Re: Star Trek Into Darkness

I think my foremost feeling towards the new Star Trek films is disappointment. Star Trek at its best is examining intelligent social, political, cultural and psychological themes, and in a way where it does not pound you over the head with the "message". The new Star Trek is just another a...

Re: *RUMOR/SPOILERS* - Actor confirms role in 'Project Fedor

I like this news. I think Valentine is one of those quirky and easily recognizable B-list actors I can see fitting right into Tex Murphy's world. And I mean the "B-list" part in the best way possible, like the Bruce Campbell way. Hell, I liked him in Santa with Muscles, starring Hulk Hogan...

Re: I Think I Finally Found It

Since we're all sharing here... For me, it was somewhere around 1990, when there was a review of Mean Streets in a computer magazine here in Finland. The same magazine also had an ad for it with the Amiga cover art. You know, the one that looks embarrassingly 80s. Now I want to ask Chris Jones if he...

Re: Nikola Tesla

At least that's a much better project than making furniture out of cement, which is something Edison attempted to sell.

Re: How AMAZING is this???

Holy crap, did the funding jump ten percent within a day or two? I don't know how that happened, but I'm glad it did.

Does that mean Tex is going to swing by Seattle and make a deal with a dragon? :wink:

Re: Tex's family: Who are they?

I remembered this from the Ask Aaron section at the old forums: 15) Chris and I discussed the possibility of a story in which returns home for a family reunion and gets drawn into a case. We wanted his parents to be played by June Lockhart and Leslie Nielsen (both of whom were available to us!). We'...

Re: Never played Tex Murphy.. Where to start?

No love for Mean Streets and Martian Memorandum? I do enjoy those as well. Admittedly they are less deep than the later titles, which I attribute in part to the series finding its legs (and Aaron Conners) and in part to technological limitations. However, I do love how the mutants in the first two g...

Re: Things To Do So I Don't Lose My Mind

To be honest, between my master's thesis, upcoming Star Wars LARP and making custom graphics for Ultima 7 via Exult, I've got plenty of things to keep me occupied. What are you studying, if you don't mind me asking? And how in the world are you going to do SW LARP? I mean, lightsabers, sure, but su...

Re: I am concerned about all this crap

I am a bit surprised that nobody seems to have made a fully three-dimensional "first-person adventure" within the last ten years or so. You'd think it would fit perfectly into something like those CSI licensed games, where you could be looking around for evidence yourself instead of draggi...

Re: Tex Murphy lighter

Neither do I. However, if there's something adventure games have taught me, it's that a lighter is always a handy thing to have. :wink:

Re: Adventure-Treff guest column #4: Aaron Conners

I would add to that Zork Nemesis, Zork: Grand Inquisitor, The Journeyman Project Series and Wing Commander III, IV and Prophecy plus Privateer 2: The Darkening.

Re: Your Personal Goal for Kickstarter Donations

I'm a sucker for having games in big lovely boxes, so 100$ it is! Fortunately, that is also within my means to give. While I really, really, really would love a physical copy of the novels, 750$ is way too much for me.
