Tex Murphy/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Several examples.
    • The NSA renaming itself the National Surveillance Agency seems almost prophetic in light of the 2013 leaks.
    • There's a gag in The Pandora Directive about Archie Ellis refering Tex to a reference book about UFO conspiracy theories which states at least one American President being a secret alien. Tex later declares, "It had to have been Clinton. Now SHE was an alien!". Fast forward twenty years after the game was made to 2016...
  • Sequel Displacement: There were many who thought the franchise began with Under A Killing Moon, which was actually the third game in the series.
  • Too Good to Last: In an age of a thousand abominable "interactive movie" games, it was sad to see a series that actually made the concept work die so abruptly. It wouldn't be so bad if not for the kick-in-the-pants cliffhanger at the end of the last game.
