After the Dungeons and Dragons fantasy setting of Revolution’s first game, Lure of the Temptress, Revolution decided to go down a completely different avenue with its second adventure game, Beneath a Steel Sky, that of Science Fiction. A bleak vision of the future was imagined, where mind control and medical science combined forces to repress the populace. Leading comic artist, Dave Gibbons, joined the design team to visualize this desperate landscape. The result, released in 1994, was the cult classic Beneath a Steel Sky.
Beneath a Steel Sky was produced for Amiga and PC.
In August 2003, BASS was made available for free download and is now classed as freeware. The sources and resource files are available from http://www.scummvm.org Using this new engine, BASS can be played on XP, MacOS, Linux, Amiga and pocketPC.
Lure of the Temptress was Revolution’s very first adventure game and work began on it in 1989, even before Revolution’s inception as an actual games development company. From the start our aim was to consider the contemporary adventures of the day and then bring something new to the genre. From this came the Virtual Theatre engine. VT allowed in-game characters to wander around the gameworld indepently of each other, living their own lives and doing their own thing. Another feature allowed the player to give direct orders to Helper characters – in this case Ratpouch – who would then go off to perform the task. These technology concepts were certainly unique, though Revolution were not sure how to develop them further in subsequent games. Nonetheless, the result was a quirky and entertaining adventure game that kicked off Revolution’s fondness for characterisation and in-game humour.
Lure of the Temptress was originally released for ST, Amiga and PC. If you have problems running the game you can use DosBox emulator.
