Tex Murphy: The Pandora Directive

+5 If you buy the game it's for the story. -1 The control scheme is a downside of the game. The world is 3D and perspective is 1st person. You switch the mouse control scheme with spacebar. There is point and click for scene investigation which is the good part. The bad part is the mouse movement through 3D space while the view/camera is arrow key controlled. This contradicts common sense and makes navigation to the next point of interest a troublesome experience. -2 Installed on Ubuntu 18.04.6LTS, starting the game results in segmentation fault caused by the dosbox that is packed together with the game. Platform dosbox 0.74 runs smoothly. It's a pity that GOG does neither manage to test their releases, nor to use platform libs instead.

is this game run win7?

I can't get it to load on my Xp Diminision 3000 What must I do to get it to load I bought this game. Whwn I try to download it saysSetup files are corrapted Please download A new copy of this.

Was really looking forward to playing this series but the game doesn't launch in Dosbox without messing about changing lines in the program. Just beware before buying.

I can't play it through Day Four because there is a bomb that must be diffused that requires you to be able to differentiate red and green. I suppose I could maybe get a friend to do it for me, but I'm not all that into the mystery anyway. It's about Roswell aliens. It's hard to care. And the humor rarely lands. I'm not sure why these games are so fondly remembered. They are definitely on the lower end of the adventure game scale based on what I've played so far (Under a Killing Moon and this). Most of the game is running back and forth talking to the same four or five people over and over and over again about every new topic hoping it unlocks the next thing. One time I had to show a letter in a foreign script to a guy working in a diner, so he could tell me what language it was written in, then I had to go to a guy working in a pawn shop, ask about the language to be given a book of this dead language for beginners. In a world where they could hire a few more actors, why would I talk to either of these schmucks? Wouldn't it have made more sense for me to go to a library? Also the movement controls are really annoying, and there's some pixel hunting. Are there puzzles? Nothing too complicated that I've seen so far. If you want to play a good FMV game, I recommend Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within.
