I'm sorry but this 35+ year old game is literally unplayable in modern day..
There are retro games, then there are stone age retro games. Then there is this.
From what I hear, the community is engrossed with this cult classic.
From what I saw, this was supposed to be a detective/ adventure/ point & click game, but is mostly a driving simulator as most of your playtime (6-8 hours) will be driving around...
Thankfully the 5th installment of Tex Murphy "The Overseer" is basically a remake.
That is nice, at least we can experience the story in that upgraded version!
I got here only because of the much acclaimed "Under a Killing Moon" and "The Pandora Directive", but I can't make myself sit through this relic, I'm sorry but no. I'd rather watch the 30 min retrospective by Space Quest Historian.

This is the 1989 classic that launched the Tex Murphy franchise that remains one of the true icons of the video gaming industry. it is a short game by modern standards, but well worth playing to see the original version of the story before the Overseer rewrite.
