Fun fact I learned from talking to Aaron Conners at the Fan Fair: Chris Jones, who plays Tex Murphy, doesn't drink or smoke. Like, AT ALL. He had to be coerced into lighting a cigarette in Under A Killing Moon, and you never see him take a full drag off one.

Also, if you look closely in the opening cinematic in Under A Killing Moon, when he pours himself a glass of bourbon, the cap is still on the bottle.

@retrovulcano Oooh nice. Good memories. I wanna say that was my stick for flying C-104 Tomahawks out of ISIS!
In addition to the LipStik in Port #2 ofc.

I've posted about #MartianMemorandum before. I needed some days to put my disappointment about this game into more structured words:

goodolddays.net/game/id%2C1525

After this, I'm now a bit afraid to re-visit the subsequent parts of the series.

One of the many conversations in Martian Memorandum. This one featuring a guy with a second head, which happens to be a skull with eyes.

Revisiting #MartianMemorandum, the second #TexMurphy game. The opening of the OBVIOUSLY EVIL millionaire giving Tex his assignment is very well made, atmospheric.

In a skyscraper office, in front of a dark city silhoutte, a shadowy figure gives Tex Murphy his assignment.

LESETIPP am 5. Dezember 🥰

Politisch unkorrekter ging’s nicht: Nach dem fiktiven Beach Head-Diktator knöpfte sich Access Software die „rote Gefahr“ vor. Auf dem Höhepunkt des Kalten Kriegs sorgte ein amerikanisches Action-Spiel für den perfekten Entrüstungssturm in Europa.
