If $5.99/$9.99 wasn't cheap enough for you, digital PC games distributor Good Old Games (GOG) has offered up a couple classic point-and-click titles from Revolution Software (RS) for free download.

RS are the guys behind the Broken Sword series -- so perhaps users like Killosity can start anticipating those games coming to the shop soon.

Beneath a Steel Sky (BASS) is the first game, where you play Robert Foster, the only survivor in a plane crash in cyberpunk Australia's Outback.

The second game is Lure of the Temptress. Set in a fantasy world, you become a peasant named Diermot and attempt to bring order to a rebellious town. After this goes arye, you are thrown from your mount and wake up in a dungeon. From there you must escape and "rid the town of its evil enchantress and her minions."

Both games come with manuals; BASS comes with some neat extras, including a comic book!

Both games were developed by Revolution Software and famously introduced the Virtual Theatre game engine, which enabled non-playable characters to interact with the environment without players interaction. The two games have been wrapped with GOG.com's smooth and slick installers, and “Beneath a Steel Sky” even includes Dave Gibbons’ comic book inspired by the game itself.

“We're very happy that we've managed to get those two great classics before the holidays. The free games are a sort of ‘thank you’ to GOG.com users who have been supporting us since our beta launch”, said Adam Oldakowski, Managing Director of GOG.com. “We like to get things for free as much as anyone else, and we think that these games represent great introductions to classic PC gaming and to the entire GOG.com experience.”

Both games are now available on GOG.com. Everyone who creates an account at GOG.com can download both games and all additional materials for free. The release of free games on the service is part of the “GOG.com fever month” action which has seen the additions of classic PC games like Arx Fatalis, Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee and Simon the Sorcerer to the games catalogue. As always, expect news about new features, new releases and more in the coming days.”
