Elvis Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) Ok I bought Blade Runner. Years ago with my first computer. So I'm now going to try to play it on my gaming computer. Anyone everowned and played the game? It is old. I have not played it in years. Edited June 9, 2019 by Elvis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I think I have this someplace ...as is often the case with me, I never got around to playing it, and it's hard to get it going in a modern PC environment (and hasn't been redone). Give us a review as you get into it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvis Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 It will not run on current Windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonGrafx-16 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 It will not run on current Windows. Not if it's a 16bit Windows application and you're running a 64bit system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+wongojack Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I got it running on XP not too long ago. I think it is 16-bit, so you'll need a 32-bit OS to run it (if true). If you don't have an extra computer then you can use VirtualPC which I believe is included with Windows 10. I used .ISO files and a CD Drive emulator called WinCDEmu, but I just had a Win XP machine sitting around to test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cepp Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 (edited) As per Flojomojo's link you can install it on x64 Windows so long as you use the replacement installer. It probably works quite well in PCEmu now as well. It's still an amazing game Elvis and well worth playing today.

Elvis Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 How do you run it in Windows 10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Looks like it works with SCUMMVM now!!!!! https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2019/06/17/westwoods-wonderful-blade-runner-is-becoming-playable-again/ 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I haven't tested it in ScummVM but I was able to use the modified installer to get it installed and working just fine in my Windows 10 64bit. Although it was a year or so when I installed it and I haven't tried to play it recently so for all I know a windows update or 5 could have broken it but it was working.

Loafer Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Slightly off topic but if you like these types of games, try out Rise of the Dragon (Dynamix). Fantastic Blade Runner / cyberpunk style adventure game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Agreed, not really the same style of game (and much earlier) but still tons of fun. Six bucks on GOG. https://www.gog.com/game/rise_of_the_dragon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SegaSnatcher Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 One of my favorite games of all time. I used the 64 bit installer with great success. Truly one of the most underrated Point & Click adventure games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
