Having a LOT of fun playing this. It’s the talkie and MT-32 versions at the same time using SKYDRV.

    Screw everyone else. That desk is sick.

    It looks like it folds up to a little cabinet which I adore

    This game is free on Linux.

    For Ubuntu, just

    sudo apt install beneath-a-steel-sky
    

    And you can start playing.

      It’s freeware on all systems and can be played using ScummVM which has builds for most major platforms - the game files are free to download from ScummVM.org (as well as some other adventure games that have been made freeware like Flight of The Amazon Queen)

    From top to bottom: nice games, very good to put SSDs in a floppy-disk box, nice shitty retro mouse, but WTF is the McDonalds rack at the bottom?

    What is skydrv?

    I wasn’t aware you could play with MT-32 music and the speech together, would love to give it a try.

    I love BASS - excellent choice in a game to play!

    Edit: also your collection of adventure game classics in their original boxes are great. I have almost all those games from my childhood and love them all.

    That was a fun game, I like that the main character’s last name is Austrailian for “beer”

      This was the dream of the 90s. I had every piece of equipment and media disc displayed and wanted a desk that “fit” my monitors sooooo bad.

      Nowadays it’s all about subtly (my tastes have shifted, too) but back then the aesthetic was a full square meter that shouted “THIS IS THE COMPUTER ZONE!!!”
