Games part of the Tex Murphy series
Tex Murphy is a cult-classic adventure game series that began in 1989 on PC with Mean Streets. Blending film noir with retro-futuristic sci-fi, it follows down-on-his-luck private eye Tex Murphy through mysteries involving conspiracies, mutants, and shady corporations.
The series became famous in the 1990s for pioneering FMV (full-motion video) with branching dialogue, immersive 3D exploration, and witty writing. Standouts like Under a Killing Moon and The Pandora Directive earned critical acclaim for their mix of humor, drama, and player choice. After a long hiatus, Tex returned with Tesla Effect (2014), cementing his place as one of adventure gaming’s most memorable detectives.
