Unofficial Tex Murphy

Jim! I don't think anybody's mentioned this yet, but it needs to be said.

"WE KEPT THE FAITH, JIM! WE KEPT THE FAITH!"

And look where we are now! On the cusp of reward for years of vigil.

I just wanted to say, Thank you Jim. For all you've been and still are to this community! Thank you for helping us keep the candle in the window burning brightly.

Man, I would pledge 500$ to have Jim's photo in the game!

You kept all them youngsters in line, Jimbo. Look what we've all accomplished together!

Amen to that, Fred.

I am totally overwhelmed....truly! First, this is the best message board in existence. Second, what a fantastic group of people from all parts of the globe. Pat yourselves on the back! Third, I was a little unsure of reaching our goal, but look what you have done! 94% as of June 7th!!! WOW! This is really a Kodak moment for all of us!

And Yes, Fred, you kept the faith and we are ready to rock in a new Tex game. Awesome!

JIM LIVES! Good to see you around I recall the last time you were here you were trying to launch a family coffee business? How's that going? I'd consider Kickstarter!

Coffee so-so; Tex rules! Love Kickstarter!

Actually, working part-time and trying to retire completely. Maybe in a year or two.

Me too. But, I keep not winning the lottery.

Next week on Kickstarter: Jim's Retirement Fund!

Not to turn this into suck-up time, but you know who else kept the faith? Chris, Aaron, Adrian, Doug, and everyone at Big Finish and beyond. Good show on believing, through all those years, that come hell or high water there was still room in this world for variety in gaming. Good job on fighting Hitler's plans for gaming hegemony!

Back to you, Jim!

Yeah thanks Jim Always been a pleasure!

And I agree Frank, its pretty key that the core team has remained close and been so determined to continue the series. There are other game series with a long-standing fanbase I would like to see continue but the creative team have mostly parted ways or gone onto other pursuits it seems. But here is very different.

Jim!!!

Oh man, to share this moment with one of the "founding fathers" of the fanbase, I could not have thought of anything better!

Kodak moment indeed! Wait, does that mean we will all go bankrupt soon? I guess with the way we are pledging, it seems likely! LOL.

-Cub. =o)

But...it will be grand! Tex is back, and I can always make more money!

I would also like to throw my fedora into the ring. Being a member of some of us who have been here for years, it always has been Jim that has kept our spirits high and one of the constant shining light keeping this board to thrive. I give a very sincere thanks to you for helping to keep this board alive. Later.

That's the spirit Jen.

I think we should all gather for a group hug. We all hung in and supported each other all these years. When one of us was down, the others pulled them back up. So thanks to everyone for sticking together.

What a great moment - I can't believe how much has happened in the last 8 hours while I've been sleeping.

So we're about to hit $440,000 - surely we will hit target TODAY!?!?

What a great moment to share with everyone on this board.

You've always been the man, Jim, I hope you know that. When things came down the pike, everything finally looked up, and clicked together finally, who do we look to as if to say "Did we do good?" ... Our equivalent of the wise-man, our witch-doctor, our beloved Patron of Tex, The Old Guy.

This is for you Jim!
