You can do a walk through of the entire game on You Tube. Also there are a few good websites that have pictures including Blad Zone.

I have always had a question concerning Blade-Runner and this seemed like the thread to ask it so...
Bryant tells Deckard about six Replicants, mentions that one got fried running through an electrical field which leaves five...right?
1.Roy
2.Leon
3.Zhora
4.Pris
5.?
I know that Rachel ends up on the list but who is the fifth Replicant that came back to Earth with the others?
I hope I'm not missing something obvious...

Ahh...one of the oldest BR enigmas ever. You need to get a hold of Future Noir by Paul M. Samman as soon as you can or we will have to revoke your BR license Wink

The rumour has it that Deckard was the 5th Replicant, but the truth is that there was another named Mary that was edited out of the film/script after the scene with Bryant was filmed. New dialogue was taped but only used in the workprint, and then somehow lost (or perhaps taken out by Ridley on purpose). According to most it is just a continuity error, like so many in the movie, that was a result of the film being rushed into production without Ridley at the helm.

Also known as the 'Blade Runner Bible', hopefully he will publish the rest of it (only half of what he wrote is in there) for the 25th anniversary. I guess that would be the BR New Testament or the Apocrypha. A must read INMO

Devour the whole thing. I started from page 1 and read every word (except maybe some of the bibliography and index stuff). I am hoping part 2 does come out this fall as well. I just heard a new soundtrack CD is also being released, by someone who is friends with Vangelis, so i would say it is a good source. Smile

Recieved my BR Bible last Friday and am about half way through it.
Very cool read! It seems to explain lots of stuff I always wondered about, especially why I like the movie (original with narration) so much...
OK Andy...you peaked my interest...tell me everything you know about this second half you mentioned?

The BR "bible" is neither complete nor always accurate.

The author had to radically change its contents and like the film, became a jumbled mess.

He even now is trying to recompile 300 missing pages from his book.
Like RS, his project did not come out as intended.

As someone who has worked with the blaster for many years, I spotted the glaring error about the thing immediately. The details of which in the book have yet to be corrected.

Maybe it needs to be re-released in an "Author's cut".
