Tex Murphy: Martian Memorandum

Not as good a story as Mean Streets, but still very well written. There is no flight sim, which gives it a positive, but the real-world pen-and-paper clue collecting of the first game has been replaced by conversation topics unlocking in menus as you discover them, which gives it a negative. So it comes out even for me and I'd say this game is exactly on par with Mean Streets. If old, slow games aren't your thing, but you want to check out Tex Murphy, jump ahead to any of the later titles, but if you're interested in what are solid detective games with glaring flaws, the first two Tex's are still pretty remarkable.

Tags: Adventure - P&C - Point&Click Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Mouse cursor constantly gets stuck. Does not use a standard classic p&c interface. Could not find my inventory. Use of FMV making for better portraits does not really qualify as a worthy tradeoff for the shortcomings. I would say that this is way too clunky to bother with. Even Sierra games with their moon logic and their death traps had a reactive engine in which you could readily explore. I constantly was being returned generic message boxes for incorrection action/hotspot interaction. The audio was better than most tex murphy games as well, with a proper retro sounding track but it did not have that trademark soundblaster type quality to it that I am used to and am fond of. Altogether there might be a niche of nostalgia gamers or people who want to study this for its historical value, but as an entertainment product for a new audience I can confidently say that it is not worth fishing for walkthroughs for, or troubleshooting issues with the dosbox emulation for. Removing permanently for declutter.

Yes.

good story line

Spectacular

In my opinion, not as good as Mean Streets, but still a pretty solid adventure game.

I didn't find this one as fun as Mean Streets. While some of the semi-annoying things were removed from this one, but I found myself missing them maybe because they added to the experience. This one has a couple technical problems though. You aren't told how to quit the game (ctrl+q), sounds pop, and the cursor is a bit wonky, but that pretty much it.

Une suite plus efficace du fait de la disparition des phases de vol. Le scenario, toujours aussi intéressant, est plus mystique qu'auparavant.

Good game and I do recommend for the adventure 's fans. Beware of possible Unwinnable situations. Save often.
