    An adventure game ahead of its time.

    The adventure genre was once incredibly popular. One of its major downfalls over the last decade, I believe, was a complete lack of innovation in the gameplay. There are certainly some gems which largely stick to the tri... Read Full Review

    Under a Killing Moon

    Man, was I in for a surprise when I picked up the Tex Murphy games awhile back! I never paid attention to the FMV games in the mid 90’s. I could not care less. But I am happy that I decided to play the Tex Murphy g... Read Full Review

    Great Nostalgic Mystery

    I remember playing this game on December 25th 1994. I had been looking for a way to run this game on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. I ran into a website called GOG (Good Old Games) and it works great. This is one of my favor... Read Full Review

    My score of this game is based on how it would have stacked up in 1994, not today. I don't think that your average gamer would have enjoyed UAKM, it's basicly an interactive movie, and only an average one at that. I enjo... Read Full Review

    I rarely give a game all 10s. The review for this game is way, way off base. This was the first Tex Murphy game I played. I actually rented the game first from a place that rented PC games (before CD-Rs and RWs became co... Read Full Review
