in 2009, if moves like this are anything to go on. Especially when those moves entail Beneath A Steel Sky being offered for free.

Yes, if you pop over to GOG's website and create a new account, you'll be able to download the classic 1994 adventure game free of charge. It'll even be optimised and compatible with your fancy new Windows XP/Vista machine.

But wait! There's more!

You'll also be able to download the just-as-classic Lure of the Temptress, which was developed by the same kids, Revolution Software. Lure is also completely free of charge.

Well? Go!

That's odd. The game has been freeware for years, ever since they added support for the Broken Sword games in ScummVM. At the same time they added support for Beneath a Steel Sky, and distributed it freely. Seems Kotaku is a bit out of the loop here.
