One could say that Mean Streets and Martian Memorandum are rough-aroud-the-edges kick-offs to an incredible FMV adventure series (arguably the best of its kind), especially the first one. Mean Streets is an adventure game mostly with early elements of FMV back when it wasn't fully a thing, mixed with mechanics that may throw off players not used to older game mechanics. Do you know Tex's ship-car from the games? You actually pilot it from the cockpit similarly to a Wing Commander panel. You have shooting sessions. It's not everyone's cup of tea but it's a great story that is later retold in the remake Overseer, so if you want, you can skip right to that. The Poisoned Pawn is yet another oncoming remake of the first game. Martian Memorandum is more of a standard point and click adventure game which would not be out of place in a Sierra catalogue. The story is cool as well and stands strong graphically until today as all quality 2D art does. Recommended!
