Blue Force

CD version

The CD version of Blue Force is the same as the floppy one - the difference is that the score is also available as CD tracks, in electronic organ version, and the first audio tracks contains an interview with designer Jim Walls, talking on the similarities and differences between the game and real police work.

Grandma

At one point in the game you're supposed to use your grandma's computer to uncover some information. If you try to do this too early in the game you're fobbed off with a message telling you you can't use the machine now, because your grandmother is defragmenting the hard drive.

Violence

A curiosity: the player is expected to complete this game - a police adventure - without taking a single shot. You can fire shots - at a gunman and to wound Nico "the Snake" - but you receive the highest score only when you complete the whole game without shooting even once.

Video Injection

Some Tsunami Media games contained a "Get Injected!" form with instructions on how to get yourself "injected" in the Information Center at the City Hall scene of Blue Force. You had to capture yourself on a VHS tape (the form contained specific instructions on the lightning to be used and how to pose), send that tape to Tsunami Media and they would create the digital files and mail a 3.5" floppy disk back to you, that you could install to the game's directory. This service cost US$ 29.95.
