Ripper is a 1996 adventure computer game developed by Take-Two Interactive, and released for Windows-based personal computers. The game has a cast that includes celebrities such as Christopher Walken, Scott Cohen, Tahnee Welch, Burgess Meredith, Karen Allen, David Patrick Kelly, John Rhys-Davies, Jimmie Walker, Anna Levine and Paul Giamatti. It also featured the hit Blue Öyster Cult song (Don't Fear) The Reaper.

It was notable in that there was no definite canonical answer on who the villain would be, since this was decided by the game at random, out of the main characters. Clues and puzzles changed accordingly, in order for the player to decide.

Trivia

A trailer was produced that used the existing full length cinema style of a movie trailer, this was released through various magazine covermounts.
