'''Bad Blood''' is a top-view, post-apocalyptic action role-playing game from 1990 made by [[Chris Roberts]] for [[Origin Systems]]. |
||
it follows [[Times of Lore]] and was developed immediately before [[Wing Commander I|Wing Commander]]. |

Chris Roberts’ followup to Times of Lore was Bad Blood, developed in 1989 immediately before Wing Commander. Bad Blood is sort of a proto-Fallout which features a very similar post-atomic horror setting and even relies on a similar sense of humor. The biggest difference between Bad Blood and other games of its ilk is that you play a set character… one of the wasteland-dwelling mutants! |

You can see from the screenshot that Bad Blood takes Chris’ interest in making a game experience as visceral as possible to the next level and easily preludes Wing Commander. Instead of having a health meter, for example, there is a bottle of water showing how much the player has left to drink before he will die. The gameplay is similar to Times of Lore, but with a clear action-oriented bent. |

Bad Blood sold reasonably well, but wasn’t entirely well received RPG gamers were notoriously disappointed that it wasn’t the traditional sword-and-sorcery role-playing title that Origin was then known for… and action gamers didn’t know to look for it in the first place. |
