Unofficial Tex Murphy

Arnold's likeness from the first Terminator film was spliced on top of actor Roland Kickinger who had the role of the T-800.

And the actor who played Hellboy was Ron Perlman. He's the guy who narrates the opening lines of the Fallout games.

Ron Perlman is awesome... He plays in that new FX Series, Sons Of Anarchy...

By the way, good to see ya too Doc! If I remember correctly, you're a programming sort, or something like that. I played that Text game Tex adventure you made that one time based off the book I do believe. I remember that actually being a lot of fun. Did anything ever come of that?

Thanks for the comments on the game demos. Sadly, nothing ever came of it. I implemented chapters eleven and twelve from the Pandora Directive novel into interactive fiction, but there was a pretty solid lack of interest here, so I dropped it. I figured that if it won't fly here among dedicated TM fans, it won't fly anywhere.

For what it's worth, you can still play the games online from my website here:

Hey Doc, that's pretty kewl... I just played some of that... It's a lot like the old Sierra games without the graphics of course... Really neat I enjoyed it...

Thanks. The purpose of the exercise was not to remake PD as a text adventure, but to test a proof-of-principle to see how easily and effectively a novelized story could be converted to interactive fiction. If successful, the next step was to implement an original fan-fiction story into a similar, but full-length text adventure game. I figured that was the only realistic way we were going to get a new Tex Murphy game.

Unfortunately, the interest-level was too low.
