This game was my all-time favourite for a very long time. Good story, puzzles, wicked graphics, it was kinda scary, and that rockin' intro song!! Love it, love it. Total respect to access software.

Access Software are really one of the most underrated companies - especially in Europe. They released very American adventure games that they didn't market enough in Europe.
The early Tex Murphy adventure games weren't even properly sold here. Under A Killing Moon was the first that was really advertised but then again, it stood out from all the other crappy FMV games: a proper 3D engine, a proper adventure game, a great story, great graphics, plenty of comedy, etc. I didn't even *know* there were two pre-UAKM Tex Murphy games. I didn't even know Overseer was a Mean Streets remake. And it's a very ambitious game: a 3D engine letting you fly your car, having to find clues yourself, use keywords to investigate, etc. Still, I'm glad I ignored PC Gamer UK magazine - their original review of Under A Killing Moon trashed it. They awarded it a ridiculous 32% and since then, I haven't trusted them quite as much. Yes, the game has some poor action but who gives a damn? It's a solid and fun game!

Access software was clearly a pioneer in the field. I just started playing under a killing moon again, as well as martian memorandum and countdown. Great memories with these games. I cant believe that a magazine would rate uakm so poorly.

One of the two non-Tex Murphy Acess adventures, the other one is Amazon: Guardians of Eden. I enjoyed this one a lot.

Just a quick thought on the game. Does it really qualify for the Medieval tag?

My Parents used to laugh at me and wonder what the hell I was doing on the computer when that guy shouts,"GET SCORPIO!!!" Lol. I still love this game, especially the train mission.

Those digitized screams from the Asylum used to creep me out... in a good way. Thought it set the mood wonderfully. However, as long as it took me to get out of there, it almost felt like a different game once you started traveling.

Hello.
The Walkthrough and the Hints links are broken. Can someone fix them, please? Cheers, Rui. |
