Hi everyone, I have the pleasure to tell you that my latest interview has gone live. This time I had the opportunity to have a look back at the Tex Murphy series together with Aaron Conners who shares many interesting stories and anecdotes from the creation of the Tex Murphy games.

Aside of that, the interview also contains information about the experiences that Big Finish made with the three Cards games and the current status of Big Finish games, so this interview should be interesting for all of you board members. Please let me know what you think, I really hope you'll enjoy the article!!! :)

Good interview. Is that a photo of Aaron at the top? Surely that's not grey hair. He can't possibly aging like the rest of us.

good interview.
interesting, I want to know who James Earl Jones son is because he seem pump up about UKM and his father being in it back in 1994 before UKM release. I wonder if James Earl Jones son a Tex Murphy fan, hmm?

well I think the interview states that earl james Jones son knew UAKM was in development & was stoked that he father could be a part of it. Reads to me that the son was a big fan.

Maybe the son was his agent..

Very interesting interview. It's almost like we've been with them through all those years and times of change. Feels like it too.

Interesting retrospect and a good read. Thanks for doing and sharing!

One thing about AC, and I say this every time, but it keeps on being true. Every bloody time I see a new picture, every few years or so, he looks really different, notwithstanding regular aging. It's beginning to blow my mind, really!

I agree, he looks great as always, but grey happens, crud, I've been dyeing mine since my mid 20's. It was in the gene pool, my Mom was the same. That's 2 articles recently. Glad he's getting a little more exposure. :mrgreen:

I'm really glad you like the interview! :)

Personally, I thought that Aaron's views on the casual market are pretty interesting after the experiences they made. It's quite a bummer that they won't be doing games like 3 Cards anymore and that Aaron doesen't even seem to be a part of Big Finish Games anymore. But welll, what can you do.
