Hi! I'm new to ther series, and am 16 hours into Mean Streets. I love the game, including the infamous flight simulator. My Question had to do with the rest of the series. In Mean Streets, you have to take some fairly active notes. I have like 20 pages now. I was wondering if the other games in the series (Martian Memorandum, Under A Killing Moon, The Pandora Directive and Overseer) needed hand-written notes like Mean Streets or used am in-game database. I actually like hand-written notes, but also enjoy ease too so if anyone could tell me in advance that would be helpful.
PS If you could avoid using spoilers I would appreciate it.
Thanks!

there is no notes in the other games. The other games are nothing like the first two.
I have never bothered with the first two as I like FMV and good graphics.
They are not modern day graphics but there is no comparison with the next 3 games. You will love them & hey 10 years down the track & I still play them.

Sounds good. Thanks for the info! yeah I like all adventure games so every tex murphy game style appeals to me so this looks like I'll have fun with this.
Another question: I know that Mean Streets and Martian Memorandum use dosbox and run fine on almost anything but I play most games on my netbook (works great for old games) and was wondering how steep the system requirements are for the FMV games.

UAKM pandora work with dos box, the installer is included with the games, but overseer is windows based.

Ah I see. After looking at the requirements on the games' pages it looks fine but if not I can always play it on my new ultra powerful desktop. Thanks for all the help!

the games from gog are running under dos box , in UAKM & pandora e original cd's it was run under full dos & by the dos prompt on windows 95 machine. However we still had crashes. With dos bos box it runs on top of windows so we don't have the crashes.
either of your systems should be fine.

In Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon, at the first day, it's sensible to write down the pawn shop robber's characteristics you gradually find out about. You have to insert them in a piece of software on your pc in your office to find out the identity of the robber.
