    Default Games Influenced by Blade Runner ?

    So I just finished reading Do Androids Dream of Eletric Sheep, then I watched Blade Runner (the directors cut, it's the most common of the myriad versions of the film). Now, I'm playing the Blade Runner PC game by Westwood which came out in '97.

    I'm wondering what games have been directly influenced by either the Film or the book? Snatcher and Burn Cycle come to mind (I love those two games). I'm curious if there are any others...

    Try Deus Ex - great game and one of the best Egoshooters ever

    And read othe books from Philip K. Dick - I finished "Martian Time Slip" yesterday and it was awesome.

    Although it was based on the RPG and novels, the Shadowrun game for the SNES borrowed a lot of feel from Bladerunner. I'm guessing the Genesis game did too, but I haven't played that one.

    Not quite a game, but one of the Iron Maiden albums had a futristic theme to it, and inside the band members were photographed inside the Blade Runner vehicles.
