Rise of the Dragon
(Dynamix, 1990)
 Once
upon a time, there was a sub-company of Sierra OnLine's, called
Dynamix. Essentially, it was the "Touchstone Pictures"
to Sierra's "Disney." It offered grittier, PG-rated
game titles, while Sierra kept true to its artistic, award-winning
fairy tale sagas (King's Quest,
Space Quest, and so on).
However, any sub-company needs one whale of a game to get its
presence known, from the very start...and Rise of the Dragon
definitely fit the bill. It's tough-as-nails premise of a mutant
drug took many Sierra fans by complete surprise, as well as the
 murder mystery that
unfolds. Its graphics were also a unique 
approach, using the
type of new-age cartoon style of drawing that would soon become
popular in modern, macabre comic books like Spawn.
The end result was a thoroughly gripping tale, far better than
most of the movie/TV offerings at the time. It's even on Techtite's
list of Top 50 Multimedia
Classics. However, regardless of the amusing atmosphere
of a futuristic metropolis, as well as the rogue character "Blade
Hunter," no sequels of this game were ever made. What a
shame.
