Rise of the Dragon

Rise of the Dragon is a 1990 adventure game set in a futuristic Los Angeles where organized crime, corruption, and strange technology create a dangerous urban landscape. Players take the role of private investigator Blade Hunter, navigating the city, talking to characters, collecting clues, and solving problems through a combination of investigation and action. The game stands out for its atmospheric presentation and mature storytelling, mixing noir influences with science fiction and dark humor. The city feels alive, with different locations and characters contributing to a surprisingly detailed world. Rise of the Dragon is less about traditional heroics and more about surviving a messy investigation where not everyone tells the truth. It is the kind of detective job where “just ask a few questions” can quickly become “perhaps I should have brought a much larger weapon.”
