Blade Runner

[wilkes1154]

I'm a new member of ScummVM due to just discovering that it is possible to play Monkey Island after all of these years, but does anyone know if scummvm will work on blade runner? I've been told that because it's format is 95/98 and NP, my computer (which runs on XP) won't play it, can anyone shed some light on this?

According to the Blade Runner FAQ, the game should work under Windows XP, but I have no way of verifying that myself.

I do know that ScummVM does not support Blade Runner, though. ScummVM, rather than being an emulator in the traditional sense, is a small (but growing) collection of specific game engines. That means it tends to work well for the games that were written for these particular engines (see the compatibility page), but not at all for other games.

I played it almost without problems a few months ago in XP, just noticed the problem at the shooting range in the abovementioned post
