* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Was stuck in limbo for a very long time due to the combination of being a licensed game, the source code being lost, and being very glitchy on modern [=PCs=]. However, in 2019, shortly after UsefulNotes/ScummVM added support for it, the game finally was made available to buy digitally on Website/GOGDotCom. The ([[PortingDisaster admittedly rather poor]]) Enhanced Edition release in 2022 also brought it over to consoles for the first time.

Added DiffLines:

* BannedInChina: The Enhanced Edition was [[https://www.gameshub.com/news/news/blade-runner-enhanced-edition-refused-classification-australia-22639/ refused classification in Australia and New Zealand]], meaning it could not be released on consoles.
* ChristmasRushed: After the initial negative reception towards the Enhanced Edition, Nightdive Studios admitted in a later interview that it had been a mistake to release the port in the state it was in, copping up to the fact that they had chosen the release date to coincide with the film's 40 year anniversary.
