Unofficial Tex Murphy

96%

Holy crap, 90% is just like the 1990s - it's going too fricken quick!!!

Alright then, 1996:

- Pandora Directive hits the shelves

- Duke Nukem 3D released, the final classic in the series

- Crash Bandicoot released for Sony Playstation

- Command and Conquer Red Alert released (I still have the special edition box for this AND the expansion packs)

- Diablo released!

- Windows N.T version 4 released

- Lara Croft makes her debut, my first gaming crush

- Many of my favourite bands at their pinnacle: Oasis, Blur, The Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chili Peppers

- Independence Day released. To this day, the greatest cinema experience of all time

- Star Trek: First Contact released. Interesting story here. In Grade 5, we had our first ever school camp but Mum felt I was too young to go so I got to stay home. Dad took me to the cinemas to see this film while everyone was away.

- The Mission Impossible film released

- One of the most sleep inducing films of all time hits the big screen, The English Patient

- Crowded House play what was then their farewell concert on the steps of the Sydney Opera House. No footage of Cub rocking out in the audience is yet to have been found.

I have to admit, I did move up to $15 to get the game in the last 2 hours. So I myself am one of those cheap people who just wanted the game. I guess I understand them now.

Soon I'll find out what really happens when a project is backed and I'm asked to pay.

When they announced this magnificent 7 thing I honestly thought it wasn't that big a deal. Wow was I wrong. Brilliant move on Chris and Aaron's part. Bravo guys!!

I turned 11, got Pandora Directive and then sat down to be creeped out by Roswell and David Wright's cabin.
But it was and still is my favourite of the Tex Murphy games!

yes,yes,yes,yes, 96%

100% tomorrow i'd imagine. I got paid today so i've put my cash aside, ready to put it on the card once the funding date arrives. Cannot. Wait.

just don`t forget to put it on the card before the funding date

I'll do it the night before but if I wanted I should be able to do it on the day because Kickstarter even states the time that the funds will be drawn. It would just be my luck that I put the money on there now and the once in a blue moon incident occurs where my insurance company takes money off my card by accident.

also turned 11... played Pandora Directive on a 2X CD-ROM drive, which was too slow to play the video smoothly... so all the dialogue was: stut-stut-stut-stuttering.

Still loved-loved-loved it!

-Cub. =o)

or all ATMs in the city will go kaput and you won`t be able to put money just hours before the end

Man would I be pissed.

The guys at Big Finish sure were busy today... they gotta be happy about the response they got from the Magnificent 7 idea!

The crazy F5 team must've been hard at work today!

OMG! Went to bed at 84% yesterday. Have lousy blinds that are not capable of shutting out the sun at all. Woke up two hours early. Read my Twitter feed in bed. Realized something is up with the kickstarter campaign. We're at 96%! Love my lousy blinds!

97% you guys! Night.
