What you have here is a fantastic piece of games developer engineering that has etched its way into history as one of the most memorable adventures. Through amazingly advanced graphics (for the era), a deep story, with incredibly hilarious and witty humour, Access Software deliver the title that is "Under a Killing Moon".
This game is a fantastic first person interactive adventure, set in San Francisco in 2042 AD, when the world has become a post apocalyptic and bleak place to live. You are Tex Murphy, PI and DI (Private Investigator and Dance Instructor), and looking for work.
Not expecting to get much more work than finding someones lost puppy, Tex winds up traveling the country, and even ending up on the giant cultist Moonchild floating away in space. Facing extreme danger with manly pleading, Tex lucks his way through a barrage of hilarious and interesting situations with the witty humour that makes Tex, Tex.
If you have never played the game, it might take some getting used to, but I guarantee this game will keep you immersed and wanting more for hours. The enormous game was on 4 cds for the time, and guarantees plenty of play time to figure things out (unless you use a walkthrough).
Five stars for this amazing game.
