I'll be interested to hear whether you like it or not. I don't think the game was too popular. I played it a very long time ago and I think I liked it well enough. What OS are you playing on and is it working okay?

Hi OB, If you're referring to the Dead Mountaineer's Hotel, I found it odd I didn't see this released back in the day. With that said, I'm using steam to play it & it works fine with win11. The dialogue/characters isn't so great but I do like the story line & game play. I'm playing a 2nd time around and enjoying it.

Sorry, revco. Yes I was referring to Dead Mountaineer's Hotel. It's good to hear that it works on Win 11 and that you are enjoying it (for a 2nd time). I may try to replay it someday as I don't remember too much about it.

Thank you for posting here!!

I always visitor here but don't post much. It's funny to see you in the walkthrough...

To not get "foul" --- Hit a ball you want to go to the pocket by hitting it with another ball. (Thanks to oldbroad.)

You should revisit it. woot

LOL! I had such a hard time with the pool game. I just wasn't understanding how it worked. I was just trying to shoot the balls into the pockets without using the cue ball. I forgot MaG put that in there. blush

I am replaying the last (so far) installment to the Tex Murphy series, Tesla Effect. The last I played it was when it was first released 2014, wow 11 years ago. I forgot how much I enjoyed this game, currently in Day 8 and re-loving it but it also makes me sad that the fan made game Poison Pawn has been postponed as has the fabulous HD update to the Pandora Directive. I am hoping that both will eventually be restarted as now I am starving for more Tex Murphy.

I also love the Tex Murphy games. Chris Jones is beyond perfect in his role as Tex. They could easily have made a successful television series based on that character.

I started replaying Pandora Directive recently, but decided to wait and see if the remake would be completed sooner or later. It wasn't until I read this thread that I realised that it has been put on hold. cry

While the original game still has its charm, I did find the movement pretty clunky and rather difficult. This is no fault of Access Software by any means, since they more or less invented the system, and it was extremely innovative at that time. But time has proven that pushing your mouse backwards and forwards isn't the best way to move around in a scene.
