While it has inspired many games like Snatcher, Mean Streets, and the forthcoming Cyberpunk 2. Blade Runner video games, each of which approaches its source material in unique ways.

In their own way, each provides insights into what makes Blade Runner so special. One More Replicant, Dear. The first time I saw Blade Runner in the late 9. I was 1. 6 years old, I felt underwhelmed, especially after all the praise Id heard. I didnt get its appeal until I read the source material, Philip K. Dicks 1. 96. 8 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep The movie isnt just about Deckard, who begins to empathize with his prey, the Nexus 6 replicants biorobotic androids used as slave labor in the offworld colonies that have to be retired if they go against their programming. Its a broader examination of the parallels religion has to technology, in this case in a cruel world devastated by the apocalyptic World War Terminus. The 1. 98. 5 Blade Runner game was developed by British game company CRL Group PLC and came out for the Commodore 6. ZX Spectrum, and Amstrad CPC. All three were 8 bit computers that many used as gaming consoles. Watch The Black Stallion Returns Online. The game distills blade running into its purest form the player tracks down replicants called replidroids here by chasing them through crowds and killing them. Even in a simplistically digitized format, Deckards plight becomes apparent in that the replidroids are identical to the humans. As he hunts them down, the only indication that theyre artificial is that they run when he approaches. Unlike many of the standard shoot em ups of the time, these arent villains or criminals youre tracking down. Theyre just machines with advanced intelligence, created by humans, that want to live. The unarmed replidroids get faster with each level, but they dont ever fight back. Youre literally shooting them in the back. If blade running really existed, itd probably be as sad, mind numbing, and soul draining as killing replidroids in stage after stage. In an email exchange with Clem Chambers, who started CRL Group PLC in the early 8. He then decided to try my hand at starting a business. London was the obvious place, so that was the location. The idea was to rent out computers like they used to do with TVs. That turned out to be a non starter so I thought I might try and publish some computer games. Id seen some ZX 8. Smiths, there was half a dozen different titles, so I thought Id give it a go. The company took off. CRL developed several adventure games inspired by horror stories like Dracula and Frankenstein. They also developed a game based off the popular British science fiction television series Terrahawks, which became one of the first video games based on a TV show. Blade Runner, rather than being a straight tie in to the film, took inspiration from the films soundtrack by Vangelis. Vangelis synthesizer is as much a part of the fabric of Blade Runner as its noirish visuals. The audio compositions channel the dystopian symphony of a bleak future into electric blues. As Chambers explained, The movie was great, but at the time there was no one to deal with to get the film rights. The rights situation for Blade Runner has historically been complicated, with different groups owning the rights to different aspects of the film. There was, however, an emergent music publishing company called Rocksoft. So in desperation we did a deal for the music with them. The Blade Runner film music was classic and I loved it, even though its rights also seemed to be in publishing hell. CRLs Blade Runner faithfully recreates the End Theme which plays throughout most of the game. CRL hired an external developer to interpret the film score into a video game. We had a company called Clever Music do it, which was a couple of guys trying to leave their boring jobs and become a music producing company. The main guy, Robert Hartshorne, went on to become an award winning composer and music producer. He also became the composer behind the Thomas the Tank Engine series. Its no coincidence that the execution of the replidroids is euphemized as retirement, a work oriented term. Even though the game seems like a simplistic rendering of the film, it required a lot of work, as Chambers explained These games involved long difficult intensive development schedules where the developer and their team mates worked 2. They werent much fun, especially for the management who had staked the company on the product. Blade Runner captured the thrill and frustration of the replicant chases, focusing its gameplay around the shooting elements and taking inspiration from the musical score. It achieved what it aimed for, but those seeking a more complete Blade Runner experience would have to wait a decade as the rights issues relating to the film got sorted out. Memories of Blade Running. Taking a few steps forward from the cinematic action focus of the 1. Blade Runner PC game is as close to being inside both Blade Runner and the book as players would get. A point and click adventure game, it was developed by Westwood Studios and published by Virgin Interactive. Westwood was bought by EA in 1. I worked at EA from 2. I never worked directly with the EA Westwood division. The whole game begins when a series of animal murders leads rookie Blade Runner Ray Mc. Coy on a journey to track down a different group of replicants from the film. The game has many nods to Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep This includes the pet shop, the stigma of artificial pets, and the idea of kipple junk that tends to reproduce itself. There is also a reference to Philip K. Dicks novel Ubik through the name of the pet shop owner, Runciter. Louis Castle, the executive producer for Blade Runner PC, told me in an email Our game design and writing teams at Westwood always did deep research into the IP we were working on. The reference to Dicks other work, and even a few nods to other works referenced as influences to the original film, were lovingly included as an homage to the film, its creators and their inspirations. I strongly believe that great IP extensions build upon the body of work and value of the IP instead of borrowing from it. That spirit of building on the original was what helped Westwood get the project in the first place. The production company that holds the rights for the film, the Blade Runner Partnership, had spent several years securing the rights. Even then, there were lingering concerns that aspects of the films rights could be claimed by different parties. So when they began searching for potential developers, they were drawn to original content rather than a recreation of the film as with most tie in games. Castle explained, The original pitch of Blade Runner was to create a game concurrent with the film that would allow for any events off camera to be resolved in a variety of ways. Weaving the game story into the existing film narrative allowed the player to immerse themselves in the film world without requiring them to replay events they have already seen. More importantly, they get to provide the context for the back story, so in a very real sense, the players story becomes deeply personal. Ray Mc. Coy is a contemporary of Rick Deckard, inhabiting the same space and even using similar equipment. The game lets you control Mc. Coy as he utilizes the tools of blade running. There is a palpable thrill in using the ESPER machine to recreate photos in 3. D, or busting out the Voight Kampff machine to ask provocative questions to track emotion in targets.
