Blade Runner - a 1982 American neo-noir dystopian science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott and starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, and Edward James Olmos. The screenplay, written by Hampton Fancher and David Peoples, is a modified film adaptation of the 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick. The film depicts LA in November 2019, in which genetically engineered replicants, which are visually indistinguishable from adult humans, are manufactured by the powerful Tyrell Corporation as well as by other "mega-corporations" around the world. The use of replicants on Earth is banned and they are exclusively utilized for dangerous or menial work on off-world colonies. Replicants who defy the ban and return to Earth are hunted down and killed ("retired") by special police operatives known as "Blade Runners". The plot focuses on a desperate group of recently escaped replicants hiding in Los Angeles and the burnt-out expert Blade Runner, Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), who reluctantly agrees to take on one more assignment to hunt them down. Blade Runner initially polarized critics: some were displeased with the pacing, while others enjoyed its thematic complexity. The film performed poorly in North American theaters but has since become a cult film.[3] It has been hailed for its production design, depicting a "retrofitted" future,[4] and remains a leading example of the neo-noir genre.[5] It brought the work of Philip K. Dick to the attention of Hollywood and several later films were based on his work.[6] Ridley Scott regards Blade Runner as "probably" his most complete and personal film.[7][8] In 1993, the film was selected for preservation in the US National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". Blade Runner is now regarded by many critics as one of the best science fiction films ever made.

Stunning Blade Runner Experience
Replicants in this game are bioengineered organic beings. While they were not referred to as either robots or androids in the movie, the screenplay was originally based on the novel by Philip K. Dick called Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? In this novel, the beings in question are specifically referred to as "androids" or, more familiarly, "andys" and exist primarily to replace a depleted human population in the aftermath of a nuclear war.This game is indeed Blade Runner - One thing that is very interesting about this game is the fact that it is simply called "Blade Runner." Not Blade Runner 2 - The Replicants are Back" or what ever.This game has excellent graphics - it looks like they spent months putting all the artwork together. My initial reaction when playing this game was "WoW - looks just like the movie. I'm happy to report that this game looks completely amazing -- the graphics and framerate as clean and clear as any I've ever seen.This game is not all visuals, though -- it's a new Blade Runner plot as well, and one that I find filled with both new characters to meet as well as old ones. The Replicants in this game are even more interesting than the ones in the movie. The feature that most obviously distinguishes them from humans is their lack of empathy -- otherwise, they are virtually indistinguishable from their organic counterparts (indeed, at one point a character observes that a psychotic human could be confused with a Replicant. So - while in "In Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" the androids were machines in the Blade Runner game the Replicants are bio-engineered.The game features several different endings - so instead of the film ending with Deckard spiriting Sean Young to safety in the woodsy wherever in the game the ending could be one of several depending on how you play it.There's no question the game is Blade Runner - like the movie the game is a cult favorite even today - more than 10 years after the game was released. The PC game Blade Runner is one of a kind in every way, with a marriage of music and imagery that has never and will never be repeated.If you a Blade Runner fan or love a good adventure game - this game is a must play.

One of the best games i have purchased and played but it took a little adjusting
One of the best games I have purchased and played. "But it won't work my new Windows 7 computer?" You say?Not a problem. I installed it on a Windows XP PC and after installation I copied the enter program folder to my flash drive and then to my Windows 7 laptopI sent my bladerunner.exe to my desk top and then I executed the program in Windows XP compatible mode and it works like a charm...if the video comes out garbled check a lower resolution and it will work

One of my favorite games!
This is one of my favorite games of all time. There aren't too many I feel down about when they end. The story is very engaging. Graphics are excellent for a game from this long ago.I'm hoping they come out with a new one now that Blade Runner 2 is coming out soon.
