Trivia question, of sorts

On the TMO box is a tall building with a light on top (some boxes came with a flashing red light; others did not). What building is that?

I know my box came with the flashing light. But I cant find it right now, and I dont remember.

What some did not know is this: those batteries are replaceable. Course, it helps if you can find the box.

Are you asking because you don't know, or do you know the answer and just want to see if anybody else knows?
I still have my flashing light and box, dragged it out now and ofcourse the battery is dead. I also got a Day One cheat sheet which was the same size as the box and had a little fold over bit to slide onto the top

Jtog will know the answer. There's very little about Tex that he doesn't know. I think the only thing I ever caught him out on was the different brands of whiskey Tex drinks in each game, and two of the three you saw for a split second only and had to take a picture to really see the name.
Jim, is it the CAPRICORN building, at a guess?

That is the
TransAmerica Pyramid in San Francisco. (Incidentally, the box art in question also serves as the background on the UOTM site, with a few alterations)

Thanks, James! Actually, I had forgotten the name of the building. At any rate, I have a broach (?) from TMO and it came with a battery and flashing light.

I was looking around to see if I could find my box for TMO. Unfortunately, I don't seem to have it anymore, but I was surprised to find that I still have the UAKM box.

I've kept all the boxes (UAKM, Pandora & Overseer) in a safe palce... they are fun to have a read through every now again.

Speaking of which, I finally bought a bookshelf to house my collection of Tex stuff. I'm almost finished arranging the items and when I'm done I will post some pics.
