First game I bought for my PC back in 1996. Still remember the day. 6 CDs full of cinematics shot by real actors (Karen Allen, Scott Cohen, John Rhys-Davies, Christopher Walken, Burgess Meredith just to name a few)... Nothing compared to other DOS games with low rez graphics at the time. Of course the puzzles were impossible to solve in my age so I was able to finish it only with a walkthrough but the story was captivating, it had multiple endings, it made me fall in love with the futuresque setting in general... I still have the CDs and with a couple of patches, the game still works! (I still boot it up in DosBox from time to time) But I would love to see the game return in GOG and see it get the recognition and preservation it deserves and claim it's place in PC game history :)
I love this game, it’s my first horror/thriller game, there is one of my favorite actors, Christopher Walken, I still have the physical game, with his 6 discs and the manual :-)

Is the acting cheesy? Of course it is, you knew that when you saw the letters "FMV" on the box. But regardless, it is one of the most unforgettable titles in Full-Motion Video history, save perhaps for the Tex Murphy franchise. It is an absolute TRAVESTY that this isn't available legally anymore, short of tracking down a retail copy 2nd hand.
Intersting Fact: A complaint many have about Ripper is that the important game-crucial info is often mumbled during cutscenes that you cannot re-watch. What may surprise those who share this issue is that this game has a full set of Subtitles, but unless you've played a few specific Foreign releases, you'd never know because they didn't give players the choice to enable it. The only way I've found to turn on this hidden, but highly recommended feature is to copy a settings file from a foreign version onto an English version. Absolutely no clue why this feature was left out, but it is definitely worth enabling.
Ein Meilenstein der PC-Spielegeschichte! Eine fesselnde Story mit spannenden Rätseln und variables Ende! Dazu eines der besten Soundtracks! Habe es tatsächlich noch als CD vorliegen. Für mich ist diese Spiel, insofern es bei GOG veröffentlich werden würde (vorzugsweise mit deutscher Sprachausgabe) ein Pflichtkauf !
Excellent thriller adventure game of the legendary full motion video era!
Starring Christopher Walken (Severance) one of the few big names involved in FMV games.
It is a crime that this game can only be found in abandonware. Please let’s save it!
