unlabelledView post →#LogLoads64 Mean Streets You need to read the manual to play this game and as such - I have no idea if it is any good. But, the year is 2033 and your name is Tex Murphy. Being a P.I. on the #C64 never felt so slow. I *will* look at this. At some point. Anyone actually played it? Is it any good? 😆
unlabelledView post →oh my god. they're remaking Tex Murphy: Under A Killing Moon??? how did i not hear there was a kickstarter for this??? this game CHANGED ME. and i think launched me on the path of my lifelong love affair with noir www.kickstarter.com/projects/tex...

unlabelledView post →Leaderboard Golf (1986) A great early golf simulator by Access Software, who'd go on to make Links (as well as the Tex Murphy games) years later. When this was released, it was the most authentic golf game around, with realistic physics and rotoscoped animations. 1/3
unlabelledView post →I really start to love the adventure game Tex Murphy Under a Killing Moon! This game makes me laugh over and over again! It has many funny characters, too! Ardo Newspop reminds me somehow on Weird Ed Edison from Maniac Mansion! 😄 Thanks so much again, @darkcrowind.bsky.social! 🫂
unlabelledView post →Beach Head (1983) This was the first big hit from Access Software, who'd later go on to make games like Leaderboard Golf, Links and the Tex Murphy-series. It's an action game where each level is a separate mini game. The goal is to lead a seaborne assault on the enemy's fortress. 1/3
unlabelledView post →My friend @darkcrowind.bsky.social and I started playing Tex Murphy: Pandora Detective! 😊 @spacequesthistorian.com thanks again for your video about @moralrecordings.bsky.social's patch! The controls now feel like a regular FPS game and it's pleasant to play Pandora Detective. 😊
unlabelledView post →If you've never played the Tex Murphy games, SHUT YOUR MOUTH and buy the bundle right now. They are campy future detective noir mysteries, and I love them all so much! They're fantastic, worth the price store.steampowered.com/sub/45894 Tesla Effect on sale too store.steampowered.com/app/261510/T...
unlabelledView post →And what I never played personally, I watched let's play's and walkthrough's on early YouTube. With this in mind, while I never even heard of Tex Murphy or Phantasmagoria until well into my late teens / early twenties, I *did* sink my teeth into a... very strange little FMV PC game.
unlabelledView post →I grew up on these streets. And by "these streets", I mean "Under a Killing Moon was actually my first Tex Murphy game", but I couldn't resist using this because I thought of it immediately. It was that or Atari 2600's Street Racer.

Tex Murphy has to solve some low-rent Blade Runner mysteries as rendered in cutting edge 1994 technology. Listen here or where ever: zencastr.com/z/1vuG9S4B

I'm really loving this game so far, and I'm especially impressed with what a technological marvel it was for 1994.

unlabelledView post →Had another great time playing Tex Murphy: The Pandora Directive with my friend @darkcrowind.bsky.social! We came across a newspaper article in the game that… hasn't aged very well. On one hand it's kind of funny, but on the other hand I feel bad for Bruce Willis and for the late Paul Reubens.
unlabelledView post →I’m glad the Kickstarter for Tex Murphy Under A Killing Moom Remake has passed $300,000 so then we can get the moon child expansion and play more on there. Now onto $500,000 so then we can get PlayStation 5 and Xbox console ports. Onwards. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tex...
unlabelledView post →If you've ever wondered whether you'd enjoy a Tex Murphy adventure game, I feel like this clip is a solid litmus test. "I'm going to be playing some songs that I know YOU'LL LOVE."
unlabelledView post →Game 11: Tex Murphy: The Pandora Directive Another one I'd been meaning to play for a while - I loved Under a Killing Moon, and this one is just bigger and better. More ambitious, and with a tremendous story. An all-time great in the FMV niche, easily.

unlabelledView post →I'm usually a pretty lenient guy who doesn't get upset easily. But I can't get over these elevator controls in Tex Murphy: the Pandora Directive (our DOS Game Club game of the month). I mean... the button for 1st floor is at the top? And 2nd floor at the bottom?? Wtf??? #dosGaming
unlabelledView post →I just backed Tex Murphy: Killing Moon Rising on Kickstarter! You'll get to see me in-game as a Moon Child Technician! 😅 Even as a bad grunt, I love the idea of being in a game - and it's a remake of a game I feel everyone should have played! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tex...
unlabelledView post →Game 12: Tex Murphy: Mean Streets I decided to get through this one in my own time (for a particular reason) and thought it was... alright. Once you understand how the game wants to be played, it's pretty interesting. However, it does drag a bit once you've done the same thing several times.

unlabelledView post →The bedroom I'm staying in has a fancy conversation pit that slides open to become a huge lava filled trash incinerator. For some reason I understand this installation to be a reference to a Tex Murphy game.

unlabelledView post →I had no idea the Tex Murphy games originated in my home state of Utah, so that was pretty cool to discover in this episode. The series is a big adventure game blind spot for me, but I don't know that I'm necessarily in a rush to rectify that after this discussion, which I really enjoyed.

unlabelledView post →Oh man I don't remember which Tex Murphy game it was but I just got a flashback of you on stream trying to get the game to work for like an hour and chat just started blasting movie memes in chat
unlabelledView post →Under a Killing Moon was my first Tex Murphy game. It was groundbreaking to me. Its soundtrack is forever embedded in my brain. I've bought and played every Tex Murphy game since, even the rereleases. I couldn't back this fast enough. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tex...
unlabelledView post →There's been a lot of older games being remade or remastered recently but the last thing I expected to see was the announcement that Tex Murphy: Under A Killing Moon is getting the remaster treatment. That game was one of the original PC CDROM FMV games which I fondly remember
unlabelledView post →This is so cool! This person patched Under A Killing Moon and The Pandora Directive to use WASD and mouselook instead of the (admittedly sometimes cumbersome) mousewalk movement of the originals. It works INCREDIBLY well! https://github.com/moralrecordings/tex3-mouselook/ #adventuregames #TexMurphy

unlabelledView post →I found this when randomly searching for Under A Killing Moon videos this evening. This dude is remaking UAKM. It's early in development still, but I got two things: 1. Good luck. UAKM is a huge game. 2. Let's hope this doesn't tailspin like the Chaotic Fusion remake of Overseer did. https://youtu.be/WKA6SxYMr1Q #TexMurphy #under_a_killing_moon #adventuregames
unlabelledView post →Fun fact I learned from talking to Aaron Conners at the Fan Fair: Chris Jones, who plays Tex Murphy, doesn't drink or smoke. Like, AT ALL. He had to be coerced into lighting a cigarette in Under A Killing Moon, and you never see him take a full drag off one. Also, if you look closely in the opening cinematic in Under A Killing Moon, when he pours himself a glass of bourbon, the cap is still on the bottle. #adventuregames #TexMurphy #UnderAKillingMoon #AccessSoftware
unlabelledView post →But I remember being scared by Last Half of Darkness in a DOS adventure game collection one Saturday morning, or trying to play Morpheus or Nemesis or The Dark Eye in my teens, or the tension of being Someplace You Shouldn't Be in Tex Murphy games and the amount that did with just atmosphere.
