crime or detective rpg
 
I can't remember much accept i enjoyed the game. I'm pretty sure it was a first person rpg or adventure. The main character is I think a detective of the sam spade type. I thought it was a Sierra game, but I don't think so now. It must have come out in the early '90s and had good graphics.

Deja Vu 2

I don't think it was Deja Vu. It was a pc game, either pre or early windows 95.

was it all black and white and made out of photos from real life?

wile666 04-12-2008 06:34 PM

it was color. the graphics were really good, much like some of the sierra games like laura bow or the later larry's. it was very interactive as far as looking at examining stuff. i don't think the action took place in the 30's, but the character reminded me of sam spade. i also think there may have been either a casino or club scene.

Was the view from the character perspective or from the side?

My bet is on Rise of the Dragon. It's first person, made by Sierra and it features a club.

wile666 05-12-2008 12:27 PM

no that's not it. but that does look cool. it's first person. i keep thinking that the beginning of the game starts in an apartment and i think i remember the character looking at a computer screen.

Black Dahlia sounds a little like that, but it might be a bit too new to fit your description.

Rise of the Dragon begins with the character looking at a computer screen, BTW.

Were the graphics:
1. Cartoonish
2. Realistic
3. Digitized photos

EDIT: Try this list:
Adventure/Detective/1st person -> 324 titles
Adventure/Detective/1st person/Windows 3.x -> 34 titles
Adventure/Detective/1st person/DOS -> 79 titles

Adventure/Detective/1st person/Windows 95 (or higher)/1995
Adventure/Detective/1st person/Windows 95 (or higher)/1996
Adventure/Detective/1st person/Windows 95 (or higher)/1997
Adventure/Detective/1st person/Windows 95 (or higher)/1998
Adventure/Detective/1st person/Windows 95 (or higher)/1999

Under a Killing Moon
 
sounds to me like under a killing moon, it was an fps adventure game by access software with fmv scenes.

Is it the Blackwell Chronicles
 
In that game there was a Sam spade dude or gal who solved mysteries but I think it is protected and not abandonware. But if this is not it at least I put my own suggestion in to help you.:)

I could of swore those access games were traditional point and click 3rd person perspective games. Been a while so I suppose I could be wrong =)

I know that the hover car stuff was in 1st person though. That was in under a killing moon right, or is that one of their others?

JubeiDOK 11-03-2009 04:30 PM

Mean Streets is the one I was thinking about...where you drive the hover car.

I think it may be one of the later Tex Murphy games. Under a Killing Moon? Pandora Directive had a club scene.
