Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon

For me, I guess...Why? Beats me...there is something about Tex Murphy that I can't describe. The Noir feeling? The first person view movent, which gives you impression, that you're actually realy there? The superb humor? Intriging story? Being a P.I.? Breaththaking music score? Hard to tell...but ever since i got in hand this game in 1994 when I was 18 years old...i simply felt in love with it. The only thing that bother me back than, was a slow PC which couldn't face the burden of high tech graphic (if i correctly renemebr it was a pentium with 3D voodoo graphic accelerator...never mind)...so when you moved around in full screen mode - it was like watching diapositives:) the other thing that bothered me was the dixk swapping. Now in 2011, thanks to GOG team, the copy of UAKM finally landed on my beloved macbook air and worked flawlessly there on Win7..I was so happy...like a kid in a candy store. After years of trying to figure out the Dos Box system and cd swaping - there was a simplified solution for only 10 bucks. That's like - a free game:) So...do yourself a favour - buy this jewel - as for me - this game made my life happier. Whenever I feel down, there will always be a Tex Murphy which will bring me up. Thanks to the GOG team (and people on Access software if I renember correctly), that made one human life on this earth happy as a hippo:)

And now i dont have to switch CD's :) Wonderful adventure game

The first time I played UAKM, I was around ten years old. We had a 486 that my dad had spent beaucoup bucks getting a CD-ROM drive for(which took us a couple hours to install, back in the bad old days before plug and play) and UAKM was one of the first games we bought for it. Problem was, it didn't work! Not enough RAM, damn! So we went back to the computer shop to buy a slick new stick of 32MB of RAM for about 150 bucks. Yeah, no joke. Those numbers just seem insane now, but that was a deal for a lot of RAM back then. Anyway, I'm rambling. I can't not ramble, because this game just is burned in my brain with memories of a more innocent era. But let's get to the game: it's awesome. It's amazing especially when you factor in the time period it was released in, and it still holds up today. It oozes, bleeds, breathes and pisses atmosphere. YOU MUST BUY IT! And buy Tesla Effect too, support these guys.

Tex is back! No fiddling with work arounds to play Tex!

Say the words Full Motion Video to anyone who purchased PC games from the 90's and they will tell you to stay away, FAR AWAY! I cant think of any other sub-genre that was done so horribly. Actors who were down on their luck mailing in a performance that would make even a fanboy scream. Yet this series managed to be that gem inside a pile of dung. Characters who were memorable, a story line worthy of its own novel (yes one was done) and some firsts in gameplay. When it was all said and done this one was a classic.
