A faithful, voiced conversion of Dynamix's cyberpunk adventure that gave Sega CD owners a proper point-and-click mystery.
This is the Sega CD port of Dynamix's 1990 adventure, developed by Game Arts and published by Sega. It came out in Japan on 25 September 1992 and in North America in 1993. The Sega CD version adds voice acting, with Cam Clarke as the detective Blade Hunter, and a scene with a French kiss and implied sex was removed.
GamePro's July 1993 review praised the graphics, sound, play and story, and thought it would become a classic on the Sega CD as it had on the PC. MegaTech said the Mega-CD had been short on graphic adventures, called this one complex with a good story, and found the CD access time negligible. Electronic Gaming Monthly considered it an almost perfect translation of the PC game.
What the press said at the time
| MegaTech Issue 30 | June 1994 | 88% |
“The game play is fluid and easy to master, even in the arcade sequences. A smooth point-and-click interface makes it simple to identify and pick up objects.”
“Dynamix has now made up for that mistake by releasing Rise of the Dragon, which is not only a complex adventure but also has a good story-line.”
Before you buy
The price sits about in the middle for North American Sega CD games. An early US print came in a cardboard outer box, which is priced as its own variant, so check that a listing says which one it is. A Japanese disc needs a Japanese Mega-CD. For a complete copy, make sure the manual and case belong to this game.
