Unofficial Tex Murphy

I just felt like making a thread and this is what came to mind. Anyway what is your favorite cinematic scene from any of the Tex Murphy games? For me I guess it would be a toss up between the Tex's gun scene in Under a Killing Moon because it's just so hilarious or the fight with the Black Arrow Killer in Pandora, that was just purely enthralling.

Alright...

UAKM:
Capturing Mick Flemm (in the warehouse).
Conversation with Eddie Ching.
Two conversations with Melahn Tode.
UAKM ending.

PD:
Looking on photo of Sylvia Linsky, Tex ex-wife (dragon).
Conversation with Emily (in her room).
Chase and fight with Black Arrow Killer (with saving Emily).
FASCINATING conversation with Jackson Cross in NSA (it reminds me our KGB).
Scene in Waterfront warehouse (conversation with Malloy and escape).
PD ending (Mission Street, dinner with Chelsee).

Overseer:
Shooting in Robert Knott cabin.
Fight with Big Jim Slade.

Any scene with that gorgeous woman from Capricorn

Who? Eva Shanzee or Wanda Peck?

I'd take either one of them if my wife let me.

My favorite from UAKM is the session with Eddie Ching. I always choose the conversations with "rude" and "gruff" responses. My favorite line is:
"You mean to tell me the world is gonna end on Thursday? Dammit! I don't get my unemployment check until Friday!"

My favourite scene comes about due to a sound bug.

In Pandora, sometimes when you enter a cutscene the music stops normally, then it's like a note is played at the end - like someone fell on the piano or something. Anyway, the first time you talk to Nilo, after he calls you a 'sneaking piece of slop', if you quickly select 'Hint At Violence' as the response, Tex will say "You know, I think I might just take that cigar and shove it down your throat. What do you think about that?" Then the sound bug kicks in and it sounds like the music stops playing in surprise.

Try it.

I like when Tex puts out his cigerette in Archie's tea. Actually, that whole scene makes me ROTF. I love it.

How about the first time Tex goes to see Wanda Peck. He asks her about the beauty pageant and she resonds: "I was investigating complaints of bra-zapping (or facsimile)". Tex replies: "that's good work, if you can get it."

"What can I do for you, Mr Murphy?"

"Well for starters, why don't you and I get married?"

I always loved the scene in PD where Tex (finally) finds / catches up with Dr. Malloy, and he tells his story. The dark notes it's all delivered on, the sense of doom and gloom, and not to mention the way our hero gets out of the situation (and the building)... Love it. Absolutely love it.

PS: And yeah, I agree. Wanda Peck's a hottie.

UAKM:
- The ending sequence wowed me... especially seeing as I had never seen something that cool on a PC game before.
- I also love when Tex first attempts to break into Eddie Ching's apartment... man I had to laugh, and often!

Pandora:

- I always liked the Black Arrow Killer showdown.
- Tex's journey through the Peruvian Jungle.
- Tex's conversation with Malloy.
- The revelation of the Pandora Device.
- The entire ending sequence topped off with the Holodate ending (still my favourite).
- And of course, Tex's first confrontation with Gus Leach:

Tex: "We'll you dropped you key, so I thought I would run it over and check if it was the right one"
Leach: "We'll you're just a regular boy scout aren't ya!"
Tex: "Yeah! And now my mum gets to sew on my 'breaking and entering' patch!"

Overseer:

- I always liked Gideon's Monologue in Overseer.
- The whole clock tower sequence.
- Both Sonny's and Gideon's death (still extremely emotional).
- Tex's encounter with Delores Lightbody.
- Tex's Encounter with Larry Hammond.

-Cub. =o)

Great choices, everyone! Here's another from the annals (notice the 2 Ns) of TOG:

OVERSEER:
Tex's second encounter with Delores Lightbody. He states firmly, "Look, Delores, you and I are never gonna get it on. We need to keep this on a purely professional basis." Delores responds seductively, "Say what you will. Your hungry eyes tell a different story." I love it!

Also from Overseer: After Tex tells Detective Eve Clements where she can find Big Jim Slade, go back once or twice (even though you don't have to) and see what she says, er, yells to Tex.

The one I never saw and may never do was when you said to go back to talk to Gus Leach after picking up the brown paper and before examining it. Wish I had had the chance.

Yeah, that's a cool scene. Gus says he wants to let Emily rest and Tex says he wants to talk with Leach. Good scene.

Did anybody figure out what the steps where to get Gus' answering machine message again??

I remember once when playing Mission Street that at some stage Tex got a vidphone message from Gus at the flamingo thanking him for all his help and saying they were going on a holiday to get away from things for a while.

But, no matter how hard I try I can never get it to happen again.
