Tex Murphy scratches that Blade Runner itch

Thoroughly enjoyed, had skipped this title in my childhood - When you die it sends you straight back to the first scene of the game. Get used to seeing that apartment. Also its quite odd not being able to look at your items once you've picked them up. By the end of the game you have an inventory full of items of long forgotten origin.

It took me 30 years to finish this game, enjoyed every year of it.

The sound is minimal, but memorable - the pc speaker voices are remarkably clear.

Interrogating suspects requires you to physically interact with physical pen and paper, there is simply no way you can remember the nav codes or exact spelling of all the names you'll chase down - by the time I finished the game I had a page of insane writing with arrows between names and numbers that is sure to have my FBI agent scratching his head for days.

The flight simulator mechanic - piloting your speeder from one location to another - initially it is annoying and time consuming, the autopilot for example insists on taking you up 10000 feet before hitting the gas, however within no time I was manually piloting my speeder and thinking ahead about nearby nav points. By the end of the game you'll have pitch and bank control turned off and be flying like a madman.

Be sure and lower the dosbox cpu cycles at a certain part otherwise the game is unfinishable - you'll never beat that robot.
