[QUOTE=red_avatar;89444]This game is quite good - but man I love the Tex Murphy games. When Under A Killing Moon was made, I immediately bought it. Just the thought of a 4 CD game gave me shivers (although the crap Phantasmagoria had 7 CDs and isn't even worth mentioning).

When PCGamer UK reviewed Under A Killing Moon I was dissapointed with the score they had given it - 30% something which is rediculous. I discovered that the reason for this score was simply down to two things: they hated Interactive Movies (always complaining that they weren't really interactive, which is debatable) and they hated the acting).

Now, first about interactivity: the game is of course not freeform interacrive, but it's still interactive. You can walk where you want, talk to people who you want, pick up objects, use objects, travel, etc. That's interactive to me and because it was shot using real actors, to me it deserves the term "Interactive Movie".

About the acting: yes, they have a point that a lot of the acting is quite bad, but that's part of the charm of the game. I actually enjoyed it way more than if it had been perfectly acted. It gave it a B movie style feeling which fits perfectly with the setting and the funny costumes and settings.

All in all, Under A Killing Moon is one of my favorite games ever - and I never really forgave PCGamer for criticizing a game so badly when it has so many great things going about it.[/QUOTE]

Smiling Spectre	Um, it's Windows, so it must be quite transparent at the current systems. 1. Install Daemon Tools Lite to emulate CD. 2. Mount CD-image as virtual CD. 3. Enter this CD and install the game as usual.

rebel_yell	The Latest Tex Murphy Game My very first exposure to a computer game was Mean Streets. It blew me away; I started on a Friday night and didn't stop until the wee hours of Monday morning. I just couldn't stop. I just thought I'd mention that Chris Jones put out an AMAZING sequel just a few years back called The Tesla Effect. Production was crowd funded and he produced an amazing game that will not disappoint. His website is bigfinishgames.com. Check it out! Reb

gumpy	The first and best game in the Tex Murphy series. I don't really like the remake of this game, Tex Murphy: Overseer, that well... Plus it crashes in XP.

Frodo	You can buy Mean Streets & Martian Memorandum at GOG now for only $5.99.

The Fifth Horseman	Enable frameskip. If the game's native resolution is 640x480, disable graphic scalers and aspect correction, set fullscreen resolution to 640x480 and output to Overlay (faster than Surface) or DDraw (faster yet, but at expense of image quality).
