After hooking up an HTPC to my big screen, I thought it would be cool to boot up some good ole' Tex Murphy goodness. After all, it is an interactive movie, isn't it? Playing Tex on my TV was something I could only dream about when I first played UAKM. Back then, it was played on a 13" VGA CRT monitor.
After I started playing it on the big screen, it soon became a family event and everyone joined in to solve the mystery and stop the great Alluvian.
My 13 year daughter especially fell in love with the games. She wants to play all the time. In fact, she now asks to wear my Fedora when we play the games together. She's such a cutie.
Although we plan to uncover the Pandora Directive this weekend, she already snuck ahead and listened to the Radio Theater (twice) thanks to this site.
So I would like to thank Chris Jones, Aaron Conners, and the rest of the Tex gang for helping bring my family closer together and helping create another father/daughter bonding moment.
I wonder if I could convince Chris Jones to autograph something for my daughter. She already thinks it would be supercool to get his autograph.

Gunslinger, your heartwarming story made me squee and clap my hands! Your daughter is clearly a girl of distinction and excellent taste. Bravo!
She deserves a P.I. makeover. Think she'd fancy a double-breasted full-length trench coat, a dress shirt, a necktie, a pair of slacks, and a pair of shiny wing tips or comfy sneakers to go with the fedora?

Playing on the big screen is a very natural transition not to be taken as 'outlandish' or 'overly austentacious'. I also have quite recently been seen in the house playing Overseer all the way through for the first time with my father on the big screen, stripped to my skivies as per the blistering heat of Utah in the summer, all while eating cereal, ice cream, popsicles, skittles, and tuna fish sandwiches and enjoying the blissfull gratification achieved through the completion of this wonderfuly humorous and mysterious interactive movie. I am also going to pass this on to the second generation of Parker but alas I am only 21 years old and have no one to pass it on to... Yet. Tex Murphy has always been a sort of family event with my father and I since I was at least 4 and it is GREAT to hear that someone else is sharing in the family fun there is to be had with this Tex Murphy Saga. All thanks go to Chris Jones, Aaron Connors, and everyone else that happened to be a part of Access to create these great stories. So thank you Gunslinger for connecting the truth that there is not only a personal enjoyment to playing these games but also an enjoyment to be had with the whole family.
