No, ScummVM does not support this game. I'm not aware of anyone working on it either, though I could be wrong about that.

A few months ago after watching the film (again) I had a try of the game with Ubuntu (probably the last 9.xx release) and the latest Wine (beta)
I only played a little but yes I had no problems with it either.

Oh, btw i had to set sound to "emulated" instead of "hardware" in winecfg, otherwise it eventually hanged, This is a recurring problem in various games with wine in my hardware.

OT: It is apparently some kind of disease. He posts in either all caps on or all lowercase. Weird.

Maybe from east asia, those languages have no concept of lower case and upper case so the concept might be hard to understand and confusing when studying english or whatever.

I very much doubt this is the case though.

WELL THATS MADNESS NO HELP AND JUST COMPLAIN ABOUT THE CAPS. DOES THAT REALLY MATTER TO YOU ?

DOES IT OFFEND YOU ?

If I asked like this would it help..?

Do any of you know how I could get it to work ?

We don't support it with ScummVM, so this question is better suited for the WINE forums

Yes, it does. On internet ALL CAPS are considered to be a shouting.

Back to the topic. Simple search "blade runner" on these forums would bring you to to this topic, and even before that, you could read the FAQ where in particular #2.2 states:
FAQ #2.2 wrote:So unless you work for a company interested in providing us with source code for one of your classic titles, or want to do the work yourself, please do not ask us to add support for a new game. We will simply reject any such requests out of hand.
I'll leave making the conclusions to yourself.

Try Wineskin: http://wineskin.doh123.com/Information.html

Also see: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... ngId=45577

You'll need a version of Wine compiled with 16 bit support.
