Anyone here remember the Tex Murphy series of games?  You know, the detective series that was on PC in the late 80’s and early 90’s.  Later in the series they became familiar with gamers due to their use of full motion video with such renowned acting talent as Margot Kidder and Russell Means, but the original titles were great little adventure games, that were cheesy, yet fun to play.  They followed the standard model of point and click, puzzle solving and of course, reading lots of over the top writing.  The games are a bit outdated at this point, but they are a lot of fun to revisit from time to time to see what was hot in gaming back in the day.
