Holy Crap! I had no idea people still loved Tex Murphy...

I'm so happy to find this site. I have the novels and I always loved playing these games. Is there anyway to play these games now, on a modern computer!?!?!? This is awesome I love this site.
There are ways to play the series now through dosbox, http://dosbox.sf.net

I thought I was the only one who would have thought of that!

Mulder & Scully are a great duo :D Great series and thrilling stories! Especially loved Mulder :)

I'm a late bloomer to the series. I caught a few episodes during the years it was actually on the air, but the thing of it was, I must have caught what they term in the DVD's as "mythology" episodes. So much stuff was going on that I didn't understand who was who, what their intentions were, etc ...

I seen the movie, and loved it, and that brought me to the point of buying the Series. I'm up to season three, and I'm loving everything about it. The story is masterfully told. Like the episode "E.B.E." on season one. The entire episode, they're hunting an E.B.E., and yet you never see one. It's hinted at the entire episode (and has one of the most confusing endings I've ever seen), and the only thing you get is empty beds, and equipment showing where it was. But I label it one of my favorite episodes, simply because of the suspense put into it.

But so far, my favorite episode is on season three "Jose Chung's Messages From Outer Space" ... the beginning of that episode, where the two aliens get the kids out of the car, and then the other space ship lands, and another alien attacks them ... and the original aliens start talking in english .."What is that thing?" ... "How the hell should I know .." is a classic beginning. Goosebumps everytime I see it. And Jesse Ventura, and Alex Trebeck having cameo's along with the comedic nature of the story. Pure gold. Another classic moment was Mulder's girly "yelp" when he seen the dead alien. I never laughed so hard.

After the clifhanger in episode three, I'm awaiting my next pay-check with baited breath so I can grab season four.

Jose Chung is definitely one of the best. It's simply a crime that Darin Morgan didn't write more. His are the best written of all - which is saying a lot. The writing on that show even through the end outclasses practically every show before, contemporary, or since. Just amazing.

Oh, but wait before you buy the next season! In January they're re-releasing them - only much cheaper!

I'm up to the end of Season 4 myself. Been renting them through an online DVD service (though i bought the first season yonks ago).

Season 4 was great cause i remember a lot of the episodes from TV when they originally aired.

And i still say that season cliffhanger is one of the best and most evil.
