The wail of a siren, the bark of a gun. A private eye's job is never easy, and it only gets harder after the world nearly ended. A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do, though, and you've never given up on a tough job just because life wasn't fair. A Norm has to work hard to stay ahead of the muck that's in this world, and now's your chance to save Frisco from the worst of it. Life's like a dame: you gotta take care of it or, just when you think everything's going fine, you'll be out of luck.

That was a terrible metaphor, but when you've been kicked in the head as much as Tex has--and enjoyed as much bourbon--writing isn't your strong suit. Not much is, except finding the secrets that people don't want found, and making the world a little better.

If you're not familiar to Tex Murphy games let us make a short intro. The games take place in San Francisco, or what's left of it, in a not too distant future. You take the role of Tex Murphy, a down-on-his-luck private detective who finds it hard to make both ends meet every month. All five games are point and click, noir-style adventure games, take you through a different case and will test your deduction skills and wits.

This weekend, you can pick up the Tex Murphy games for 50% off, and see if you've got what it takes to make San Francisco a better place.
