    Default Anyone remember the Blade Runner game made by Westwood?

    For some reason this game, while great, never got a lot of attention. I found out about it only about 6 years ago, which sort of confuses me since Command & Conquer was the first PC game I ever bought with my measly $5/week allowance, so surely I would have seen an ad for the Blade Runner game in the instruction manuals.

    I remember some part with a rat in a sewer, and the fact that I got stuck on it for about a year.

    Finally beat the game last year though. Real good.

    My best friend IRL actually owned this game. I watched him play it once but wasn't particularly interested sadly.

    If I see it somewhere I may pick it up, just because.

    From what I hear, it seems to be a very well-regarded underdog – well-constructed and with a clever relationship to the movie, but also very open-ended and nonlinear.

    I understand it is quite rare and in demand.

    It is one of my all time favourites. I actually have a copy but it is a pig to get to run on Windows 7.

    Painfully boring game though I guess true to the film in that regard. The music put me to sleep.

    you lost all credibility calling the movie boring. You know its regarded as one of the greatest movies ever, right?


    By the way, the game while isnt very common, isnt rare, nor is it expensive. Any PC adventure, cyberpunk or fan of the movie should check it out. I hope it hits GOG soon.

    Surely you jest sir?

    With its detailed graphics (for the time), enjoyable mini-games, excellent voice acting and plot, soaring music, random events and multiple endings it is one of the best point and clickers out there!

    I would absolutely love it to but who the hell knows who owns the rights to what.
