However, my favorite name was Lola Lovetoy. There’s also a Peter Dull, and he’s actually pretty boring. Even the names are clever, such as Dolores Lightbody, who, as Tex observes, isn’t exactly described by her names. In conjunction, Tex interrogates various folks, and these sequences are always chortle-worthy. Hey, in my defense I didn’t know he’d actually taste that power socket. Unfortunately, my curiosity got the better of me a few times, and poor Tex perished in the line of duty. As expected some of these choices don’t make any sense, but unlike “Broken Sword,” you can still employ them.

Right away there are a multitude of options available, similar to the “Broken Sword” franchise. “ Mean Streets” relies on point and click clue finding. The mix of varied challenges and hilarious characters and dialogue makes this now dated game a wonderful gem. By collecting various passcards and passwords, which all relate to chess, Tex must dash about to stop OVERLORD from launching. Tex finds out that it’s actually an experiment to control people using satellites. Linsky’s death, Tex unearths a conspiracy involving MTC, “Management Through Control,” and the ominous OVERLORD project. Both series’ incorporate humor into the noir template, a winning combination. However, Tex’s wisecracking feels akin to JJ Gittes (Jack Nicholson), from “Chinatown.” As an avid fan of the “Max Payne” series, I suspect Tex Murphy may be a spiritual predecessor. The post-apocalyptic landscape seems plucked straight from “Blade Runner,” with Tex even resembling Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) with his classic noir outfit. My high school English teacher would approve.ĭuring the investigation, Tex Murphy zips across 21st Century San Francisco in his speeder.

Usually I casually discard the manual, tossing the game box into my disorganized stack of far more games than I’d like to admit, but not with “ Mean Streets.” The handy manual explains generally the various commands: how to steer your speeder, making calls to friends Vanessa and Lee, and connecting to stereos. This isn’t a complaint at all, but I’d never encountered a game so detailed. My first observation was that gameplay is fairly involved. You play as Tex and you’ve been hired by Sylvia Linsky to investigate the death of her father, Dr. “ Mean Streets” marks the first appearance of Tex Murphy, our favorite fedora-topped, trench coat-wearing PI.

I hadn’t played, or even heard of the Tex Murphy series before, most likely because I’m a product of the 90’s. Considering his utter badassery, it’s a very well deserved legacy. That’s an impressive run so far from everyone’s favorite wisecracking PI. A series of six games, “Mean Streets” debuted in 1989, and “ Tesla Effect” has just landed. Sure I’d researched the detective, and knew the buzz words: “action-adventure,” “FMV sequences,” “noir,” “private detective.” While apt descriptions, there’s much more depth to Tex. When I first loaded up the “Tex Murphy” series on my computer, thanks to the friendly folks at GOG.com, I didn’t quite know what to expect.
