Longwinded & Pretty
Educated
Made a trip to the parentals recently, and after a quick look in the basement to see what goodies I may have left there (found my old copy of 'Shattered Lands', box and all) I came across the 6 cds that made up 'The Pandora Directive', a game I remember playing when I was younger and being a little bit in awe of the time.
That said, let me clarify that 'awe' may come off as a strong word to use, but I was a real fuckwit back in the day (still am to certain extents) and the entire FMV phase was something I found kind of cool... hey, I told ya I was a fuckwit.
Well, back on track here. The reason I'm bringing it up now is that though I always knew there was a previous game by the name of 'Under a Killing Moon' I just discovered an older game called 'Martian Memorandum' as well, though that one is labeled as 'Tex Murphy 2' on the website I'm taking a look at. Not in the mood to check Wiki out to see what the full series is, as my main question is how these games have aged since the FMV fad fell out.
I'm probably going to give Pandora another try, as I remember I was too dull to even try the hard mode of the puzzles back in the day, but how are the other two, and the series as a whole? I know you guys are nice and honest with your commentary, so what is the Codex's opinions on these games, or recommendations if I shouldn't bother with them at all.
