Tex Murphy: Under A Killing Moon - A Fair & Balanced Retrospective
The Tex Murphy series' 3rd installment was one of the early 90s biggest FMV gambles, and it's arguably one of the few FMV games that managed to balance gameplay and full motion video. Tex must stop a doomsday cult with nothing but his wits while his mentor strains the sauce.
