about
The game "Blade Runner" was released in 1997 by
Westwood,
and was a leap forward for adventure games genre, just as
the film was a leap forward for science fiction.
Unlike many games based on a film, Blade Runner isn't
simply a rerun of the film, instead it adds a new dimension
to the original storyline. You are Ray McCoy, rookie Blade
Runner, you are called to investigate a horrific case of
animal murder, your investigation takes place at the same
time as Deckard's in the film, although Deckard isn't in the
game.
Throughout the game there are references to Deckard
and Holden.
Returning Cast:
Many of the stars from the film are also in the game:
Sean Young - Rachael
Brion James - Leon
James Hong - Chew
Joe Turkel - Eldon Tyrell
William Sanderson - J.F. Sebastian

references to deckard
Act 2: When talking to Rachael she mentions that she has
already spoken to another Blade Runner.
Act 2: Tyrell says: "As I explained to Mr.
Deckard earlier, I've given the Nexus 6 a past"
Act 2: Fish Lady talks about "the other one" -
she if referring to Deckard.

references to holden
Holden's Badge:
McCoy: I found Holden's badge.
Guzza: Damn, let me guess, you found it in that hotel in
china town?
Guzza: That's the old timer's case. The one we brought back
on contract. Bryant's got faith in this guy, but I gotta wonder
about any son of a bitch who can miss a badge in a room that
small!. Listen, Deckard, he feels too much, ya' know? He;s
too far along that curve.
McCoy: Did he retire the rep who shot Holden?
Guzza: Bryant said he did yeah. I guess he's getting the job
done. Holden'll be glad to get this back, kid. Ya done good.
Bullet Bob's
Bob tells McCoy how great Davey Holden is, and how they
are great mates.
sights & sounds
Police HQ: The first floor is exactly the same as
in the film, you never see the lock-up or any floor in the
film though.
Howie lee's: The scene we where meet Deckard in the
film, with the familiar BZZZ, bzz
DNA Row: Again, exactly the same, even the people on
bikes.
Eye Works: My favorite recreated scene, it looks
better in the game than the movie.
Tyrell Corp.: The breathtaking scene is just as outstanding
as it is in the film.
Yukon Hotel: Leon's room is again the same, see if
you can find the scale in the bath tub.
J.F. Sebastian's: The Broadbury is just a creepy,
watch the water, and don't get too close to any of the toys
;-)
Billboard The lady taking some kind of pill. This
will bring back memories to die-hard BR fans.
OFF WORLD: The chance to begin again in a golden land of opportunity,
and adventure. Although a different guy says it.
familiar faces
Howie Lee: Howie has unknowingly employed a
Replicant, Zuban.
Gaff: Gaff was always spying on Deckard, on the rare occasion
he speaks to you, be sure to value what he says.
Hasan: Deckard has given him a hard time, so he isn't
too pleased when you come along.
Leon: Leon he pretty annoyed with the hotel manager
about Deckard rummaging through his personal files, are you
just going to stand there watching him bully the manager, or
intervene?
Rachael: Deckard is in love with Rachael, a Replicant.
McCoy doesn't of course know this yet.
Chew: Chew makes eyes. Not long after you visit, Leon
and Roy Batty will pay a visit.
Fish Lady: A life saver for the Blade Runner, both McCoy
and Deckard ask her for help, "Not fish, snake scale"
I hope this page has given you an insight into the game. It's
better than most games I've played. I have the EA Classic
version, only £14.99 (roughly $22.00), it has 4 CDs.
I've spent hours trying to see all the endings (there are
more then 12).
