All Tex Murphy Games 50% off at GOG!

Hi all, I have lurked here for years, just never posted!

Just letting you know that GOG.com has all the Tex games at 50% off until Monday January 18 at 11:59 p.m. EDT. That means they are $4.99 each or $2.99 for the early games like Means Streets and Martian Memorandum.

I hadn't got around to downloading the later games yet so this is brilliant for me (perhaps not so for those who have downloaded already!). I used to love playing Tex games when I was younger. My dad bought me UAKM when I was in my teens and I was hooked ever since!

Anyway hello from the UK and here's to hoping for any new Tex games!

Gem
Hey Gem_Star thanks for telling us about it - great offer!
David
Ah wouldn't you know it. I've already bought all 5 games from GOG at full price oh well. Thanks for the tip anyway Gem_Star.

For new Tex games you might want to pop into the www.bigfinishgames.com now and then. We are all eagerly awaiting Secret Project Fedora to come to fruition. In the last chat, AC and CJ said a new game is on the horizon but probably not anytime soon.

Yes I have kept on having a look here to see any news on the infamous Project Fedora, a new game would be so cool!

I still remember eagerly getting a demo of Pandora Directive on one of my old PC magazines.

I bought Overseer when it came out but had to return two copies as the disc kept sticking in the same place part way through the game - - but now I get to play it!

I thought most of you would have already downloaded the games, but thought for anyone like myself who hadn't got around to it - it would be worth mentioning.
Yeah I'm itching to get a new Tex game too. It's been too long since we've seen our old friend.

I remember my sister bought me a copy of the latest Tomb Raider game one Christmas and I asked her to return it so I could get a copy of Overseer instead. I think I definitely made the right choice. :)

For sure Samantha, Tex over Lara Croft anyday! :)

Have played Three Cards To Midnight but not Dead Time as yet, but they will have to wait until my Tex revival is over..... mwahhaaahhaaa! :lol:
I am glad I waiter... I just bought all of them just now... what a deal, and offer I can't refuse. Also splurged on RealMYST... I've been waiting to play that for YEARS. Thanks for the heads up!

-Cub. =o)

I missed the last chat unfortunately but read the transcript. Did I miss this though - are they not actually making any new games 'anytime soon'? Hopefully they're still doing something.
David
Thanks for the welcome Bafitis! :)

With regards to a new Tex game, I think AC and CJ would want to create a spectacular package for us - I hope good things come to those who wait!

Dude, I think she meant no New TEX Game on the horizon... lol
If I'm not mistaken there is to be a third 3 Cards, yes???


Gem, we have been waiting for over a decade, some have been waiting in this very community... Not me unfortunately, I was only adopted a couple of years ago, but this place has a way of making you feel welcomed...
And we'll wait another decade if necessary... Do stick around and wait with us, the more the merrier... :D

I certainly will! :)
Yes I meant no new Tex game coming anytime soon. They are working on it but are still getting stuff together. The good news is that they said we'd have FMV for the new Tex game.

There is to be a third 3 cards game.

Yes I do believe some of us are prepared to wait for as long as it takes to see Tex again. We've even joked that even if he shows up with a cane or a wheelchair we'll still be there waiting for him. Heck as long as Chris Jones is still alive and well there's always hope.

Didn't Aaron say something about possibly doing something like Episode Installments of Tex??? Or am I just confusing Aaron with a general conversation on the boards???

FMV????

When was this said??

As far as I knew they didn't have the budget for FMV and were going to do rendered graphics.

Or am I wrong.... tell me I am wrong.
