shankao The versions of this game from 1990 that I have seen, lack the INSTALL.EXE file that would allow you to change the config (video, sound, keyboard...).
As a workaround, I have found that the 1994 re-release of the game includes such file and can be used with this older version to generate the config. Just copy the INSTALL.EXE file from the 1994 version into the folder of the 1990 one and run it.

It's like the real life situation when you buy a GPS device without installing a map software - you can see where you are by coordinates, but that's it. But keep in mind that I suppose in a post nuclear world, it's more logical to find an old GPS device (that just needs a working satellite) than an updated map software (that needs a human operated business).
FYI, this site now contains a brand new version of my walkthrough.

superjamie Ah, Bad Blood. The hours I spent exploring this gameworld as a kid. Only now reading the walkthroughs do I realise how close I actually was to finishing it!

I still remember the box and manuals, one black and white booklet with a story and map (absolutely invaluable to gameplay), and a color comic-style pamphlet advertising the game's monsters. Luckily, they're still both available at oldgames.sk, would it be okay to upload them here as well?

Whilst she may be weak, I always found the best character was the chick with the ranged weapon. Much like the Rogue in Diablo, a weak character is fine when your enemies never get the chance to be close to you.

Probably a short and basic adventure by today's standards, Bad Blood will always have a special place with me.

Innawerkz Odd rating for one of my childhood favourite games when a game like this gets 5 stars.

This was one of the first I looked up after finding this site... right after Ultima Underworld. Sure it doesn't have combat depth, but it was a good time storming the Slavers hideout with a 'nades & a Vibrablade, fighting in the games, hunting the Urse, wandering the 'mountains' forever trying to find the Oracle, haha. Good times.

Definitely recommend you play this with a piece of paper next to you and document EVERY landmark you can once you have the GPS. Especially bridges. Will be trying this game again with the Walkthrough. See how much I missed the first few times through.

lwc Why the double post? Anyway, personally I've finished this game multiple times - feel free to use my walkthrough (yes, it became official! Hooray!) if you want to do the same.

Be sure to also have the actual manual file with the map or like Todbog, you won't get far. My walkthrough contains GPS coordinates, that can be used once you find the satscan. But you still need the manual's map as sadly it's not embedded in the game. It's like the real life situation when you buy a GPS device without installing a map software - you can see where you are by coordinates, but that's it.

This game is not apart of the World of Ultima series. The other part of that series is actually The Savage Empire. An interesting experiment, but Bad Blood is something else entirely.

This game was intriguing as it goes because it did not have a map to navigate with. I couldn't get very far in the game but I remember my time with the game taught me a bit if its geography and you learn bits about the world through the trial and error. At the time, I thought it made a strange kind of sense as a post apocalyptic world would not exactly be well mapped, but now I can see it was probably laziness on the developer's part. :bleh:

The one part I did really enjoy was the ability to play a mutant. I really think there is some real possibilities with that angle, even if your power seems to grow a tree from your noggin.

Have you finished the game?

The Fifth Horseman Even being a member of the forum staff does not make it any easier for me to get in touch with them. I'd have to go through the same channels as you do. Besides, you never know when I might go AWOL either.

PS. Contacting one of the updaters (the people responsible for adding games up on the main page) can also work.

lwc Went AWOL too. Why don't you directly contact the admins you know?

The Fifth Horseman Reup is one such person.
