Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon

An absolutely iconic adventure game. Singularly brilliant in every way and adventure game should be. Has it aged particularly well? No. The gameplay and mechanics are dated by today's standards, but it remains one of the best stories, best performances, and most enjoyable ways to spend a dozen hours you can find.

Controls are insane af. I can't even walk around without my boi Tex turning into Barry Allen on espresso and PCP.

Takes me back.

excellent game

I've played this game using tex3-mouselook, which enabled mouselook and modern controls. I highly recommend it. I thought I beat this game before, but it turns out I stopped on day 4 (not too far from the end, actually). This explains why the book I read didn't feel too familiar near the end. It's a great FMV adventure game, with real 3D environments, and the game really makes you work for some items. They can be on top of things, hidden under desks or just in plain sight but very small and easy to miss. It was never too bad though. There were some annoying sections in the game, mainly a part with a security robot that was just there to make the game more annoying. Conversations where you just guess what to pick and hope it doesn't kill you weren't my favorite either. However, these were minor grievances. Now I need to decide to move forward (Pandora Detective) or check out the early games (Mean Streets).

love these games just as good as when 1st played them

Undying classic! Even these days, the blend of vidoe and basic 3D gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. It's a style of it's own!:)

best ending 10/10

Will this work on windows 11?
