The true identity of Dr. X revealed!

A few years ago, during the dark ages when here was no prospect of Tex Murphy ever returning, this forum was host to a whole series of bizarre events and characters. One of those was Dr. X, a character whom came here to inform us of a conspiracy being driven by Microsoft to prevent Tex ever returning. The whole thing was quite odd but not without its humour. Dr. X eventually went into exile with one promise only; if Tex returned, his true identity would be revealed. Well, it's now my duty to announce that Dr. X was indeed myself.

I was 16 at the time so I hope you can forgive my past misdemeanor, but I have gone on to be a better community member since. However, I cannot vouch for Kator. I had nothing to do with that character nor do I know the identity of that person. That enigma threw me as much as it did you.
What was that... Oh, I see.

For those of you who need a refresher, a user named Dr. X left a message on the forums asserting that there was a conspiracy by a covert group affiliated with Microsoft who were trying to prevent a Tex game from ever happening.

Not long after, a user named Kator claimed to be an alien who was allegedly hired by this organisation but refused to do their dirty work as it went against his sense of morals.

It was a really nutty time. This was back in the day where you didn't even need to register to be a user here. I think I was aboout 16 when all this happened.
Sounds like it was fun. :wink:
so you have kept this secret all these years

tex murphy is back in town
Yeah, I had made a promise at the time so it only made sense to follow through with it. I do wonder who Kator was though.
Wow. That was indeed a long time ago. I'd almost forgotten about Dr. X and Kator.

I can now sleep and discontinue psychotherapy knowing that weight off my shoulders has been lifted.
Holy blast-from-the-past! I hadn't thought about Dr. X in forever.
Only one way to set this straight, Joel. You and me, pistols at dawn

How about a round of golf on Chandler Avenue when we hit 130% instead?

Wow... well then... Who's going to reveal the next secret??

Is Cub going to confess he is actually Chris Jones, which explains why he knows so much about project fedora, and that all the previous times he has used a picture of himself on the board or online it has been of some random person whom he has chosen to represent him!?

Oh the intrigue!

-Chris. =o)
Just quietly...

Hahahaha, I imagine this was just about everyone's reaction when they found out we got funded.
I'm not fat ... I'm festively plump.
