  One of the first PC games I played back in 1994 when my parents bought me my first computer (486 DX4-100 with a "Sound Blaster-compatable" soundcard and a 2x-speed CD-ROM drive, baby!) Under a Killing Moon made quite a racket at the time, being one of the first games that used FMV, and not just for cut-scenes but also in-game, and for being so unprecedently huge (it shipped on 4 CDs). This was cutting edge stuff back then, when some games were still shipped on several floppy disks... And than this mammoth came! Anyway, technologies aside the game turned out to be really interesting and clever. I spent lots of days and nights playing it (I was 14 and had zero experience in computer adventure games at the time) but in the end I made it, although I used hints several times. I've been hooked on point-n-click adventure games ever since. Frankly, I bought this game several days ago more out of nostalgia than anything else. I thought I would play an hour or so, remember the good ol' days, so to speak, and be on my way. Well, what do you know, I spent the night playing it and I'm now roughly half-way through, fully intended on finishing it. My next step would probably be Tex Murphy: The Pandora Directive, which I haven't played at the time of its release due to some compatibility issues. Better late than never.

  I never played these games when I was younger so there isn't any nostalgia with these games, however I do have a love of old FMV games. The short and sweet reviewer: Pros: Great story, funny most of the time, puzzles are not to difficult with a bit of thought but there is a hint system that works well in game, graphics are okay for the age of game, fun adventure game Cons: Horrible controls, like really bad....but with a bit of playing they become managable, and for me the story and game are worth the struggle to move around a bit at first.

  It works. The old game works perfectly for me on Windows 7. If your a fan of this game from the olden times, its worth the get. If you've never tried it before and your curious about it? This is a great P.I. Game with great humor and did i mention it has the voice of James Earl Jones in it? It does. So you know this is going to be a good one. :)

  Awesome detective comedy adventure. It's from the epic days they started to add filmed video scenes into computer games. The controls are a bit... something to get used to, but the story's just great.

  If you're into old school point and click games then buy the Tex Murphy collection. Lots of things to make you think about. Remember to take notes and save regularly. The "controls" take some getting used to but then it's all fun!

  This game is very good i can truly highly recommend it. You are a private detective down on his luck, looking for a break. But boy oh boy i dont think u would expect this much trouble & drama! I won't reveal any more of the story so i dont spoil the game, but i will say this game is just awesome, with very good classic graphics, great story and amazing 3d inter active interface system. The only small bad thing i can say about this game is it runs on Dosbox, it doesnt run on Windows 7 or Windows 8 natively.
