Description
A futuristic adventure game that borrows graphical elements from Blade Runner (in fact, the title character's name is "Blade Hunter"). You must find out what is killing--by horrible, spontaneous mutation--inhabitants of the city, before it's too late. An oriental cult, drugs, and street informants are among the places you find clues.
Alternate Titles
- "RoTD" -- Common abbreviation
- "Rise of the Dragon: A Blade Hunter Mystery" -- referenced on the manual cover

Trivia
Rise of the Dragon was released in two seperate packages for the PC: A 256-color VGA/MCGA version that took up about 7 megabytes, and an EGA/CGA version that, understandably, took up half that size. ROTD was also ported to other non-computer platforms, like the Sega CD.
The SegaCD has automatically-converted graphics from the 256-color originals, but (probably due to the Sega's limited color palette and palette restrictions) everything has a green cast. Check screenshots for comparison. The 16-color EGA version,on the other hand, has mostly redrawn graphics
based on the 256-color originals.
Rise of the Dragon appears to have been coded in Turbo C++.
Cute messages hidden in the main executable:
Boy, am I tired. Better get some sleep in about an hour.
You have chosen to run the game with only %s bytes of memory! You are on your own! (this is presumably when the user has decided to run the game without enough free DOS memory available)
One of the patrons in the Pleasure dome is named "FU BAR". :-)
David Wolf makes an appearance outside the Pleasure Dome--he strolls past in a tuxedo if you wait long enough. (David Wolf was the main hero of Dynamix's earlier game "David Wolf, Secret Agent".)
