Looks a worthy project to me, assuming you'll be alive in 2028! >https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/texmurphy/tex-murphy-killing-moon-rising
The Tex Murphy games are a franchise I enjoyed more as an idea than
actually playing. They had their own unique style and were quality
titles but they never really grabbed me and made me want to play the
next one. They were quite technically advanced for their time; the
first couple of games were at the forefront of digital speech (using
Access's own proprietary digitized-speech-through-the-PC-speaker tech,
which worked a lot better than you'd expect), and later with FMV and
highly detailed (if small) rooms you could move around in full 3D.
I'm not really into kickstarter but I can see myself adding the final
games to my library when they come out, if only for the sake of
nostalgia.
