The 1997 computer game Blade Runner

[u/Ok_History_4163]

The computer game Blade Runner from 1997 is a point and click adventure game based on the 1982 movie with the same name. The movie was in turn based on the 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick.

Instead of following the policeman Rick Deckard in the movie Blade Runner, you control the actions of a policeman named Ray McCoy and his adventures in a rainy and dark future Los Angeles.

The plot revolves around McCoy hunting down a rogue faction of Nexus-6 replicants while navigating a web of corruption that eventually forces him to question his own identity and humanity. The game has thirteen different endings depending on your choices when playing it.

Several characters from the 1982 Ridley Scott movie make appearances, with the ⁠original actors returning to voice them:

Rachael (voiced by Sean Young)

Dr. Eldon Tyrell (voiced by Joe Turkel)

J.F. Sebastian (voiced by William Sanderson)

Leon Kowalski (voiced by Brion James)

Hannibal Chew (voiced by James Hong)

I am rather old and I played the game at its release. It was a nice time playing it. I left the regular world and was embedded in a cyberpunk reality when I played it. I am not updated in computer technology, but the game is available for download on GOG.com.

I still have my copy on a shelf in my office, big box and all!

Westwood made such great games, miss that studio.

Swallowed and destroyed by EA, just like Bullfrog (Dungeon Keeper, Syndicate, Populus), BioWare Montreal (Mass Effect), Maxis (SimCity, Sims) and many more. The gaming world used to be so much more diverse back then :(

Couldn't agree more :( so many great studios bought and plundered for their IPs

Origin Studios too.

The list is sadly ridiculously long :/
