Unofficial Tex Murphy

How many of you guys have been with Tex from the very beginning, I'm talking Mean Streets here in '89?

Except, for Overseer (I couldn't afford a PC that ran the game at the time of its release) I bought every Tex game the first week they came out.

I think Mean Streets is a sorely underrated game, and I have a feeling that lots of Tex fans haven't really played it.

The main reason I'm asking is because I recently read an article in PC Gamer discussing Tex and was saddened by the "just skip 'em they're trash attitude" towards Mean Streets and Martian Memorandum by the writer.

I love these early Tex games (and all the early Access games like Amazon: Guardians of Eden and Coundown, the latter starring Mac Malden himself as Mason Powers, but I digress) and think that the hardcore Tex fans here owe it to themselves to play these 2 games.

...just remember that you can always use the autopilot in Mean Streets.

Or use Warped Streets from http://www.unofficialtexmurphy.com/down ... /index.php. As to your first question I was in the dark.

Not me, sir. I wasn't even there when Under a Killing Moon came out. A friend of mine actually showed me that one, but at the time PC gaming was mystery to me. Interestingly enough, it was PC Gamer that reintroduced me to Tex with a demo disc, prominently featuring Tex on the containers cover art. After playing through the demo I had to get the game. The rest is history.

I have Mean Streets and Martian Memorandum on Good Old Games, I just haven't gotten around to playing it. One day...
