    It's free, okay? Also short (it takes about an hour
    to finish). More than that, I've nought to say about
    the game.


    You've got a day to claim it, then the offer goes away. Be a real
    shame if you missed it. ;-)

    Guess what, Wanker-the game isn't free and you couldn't
    have made a more useless post about a worthless game.

    Hey, I LIKED the BIOS! So many things to tinker with, so little
    explanation of what any of them did!

    I'd totally play a video game about the BIOS!

    "PC Building Simulator" occassionally required you to jump into its
    pseudo-BIOS screens.

    I seem to recall some other game which had you in a computer's BIOS
    for some reason, but damned if I remember what it was.

    "x86Box" is the best BIOS game. Multiple different BIOS, and different (virtual) hardware to try it on. Some many things to toggle, and no
    chance of the magic smoke escaping ;-)
