Blade Runner released on GOG

A lot of people were really hoping this would happen. Very exciting to see it show up on GOG today!

Blade Runner

It's a great day for adventure game fans. You can read more about this here.

Wow !! Wow !! And Wow !!

Thank you SO much for that info, Marian. Definitely going to GOG right after this visit to Gameboomers

Thanks, Marian.

You're welcome!

And I knew you would be thrilled with this news, Mad.

Got it !!!!

Me too!

I played this game so long ago I dont remember much about it. I have to replay it, its one of my favorite all time movies.....

Thanks Marian. I received an email regarding this and knew I'd find a post here! I guess I'm going to have to get the game now .

2nd Edit. Well, I wishlisted it and watched the video. I'm quite sure I won't understand the story and don't know if I'll like the gameplay but I'll buy the game at some point anyway.

Thanks, Marian!

I purchased the game and started it up just to see if I could remember anything about it. I couldnt put it down. Love it......

Good news. This is one of my all time favorites.

I now have the original disk release plus two "tweaked" for modern machine releases and now also this re-mastered version from GOG !!
[A bit excessive if you ask me ]
Just love the game ....

There is no such thing as a bit excessive where games are concerned Mad
Is this the game where there was a bomb puzzle that "modern" machines didn't give you time to complete without a slo-mo facility?

Yes. There IS a difficult bomb scene in the game, flotsam, which I've always had to attempt several times whichever one of my versions I am playing .... including this latest one from GOG

But I confess I can be a total Wimp when it comes to action sequences in Adventure games

You can never have too many versions of a great game, you should see the number of versions I have of Final Fantasy Vii, Viii & IX. Were the graphics re-mastered in this version? If so, I may pick up another copy as well.

The graphics are definitely an improvement on the original release, InlandAZ

[In her post to start this thread Marian provided a link to the site - which describes exactly what has been done - and it's very informative.]

Thanks Mad. I will have to pick it up.

What are the game controls, is it point and click? CRS.

My rcollection is it's point and click

It's point and click.

I'm not seeing the remastered aspect of this updated release. I have the older version I play from time to time and it looks the same...

Thanks.

Well, for me, there is a definite improvement when compared to the graphics of the original release

[And I am also re-finding-out just how easy it is to die !! ]

Getting near the end now but still enjoying every minute

OK, OK, Mad. I went and bought it! Also 2 other games. And then I went and bought 3 games at Steam. I was so close to ignoring both sales.

Great, oldbroad

Blade Runner has a few "actiony" moments but the game is well worth the patience needed to get through them

Finished the game today and totally enjoyed it

Just finished playing Blade Runner all the way through for the first time. I purchased the original box edition way back in 1997- indeed I still have it - but never managed to get very far into it.

Thanks to the handy GB walkthrough I accomplished it this time, though almost gave up at the rat and plank scene, until I discovered that the "glitch" still works.

Great game! And so reminiscent of the movie, which is one of my all time favourite films.

Great game, isn't it ?? Despite the Bomb and the Rat !!

It kind of haunts you afterwards.

I must play it again and see what other outcomes are available.

It took me a while to beat the bomb, but I couldn't kill the rat up close. Fortunately there's a workaround where Saved my bacon!

Yes. I know how to beat both the bomb and the rat

(I think you should put that solution in a "spoiler" maybe )

And there are different endings available - depending on your choices as you go through the game

Winx, I added a spoiler tag to your comment. Please limit spoilers to the Hints forum if someone asks. Thanks so much!

Apologies BrownEyedTigre, wasn't sure how to add a spoiler tag. Thanks for supplying one, but I thought people who were put off by the action scenes might find it encouraging that here's a way around that tricky situation.

Winx, when posting a reply, select the Full Editor tab on the bottom of the reply box and select the loud speaker button, second from right. Anything typed between the spoiler tag will be hidden.
We still prefer it not be posted in Discussions if it's a hint because of the chance of spoiling someones game. Have a great day and I appreciate you trying to help those that may get stuck!

It was such a classic in its day, as good as the movie period.

Once a Classic always a Classic ????
