Tex Murphy: The Pandora Directive

The Tex Murphy series of adventure games could well be described as classics of the era. With the advent of CD-ROM technology in the mid 1990s, a whole new world of possibilities opened up due to the vast increase in storage space - it was finally possible to use real time voice recordings and video clips.Tex Murphy: The Pandora Directive is the third game in the Tex Murphy series. As always, you begin in Murphy`s modest office in the year 2043. Despite being down on his luck, and suffering from a pixellated appearance, Murphy perfectly encapsulates the classic trench coated, fedora sporting PI. His dry wit accompanies you as you navigate through the game`s challenges. The gameplay for Tex Murphy: The Pandora Directive is very much point and click based - while you`re able to move around, don`t expect any fight scenes or skill based moves. That`s no bad thing though - it`s simple to play, and you can enjoy engaging with the storyline. Under your control, Tex is hired to investigate an intriguing mystery which gradually unfolds to reveal a well-written plot. Fans of sci-fi movies and alien conspiracies are certainly well catered for here. The video interactions are perhaps a little dated, but they still serve to drive the storyline along quite effectively.
