Cool, thanks for letting me know. I wonder if its possible to re-publish the past books like UAKM and PD so they can get money from them again. They could also turn them into other formats such as for people to buy on their Kindle, iPad or whatever else people use (I don't own any but I know they're popular and could get some sales). Also audiobook versions with Chris Jones reading would be awesome and could be sold as CDs but also (and possibly more easily) as digital downloads via Amazon's Audible, iTunes etc. I think the readers like Kindle, iPad etc. also do audiobooks too.

That's funny considering one of the key locations on Chandler Avenue. Rook would be proud!Found UAKM at pawn shop.

My cousin, who always had interesting and unusual games to suggest, brought up UAKM one day. I was interested at the time, but limited in resources, considering the amount of games to be played. I was also more invested into consoles at the time.
Fast forward to Pandora's release in 96. I'm now a full-fledged pc gaming 12 year old teen, and I see a lengthy and detailed review on a tv show. Being an X-Files nuts, and remembering UAKM, I simply can't resist. Got the game during summer vacations, and was completely and utterly hooked. I got UAKM a few weeks after.
SO far only Deus Ex, and perhaps NOLF to some extent, has filled the void left by the lack of Tex in our world. But then the lack of Deus Ex-like games has left another hole in my existence! Games can be so cruel! They shape a part of your teenagehood, and walk away just when you think you'll be together forever, leaving you with pale copies and fast-consumed experiences.
Wait...are we still talking about games?

It is like yesterday, I bought my favorit PC magazin with demo CD, where PD demo, PD making of video a UAKM advertisment video was located. I played the demo and videos whole night aain and again (I was totally amazed).
Next day a went into my favorit game store and bought one copy of UAKM (PD was not released yet).
It is around 16years ago and UAKM box is still exposed on my cabinet (only the cabined changed few rooms as the time goes).

Hey Gang! I know I haven't been posting quite as often as before, but I still drop by quite a bit to see what's up, and I figured this was a good opportunity to show that I haven't gone completely missing 
How I became a Tex Murphy Addict and Learned to Shun the Sun
I think I must have been nine or ten when UAKM was released. I wasn't much into computers at the time...though I can't say the same for my older brother, who was in love with the darn things. At the time he worked at a company that built computers - the job didn't pay much, but one of the perks was that we would oftentimes be given a variety of extra computer parts to do with as he pleased...so after collecting an arsenal of various high-end components as well as becoming fluent in the trade of building high-end machines, he was able to build his own personal super-computer...probably one of the best in Norway at the time...that's what he led everyone to believe, anyhow. Around the same time my brother's best friend received Under a Killing Moon from his parents as a birthday present. His computer, on the other hand, couldn't even load the darn cd...so, it didn't take them long to realize they'd have to reach an understanding...my brother couldn't afford the game, and his best friend couldn't afford a new super-computer to play the game (super meaning fast enough to run UAKM, naturally). That summer my brother's best friend came to visit every day for about a two weeks straight to play UAKM. It was after about a week that I became interested in all the noise coming from the basement...so I decided to join. They were still stuck on day one, 'Cuffing up Flemm', after about a week of gameplay (to give them some credit, half that time was probably spent waiting on loading screens). I remember getting really into it while watching them struggle, and once it started making sense to me I made a few suggestions...Doesn't that look like broken glass? Use the crimelink computer! Hang the Rusty Doll on the crane Hook! And voila! They accepted me into their little club...so for the next week, the three of us solved the entire game together - a true communal effort! My brother's computer, his friend's game...and my, uhm, well, knack for solving puzzles. Best summer ever! And because summer in Norway only lasts about a week, it's needless to say that the three of us were whiter than light that year. So there you have it...
