The "I changed my Avatar" Thread

Okay, VFP... I see your new Tex Murphy Avatar...  I am a huge Tex fan-  I even worked for Access for a summer when Overseer was coming out.

Are you likewise a Tex fan, or did the picture just strike you?

Big fan of the first game, just started the second game. Available for purchase at gog.com. I am an uncompensated endorser.

I was thinking about changing my avatar, but I wouldn't know what to change it to.  If I ever get a ForceFX lightsaber, I'll probably change it to a picture of me with it.

Just take a picture of yourself holding a broom handle and retroscope it into a lightsaber, would look even better than the ForceFX ones.

 "First" game means some different things to Tex Murphy fans (much as it does to Star Wars fans).

Mean Streets was very first- my mom & dad knew some of the developers.
Martian Memorandum came next
then technology spiked, and...
Under a Killing Moon was sort of the "first" of the new generation.
Pandora Directive perfected the experience
and then
Overseer came along and retold the story from "Mean Streets", so you could consider this the first one.

When Pandora Directive came out, my best friend somehow managed to start playing my copy (at my own house!) before I could, so I dug up Mean Streets and started playing that for some reason.  I got so into it that I finished Mean Streets before starting PD.  I think that's a testament to the quality of a game when you can do that!

Recently, I made my wife play UAKM and PD with me.  We were going to follow it up with Overseer, but somehow we got off track.  :(

(Crap.  I created this thread to hopefully keep the Avatar change discussions out of other threads.  Looks like I just ended up having my Tex Murphy discussion here instead...)

Yeah, I was going chronologically. Mean Streets was so good its flaws were awesome.

 So you're playing Overseer or Mean Streets?  I do love Mean Streets.  Maybe I should go home and start it over, bash dagget!

What can I say about my avatar, other than Harvey Korman was awesome. Plus History Of The World Pt 1 is one of my favorite movies.

No, I'm playing Martian Memorandum.

Ah, I re-read your post.  It's all making sense to me.  MM seems to me to be the one that dated the most.  I'm not sure why... but I don't know if I could stand playing through that one again.  Let me know how you find it.

The next three are the best with Pandora Directive being absolute best.

Sorry, Sluggo... I don't know who told you what... but this is the Tex Murphy thread.

Noo! All these changing faces are getting confusing, I am having a hard enough time coping with Eye Shot First and Vote_for_Palp.'s changes.
