Martian Memoradum
Hi guys
I never really got a chance to play this old Tex game and frankly with it being kind of scarce and very old now I seriously doubt I ever will.
Has anyone ever played the game? If would you be willing to tell the story of the game for those of us who would like to know but probably never will I think a lot of us would like that. (at least I would anyway)

Me and Val were in the stage of making a remake of the game a few years ago, but it kind of got put off for now. We never really got much done. We got a bit of the script done, and I had our artist make a 3D model of Tex for the game. We also were exploring different engines and such, but it never really did make it off the ground. Perhaps if Valynis is about and has any free time coming up, we could look into the possibility of reviving the project... maybe not as a full 3d game, but perhaps we can looks at other possibilities. Val you around?

Hi Mc !
You are wrong: you have a chance to play old games with Tex Murphy.

Oh, I absolutely recommend Martian Memorandum. It just has one very bad chance of ending up in a deadend situation. Bad designers! Without giving too much away: when you are at the murder site, kick the bucket.
I also recommend giving Mean Streets a try. Pretty good plot there too, and it's interesting to see all the differences to Overseer. You ask me, the arcade game in Overseer got the action sequence wrong.
It shouldn't be too difficult to get these games running. There's plenty of abandonware sites around plus DOSBox.

Ah yes, the problem I ran into... I never finished Martian Memorandum because of that! I was just walking around all the locations on Mars trying to figure out what to do then I read a walkthrough, and read I was meant to do something at the murder scene, then Mac Malden will contact you on Mars or something. This never happened, and I was so annoyed. Ah well... That's what you get for not looking at everything!Crowley wrote:Oh, I absolutely recommend Martian Memorandum.

That's like in Pandora on Gamers Mode you can get stuck in Jackson Cross's office cause u trip the silent alarm when u enter the office and the guard is always waiting for you when u exit.

As I've said many times before in this thread.... I have already finished Pandora Directive over 1000 times since 1996... which means I have gotten to the end... Nor do I need help with Martian Memorandum anymore as I said afew years ago when I "was" playing it I got stuck... I'm not anymore, cause I don't even have it installed on my computer anymore... I don't need your help cause I have beaten Pandora, and I know what I did wrong on Martian Memorandum all those years ago... I'm not scared of giving out my email address, I just don't need to.Alex Bark wrote:As you wish, Chris. Perhaps I misunderstood you.

Hey,
Maybe somebody had this problem also.
I'm playing Matrian Memorandum under DosBox. After getting the Comlink (at the beginning of the game) I'm seeing .. and nothing happens.
I tried to press every key on the keyboard but it doesn't help.
The game doesn't hang, because i'm able to exit it (CTRL-Q i think).
Any idea how to solve this problem?

I found that you don't have to use DOSbox to run Martian Memorandum on XP. Just open the Martian folder, and double click on the mm.exe file. The only thing is, you can't get the MIDI music, but otherwise the sound is OK! If you wanted you could save your game after opening the Comlink, and then switch back to DOSbox and open the saved game to continue - That's if you really wanted the MIDI. Otherwise the game runs just fine without using DOSbox.
