One of the best point-and-click adventures EVER is now FREEWARE!

And, to make it better, it uses a new Engine so it can be played in XP, Mac, and Linux!

I think it's like GTA (freeware and commercial version, nearly identical), but I'm not sure. You could always e-mail Revolution.

The website where BASS is up for download lists two versions, a CD version [60-something MB] or a floppy version [7 MB]. Which should I download? Is the CD version worth the time?

Edit Note: I seem to have discovered a small bug in the smileys. I originally used parentheses rather than brackets for the file size listings which caused them to look like this: (7 MCool I doubt this usually causes much trouble, but I thought I'd mention it.

The CD version has voice acting, which is worth it to me.

I spend 2 or 3 more hours dowloading just for voice acting? I think I'm getting the Floppy version... Unless there's anything else.

Why don't you just leave the computer on overnight?

There's nothing else special though.

That's the point. At least I can't wait dozens o' hours before I can install. Better a small zip which has only the game that another that has CD musics and videos too. (Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!)

Gamehippo gave BASS the red circle of doom (i.e. violent content).

Can anyone tell me exactly what sort of "content" violent or otherwise there is in the game?

Strip clubs, video clips showing explicit sexual intercourse, mutilation, perversion, and Sodomy to name a few things... just get it already, dude! You won't regret it. Wink
