| rdfs:comment | - Rise of the Dragon was Dynamix' first foray into Point and Click Adventure Gaming after being bought out by Sierra in 1990. Unlike other games in the Sierra line, Rise of the Dragon featured a first-person perspective and two side-scrolling Platformer sections in addition to the then-standard style of gameplay for an Adventure Game. The plot and characters are a blend of Noir tropes, After the End, and supposedly Chinese mythology, leading Blade to an Ancient Conspiracy to revive an ancient Chinese sorcerer (the titular "Dragon").
- Rise of the Dragon is a graphic adventure game that was released in 1990 for the DOS computer and later remade for the Sega CD (1993) as well as the Amiga. It was one of the few adventure game titles developed by Dynamix, a company that was better known as an action and flight sim game developer. In some sense, this game was an experiment by Dynamix to expand its development repertoire (to other game genre) since the company was bought out by Sierra On-Line in 1990. The Sega CD version added voice actors, (including Cam Clarke in the main role as William 'Blade' Hunter) to the game and was given a MA-17 rating by the Videogame Rating Council, most likely for profanity, references to a fictional illicit drug, cross-dressing, prostitution and partial female nudity.
- A love story set during the early Spanish Colonial era in Taohuang, the Medieval Spanish Colonial City in China. The daughter of a general meets a desert bandit while the daughter of a bodyguard meets a Daoist-to-be. In-between the romance, the bigger plot brewing deals with a disgruntled prince looking to overthrow the current King and Queen of China with the help of an amazing sword from the famous Wu Dang clan/school that can cut metal like mud and a powerful set of martial arts techniques.

Unlike other games in the Sierra line, Rise of the Dragon featured a first-person perspective and two side-scrolling Platformer sections in addition to the then-standard style of gameplay for an Adventure Game. Rise of the Dragon is set in a Blade Runner-inspired Crapsack World. In the year 2053, in Los Angeles, California ex-cop William "Blade" Hunter is hired by the mayor to find out who is responsible for the horrific demise of his daughter, Chandra, whose use of transdermal patches led her to be the first victim of a mutagenic poison. The plot and characters are a blend of Noir tropes, After the End, and supposedly Chinese mythology, leading Blade to an Ancient Conspiracy to revive an ancient Chinese sorcerer (the titular "Dragon"). Rise of the Dragon was touted the following year, receiving a Special Award for Artistic Achievement from Computer Gaming World, and a 5 out of 5 star review from Dragon magazine. After the inital DOS release, a second, CD-based version was made, followed by a Sega CD port of that rerelease, which removed some of the more adult material, including the ammunition for Blade's sidearm (but not the weapon itself).
