I just received word that the Tex Murphy series of games are on sale at GOG.com (sale ends Monday).
Mean Streets was one of the first PC games I ever played. My friend had a copy for his 286. This was before sound cards were common, yet the game was still able to output speech using the PC speaker. Pretty amazing at the time.
I then received a copy of Under a Killing Moon for my 16th birthday. To this day it is still one of the best games I ever played (amazingly Pandora Directive was even better).
If you have never played or even heard of these games you are missing out. That is if you enjoy a game with an excellent story, fantastic music, memorable characters and enjoyable gameplay.
Obviously, they are pretty dated now and if you don’t like point & click adventure games, you may not care for these either, but for under $15 you can get the whole series (DRM free) which is a pretty sweet deal.
