Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon

I originally played under a killing moon when I was very young, which was fortunate since it meant I'd forgotten almost all of the story and puzzles. What bowled me over about this game is just how well it has stood the test of time. Roughly 15 years old, and it has very respectable graphics thanks to it's clever use of movies. True some of the in game graphics are somewhat undesirable, but compared to the graphics of other games around the same time these niggles pale in comparison. There are numerous puzzles, with a decent but not massive variety (the majority of puzzles will involve talking to people about game topics, and searching the area for objects to use), although they work well together and don't get stale. My main criticism of the game would be it's length, since while it is decent it isn't all that long - I completed it in 1 weekend of on-and-off playing.

...and I'm not a big fan of games like Syberia and Myst that require you to immerse yourself in the pixels and sounds. But when I played UKM 20 years ago, I was hooked. The acting was brilliant, the script well-written, and I think I actually cried when I finished the game.

i had this game for at time from a somwone, but the cd's whend minssing in achtion like the game show's , you. never play's it out now is the chan's to do so.

UAKM was wonderful, except I was busy playing Links386 (also from Access) at the time. This game was funny, entertaining, and daring in what it tried to do. I would say the results were successful. Now, just asking. In the endgame, when Tex finds a locked safe on the Moon Child, opens it, and sees some golf software, he gets information about an agent. Access, someone in Links386 CSN said you were doing a takeoff on me. I was dominant in Links386 during 1994 to 1996. If it was me, I demand some royalties. ;) Dr. Lomax Links386 player

Under a killing moon is as close to perfection for an interactive as you can get, a wonderful addition to this awesome series! Looking forward to project fedora!!
