Blade Runner influence in videogames
Posted: Wed Apr 18, 2007 12:55 pm
Alot of video games over the years have been influenced by Blade Runner (of course there's the BR PC game first & foremost). I remember owning both versions of Shadowrun for Sega Genesis & SNES back in the day because they reminded me so much of Blade Runner. I once owned a Sega CD system in the early 90's and I immediately bought Snatcher & Rise of The Dragon, which are 2 games that are heavily inspired by BR. Also, later on a game that I found captured the Blade Runner feel for me & that was a game called Omikron. I own Omikron for the PC as well as the version for Sega Dreamcast.
The city in Omikron reminded me so much of Blade Runner...
Here's more info if you're not familiar with these games (I assume most BR fans are already familiar with Snatcher).
