It's the little things: why I love Tex

Haha. I thought I was the only one that enjoyed that bit.

And yet, strangely, when things start getting darker near the end of the game, he starts running out of things to say. Must be too shocked?

Yeh,
take the middle path and you end up with Tex dating an "it"....
Not a he nor a she...
(I know I should have taken the Chelsee path, but I was just curious)....

Ok, let me introduce myself first,
I am a long time player and played ALL Tex Murphy games from the beginning when they came out. All right, I was raised with floppy disks and the old 8088 or so machines working in DOS.

i never ever played another game, its the only one I do, because.... i still read books. (lots of them). i know, I am that old fashioned.
no games for me, Tex is the only exception. I do hate those puzzles though.

Hi there! I've been catching up on all the old games on DOSBOX emulator. I didn't have a lot of games as a kid.

Ahem. The word you're looking for is Transgender.
<spoilers>
I happen to really like the Saffyre ending. It's so interesting that Gay Tex also turns out to be ultra-masculine. Not good for canon, but so kickass. <end>

Ahem. The word you're looking for is Transgender.

Depending on which side of the world you're living...

Nobody should EVER be referred to as "it". It's disrespectful and dehumanizing.

Pston! My dear friend! It sure is a pleasure to make your acquaintance! It's great to see a new Tex Murphy fan posting on here.

Hopefully we here at UOTM can make an it like you feel as comfortable as we possibly can. We, in no way, discriminate or belittle anyone for something as binary as what kind of clothes someone puts on in their spare time, and whether or not they use pommel horses for their prescribed purpose. So, that being said, you should fit right in here! We can already tell that you are full of intellectual genius, and wit beyond your years.

I sincerely welcome you!

Okay, you can unintroduce yourself and get in the line with the "its." Kay? Thaaaanks.

And I hope you know where you can shove those ellipsis at the end of your empty redneck judgement.

And also, if you haven't already been accustomed to the fact. There is a gigantic population of its just like you in the place that you live! You just have to find them, of course. But I'm sure that when you do, they'll love you with open arms like we do!

And when I say love, boy do I mean it. Yowza.

But seriously, go stand outside at night in an alley somewhere outside of a showing of Rocky Horror and talk like that. You'll get the its beating the crap out of you like the Riffs did to the Rogues at the end of The Warriors.

Wow! That was some kind of introduction! Thank you all for your warm welcome. I feel such a Rook.
I know it is not easy being a mutant, (remember those cops treating a mutant in a bottle?)
but even holograms have their rights, so who am I ? It's the charm of the game....

I had never heard the word transgender before I came to this forum, In australia I have heard people call them all different names but the word transgender does sound a nice term. The only "it" I know is cousin it....lol

Hey, now, really. How could you forget Stephen King's IT..?

Don't really talk much about personal issues, so I'll skip the sex-gender bashing.

However, I also am old school. The Mac I currently use is circa 2000. And I still LOVE it over the new pcs/macs. I've had to grudgingly take in a castoff laptop to play the games now, with a program called DOSbox (I think it's called that). But I still have the old games AND the old pc that I originally played them on. One of these days, I'll clean out the mice nests and try to fire it up. Probably will fire up literally..... But nothing ventured, nothing gained!

Oh, and the original UTKM game? My two kids (under 10yo) love to watch the bumbling hero and hear his inner dialogues. I can't wait to show them the reason why he's called Tex.

Gosh Fred, the Stephen King IT scared the bejeesus out of me when I read that the first time…!!!

As for transgender - who gives a monkeys. I know I live in London, all cosmopolitan etc. and you wouldn't raise an eyebrow about that or many other things here that we regard as perfectly normal - in fact, I doubt I'd even look up from my book in the underground when another bunch of transgenders travel from one station to another, but personally I just WISH we had no need to even discuss it - it's all good!

And I'll go partying with Saffy any time
