Adventure Countdown Tex Murphy The writer of the Tex Murphy series, Chris Jones, also stars as Tex Murphy in games 3-5. The series was inspired by Chris Jones' "The Singing Detective" (1987), a short, tongue-in-cheek screenplay about Tex Murphy, a space ace who was a cross between Roy Rogers and Humprey Bogart. This screenplay was never produced. 1: Mean Streets Type: Moving character graphics/Point-n-Click/Sound Written 1989 by Chris Jones.

Notes: Very similar to LucasArts games like Maniac Mansion and Zak McKracken. 3: Under a Killing Moon Type: 3D/Video clips/Point-n-Click Written 1995 by Chris Jones and Aaron Conners.

Notes: Starring Chris Jones (Tex Murphy), Kevin McCarthy (Gordon Fitzpatrick), Bill Bradshaw (Archie Ellis), Aaron Conners (Dag Horton), Tanya Roberts (Regan Madsen) and more. It has two different game levels (Entertainment and Game Players), three different paths (Mission Street, Lombard Street, Boulevard of Broken Dreams -- which path you follow depends of certain decisions you take in certain time) and six endings. It is divided into ten chapters (days). 5: Overseer Type: 3D/Video clips/Point-n-Click Written 1998. Notes: This was the first game released in DVD format and the first to require eight CDs. Either the information about eight CDs is wrong or there are two different versions, since another person has told me he has the game on five CDs.
