Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon

Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon mixes detective fiction, science fiction, comedy, puzzles, and full-motion video into one gloriously eccentric adventure. Tex Murphy is a private investigator in a battered future where money is scarce, trouble is plentiful, and apparently even finding a quiet day at work is too much to ask. His latest case soon becomes a much larger conspiracy involving mysterious artifacts, dangerous characters, and plenty of opportunities for Tex to make questionable decisions. Exploration takes place from a first-person perspective, while conversations and puzzles gradually reveal the story. The FMV sequences give the game that unmistakable 1990s atmosphere of a production determined to be part adventure game and part television show. Some scenes are deliberately cheesy, but the humor and personality keep everything moving. Tex may not be the world's best detective, but he is certainly one of its most entertaining.

Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon review

Electronic Games (1995): "Welcome to the year 2042. Fill the shoes of Tex Murphy (played by Chris Jones), an out-of-work private investigator living in the war torn ruins of Old San Francisco. One may remember Tex from Mean Streets and Martian Memorandum, two earlier Access titles. Since the end of the last installment, several important changes have occurred. The third world war took its toll and Earth’s atmosphere is no longer stopping gamma radiation. The radiation seeping in has caused those not naturally immune to become mutants. This has provided humanity with a whole new type of prejudice.
Race, religion and sex are no longer the basis of bias. Instead, there is a large faction of Norms (people not affected by the radiation) who see mutants as less than human. The police are even accused of not properly investigating crimes perpetrated against mutants. Tex is different. He is not prejudiced and has many friends who are mutants-friends who come in very handy for information throughout the game."
