Tex Murphy: Martian Memorandum (1991)
Tex Murphy: Martian Memorandum is a 1991 point-and-click video game made by Access Software and Nightdive Studios.
San Francisco, 2033. Tex Murphy, still behind on rent, picks up a case with an unusual destination: Mars. A billionaire's daughter has gone missing and the trail leads from Earth's underworld to the red planet's colonial settlements. The second Tex Murphy adventure pushed the series into science fiction territory, trading the first game's earthbound thriller for something stranger and more expansive. The same first-person perspective and inventory-based puzzles carry over, but the change in setting opens up new categories of suspect and motive.
