I bought this game when it first came out -yes, I paid money for it - a lot as I remember.
Takes me back - it was pretty good for it's time - all those moody graphics and it would run on a 286 with 1 meg. |

Man this game takes me back when i first saw it and played it at a software etc. The graphics at the time were awesome and the sounds especially in blades apt with his sink dripping water and the helicopter flybys made me think i have to get this game. I paid for it too but now with all these new systems it's kind of hard to convert it from 5 and a quarter floppy but lucky me i have a old 5 and a quarter drive and cable and i'm going to try to convert to a disk image to keep for a long time.

I love this game, but then, I love all sci-fi games. I recently got my hands on the supposedly extremely rare 16 color version of the game, so... yay me.
I would recommend looking for the Sega CD version, it's the only one that comes with voice acting, and it's also fairly easy to find, both for sale and download. |

I'm embarrassed to say that I played this game before I saw Blade Runner as a kid. I kept waiting for the replicants to morph into crazy, bipedal dragons...

Arcade Scenes: Freeeeeeeze!
A friend of mine is playing this game and has trouble to get through the arcade scenes. Right after starting such a scene, the game freezes. We tried all possible combinations in DOSBox CPU and graphic settings, but nothing helps. Does anybody have a hint? Thanks!

Rats & Wires timing problem
Hello, In the sewers under Johnny Qwong's place with the Rats & Wires I'm having a problem.
I've watched YouTube videos that show a popup message will appear when the rats first bite you and you need to administer the health kit to heal yourself. However, I don't get any first popup image notice of the first bite. I've tried 50+ times - no joke :) with different combinations and miltiple saves. When I get to the third wire shunt (no matter what order I use them) I always just die from the rats. And if I try to use the health kit after the second wire shunt is in place, it says I'm not injured and I die immediately when exiting my inventory. The same thing happens in my original DOS install (I have a DOS PC), and in Windows98 DosBox, and in this GOG version that I bought in hopes of getting past the Johnny Qwong sewer. Any help, ideas or a savegame just past the wires someone could offer up for me would be great. Thanks. |

Some old Sierra games are very sensitive to speed and will have problems when run in newer computers. My advice would be to use DOSBox and set cycles to the lowest playable value (3000 for starters) before entering that part of the game.
If that doesn't work, consult as many walkthroughs as you can find. Maybe there's something you need to do before that part of the game that you haven't. |

When I slow down the cycles in DOSBox the mouse moves so slow I have a hard time selecting things at the rights time. I'll give that a try again though. |

I played this game whn I was a kid. The original may still be in my old house. I wonder if it still works?
Anyhow, it is a great game.. I totally forgot about it until I came a cross this site. I was a big fan of the Sierra / Dynamix games. My first game was Space Quest I. I played on a tandy 1000 TX. It had 3 1/2 " drives! When are you going to have Thexder here? I love that game too!! |
