Blade Runner

Released on November 03, 1997.

Uncompressed Blade Runner with all the polygons, perfectly clear animations and everything at its highest level was over 400 gigabytes which took Westwood's mastership to compress all this on only four compact discs, so basically, other then main characters are in much less polygons and detailed, and even on McCoy pixelation can be noticed on some locations.

There are actually 12 different endings to this game. Some of the endings are somewhat random, at certain locations during the game, an event will take place. The outcome of the events, as well as which events happen, will help determine which ending you receive. This game was a testing nightmare, random events and 12 endings meant a tiresome test cycle. The Westwood Studios Quality Assurance Department played through the game over 2500 times.

Start blade.exe with the parameter SHORTY. (in commandline: blade.exe SHORTY). All characters are shorter and speak with a pitched voice.

Start blade.exe with the parameter SITCOM. (in commandline: blade.exe SITCOM) After some sentences spoken in dialogs you will hear applause or laughter.
