![]() While I have played this before, I have never completed it, not once. So, it's now time for The Pandora Directive. If only I played it like this back in the day! It's making a HUGE difference in the way I understand the characters and their relevance to the story. It may not entirely be my first time ever, but I am actually playing these games properly for the first time in the sense of not rushing and actually taking detailed handwritten notes about the things I learn about the characters during conversations. I could never appreciate the depth of the writing in the story when I was younger as I wasn't that savvy with literature nor did I have the two predecessors to UKAM. This is definitely not the same character from the first two games. The best evidence of this was at the beginning of Day 6 where for a moment he considers everything to be potentially lost and crosses over the possibility in his mind of maybe staying on the Moon Child only to have reality kick in the second later. Tex, the character himself changed from being a bitter, cynical narcissist to a seasoned, optimistic but also an equally guarded and analytical detective. I'm not just referring to production and concept either. But it really shows the impact that Aaron had on Tex Murphy. This game marked a real watershed in the Tex Murphy serious - for obvious reasons. After playing the first three in order, I must say that the evolution is extraordinary. It's also the time I have used the Hint system the least. I think this is now about my tenth play through. "Mon Dieu! WHAT the hell are you DOING here?" The French guy - hilarious!ĮDITED to say: ANY TEX MURPHY FAN SHOULD DOWNLOAD DOSBOX AND PLAY MS AND MM ALL THEY WAY THROUGH!!!!!!!!!! They are just as fun as any other TM game, just less technological. "What brings ya down here Murphy, looking.for a client?" Mac Malden in MM who is also in UAKM. And you know you're dealing with a creative storywriter when the way out of a deadly trap is borrow someone's bra. The only part of MM I really didn't like was the rocks through the quicksand. Tex asks, "What kind of fish is that?" "Red Herring". I loved the part in MS where you tracked down the student who was mad at Linsky for giving him a bad grade who happened to be eating fish. I wish today's movies that I so consistently waste so much money on had storywriters who cared as much about whether or not people would actually enjoy the story as those who wrote MS and MM. Try GameDrive Pro too - it's great for eliminating fumbling for all those CDs. Re: Overseer: I don't want to say too much because I know there's a whole Tex Support forum, but once I downloaded the latest Overseer patch I had no problem running Overseer on DVD.
