Good Old Games Calls in Tex Murphy, Private Dick

Vintage video game digital distributor GOG has hired hard-boiled future gumshoe Tex Murphy, adding the adventure game series by Access Software to its catalogue.

Set in a post-World War 3 San Francisco and overflowing with noir cliches infused with humour, the Tex Murphy series saw five entries--the first three of which are out now.

Under a Killing Moon rode the crest of the mid-90s FMV wave with style and ladies.

A pack containing 1989's Mean Streets and 1991's Martian Memorandum is available for $6, while you can pick up 1994's FMV-tastic Under a Killing Moon for $10.

Good Old Games will round out the dystopian adventure series with The Pandora Directive and Tex Murphy: Overseer set to arrive on the store in the coming weeks.

Goddamn, that's creepy - I was just looking at the box for Mean Streets yesterday and thinking I'd probably never get to play it again. I'm... I'm speechless.

Under a Killing Moon is one of the first games I remember playing on the PC. I picked up a used copy at a record store years back, but I'll probably buy it again because I love it so much :)

Wow I remember playing these. I guess I was about 10 or 11 at the time, and they were really hard to figure out at that age. I believe it was one of the first games that used speech in game (through the internal speaker too I think, or maybe it was just really bad audio).

I'm so happy about this. The Pandora Directive is one of the best games i've ever played. The story with the arrow killer is some of the most fun i've had with an adventure game.

I had no idea there were five of these things, I always thought there were like two.

I guess that says something about their naming conventions.

Oh shit. I remember seeing these games as an unaware kid who only cared about Nintendo and Sega back in the days when mom and pops sold video games.

I remember the boxes looking interesting. Like they could have been movies.
