Maybe the best Blade Runner alike movie I’ve seen ever. Now, in Italian version (previous one I owe is in Korean… some difficult to understand for me! :D ).

Quizás la mejor película al estilo de Blade Runner que haya visto nunca. Ahora, en italiano (la versión anterior la ví en Coreano… un poco difícil para mí, ¡la verdad sea dicha! :D ).

Board game: 2-4 Players

Each player is dealt six cards. Each card has a number from one to ten. A player who is dealt a hand totaling thirty-five or more is a Replicant; otherwise one is Human. The object is find a Replicant and destroy one to win the game. A player may take a look at any card in the player’s hand by landing on any of the opponent’s “VK Monitor Terminals.” Winning combat is a matter of rolling a higher number on the dice than the opponent.

At last, I won this very HTF board game! My copy is unopened, thus, pictures are taken from Internet. I only did the outside one.

Juego de tablero Blade Runner de CPC

El único juego de tablero oficial de Blade Runner. Finalmente he conseguido un ejemplar, y además sin estrenar. Tiene, lógicamente, rastros del paso de los años (data de 1982), pero en su interior se encuentran todas las piezas. Tablero, fichas, instrucciones, etc. Es un juego simple en el que participan de 2 a 4 jugadores. Cada jugador tiene 6 cartas. Cada carta tiene un número del 1 al 10. Si el jugador consigue una mano con un total de 35 puntos o más es un Replicante; de otro modo es Humano. El objetivo es encontrar a un Replicante y destruirlo para ganar el juego. Un jugador puede ver cualquier carta de otro jugador si cae en una casilla con un Terminal VK. Ganar es una cuestión de conseguir los máximos números en los dados antes que el oponente.

Blade Runner 2 – The edge of human
K. W. Jeter

In 1982 Ridley Scott’s brilliant science fiction movie Blade RunnerTM was released, and a phenomenon was born. Set in the steel-and-microchip jungle of 21st-century Los Angeles, Scott’s masterpiece re-created our vision of the future, telling the story of Rick Deckard, a “blade runner” who tracks down and execute renegade androids. Now, for the millions of fans of the movie, K.W. Jeter’s stylish and sophisticated new novel will reenter that seedy, high-tech world for a new chapter of thrilling futuristic suspense.

«Rick Deckard was last seen trying to flee Los Angeles with the beautiful replicant Rachael, with whom he had fallen in love. Like all androids, she has a built-in lifespan of only four years –and Deckard is desperate to dave her. But before he can do anything to help, Deckard himself is recaptured by agents of the Tyrell Corporation –the creators of android technology.
Within a matter of hours, Deckard will learn devastating news. Pris, one of the androids he killed in the original Blade Runner, was not a replicant after all, but was actually human. Now Deckard is wanted for murder. Yet instead of being jailed, he is dropped in the middle of L.A. –friendless, alone, and with no protection but his wits and old skills as a blade runner.
Deckard is determined to survive and make his way back to Rachael. But first he must fight his way through the neon-lit urban labyrinth of the city to uncover the identity of the mysterious sixth replicant that was never destroyed during his original mission. It’s a secret that will lead to a conspiracy that extends to the highest levels of police and governmental authority.
To succeed, Deckard will be force to trust the new head of the Tyrell Corporation: Sarah Tyrell, a mysterious woman who is the living image of his beloved Rachael. Mean while, Deckard himself is being ruthlessly stalked not only by the police but by his old partner Dave Holden and a sinister hitman who believes he knows the identity of the homicidal sixth replicant: Rick Deckard

In The Edge of Human, K.W. Jeter has re-created the dark mood, brooding intensity, and relentless suspense of the original Blade Runner, adding a new dimension of complexity and excitement to one of the most vividly imagined science fiction stories ever told.

Blade Runner 2 – El límite de lo humano
K.W: Jeter

Philip K. Dick, autor de ¿Sueñan los androides con ovejas eléctricas?, relato en el que se inspiró la famosa película Blade Runner, de Ridley Scott, era un ferviente admirador del novelista K.W. Jeter, en quien veía un probable continuador de su producción literaria.
Blade Runner 2: El límite de lo humano confirma que Dick no se equivocó al depositar su confianza en Jeter, quien pone en manos del lector una novela que brilla con luz propia en el firmamento de la ficción futurista.
La película inmortalizó la tenebrosa imagen de un Los Angeles del siglo XXI convertido en una jungla de acero y microchips, donde los blade runners eran los encargados de rastrear y ejecutar a los replicantes, androides renegados.
El blade runner Rick Deckard fue visto por última vez cuando intentaba huir de Los Angeles con la bella replicante Rachael, de la que se había enamorado. Como todos los androides, Rachael ha sido creada para vivir tan sólo cuatro años, y Deckard está desesperado por salvarla. Pero antes de que pueda hacer algo por ella, el blade runner es capturado por los agentes de la Corporación Tyrell, los creadores de la tecnología de los androides.
Deckard recibe noticias espantosas. Pris, uno de los replicantes a los que mató, no era después de todo una androide, sino un ser humano. Ahora a Deckard le buscan por asesinato, y para sobrevivir y reencontrarse con Rachael debe confiar en la ayuda de la nueva presidenta de la Corporación Tyrell, Sarah Tyrell, una mujer misteriosa que es el vivo retrato de su amada Rachael.
Deckard se abre paso por el laberinto urbano, armado de su astucia y sus viejas habilidades de blade runner, para desenmascarar al sexto replicante que no fue destruido en la misión que costó la vida a Pris. La búsqueda le llevará a descubrir una conspiración que abarca los niveles más altos de la policiía y las autoridades gubernamentales.
Atrapado en un círculo donde los cazadores son cazados y donde se confunden las identidades, Deckard es víctima a su vez de una persecución feroz en la que participan su antiguo compañero Dave Holden y un asesino siniestro que cree conocer la identidad del sexto replicante homicida: el mismo Rick Deckard.
