Podcast appearances and mentions of Tex Murphy

This week detectives Shrink and Rage are on the case with Tex Murphy for a late, but present, gameclub episode. Enjoy! Topics list: For Show Date: 04/15/2025    Gameclub: Tesla Effect Next Gameclub: Balatro 58% Of PC Gaming Revenue In 2024 Came From Microtransactions Switch 2?   News Items and sources: 58% Of PC Gaming Revenue In 2024 Came From Microtransactions https://tech4gamers.com/microtransactions-half-pc-gaming-revenue/   Switch 2? https://www.nintendo.com/us/gaming-systems/switch-2/features/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2025/04/14/nintendo-switch-2-delay-due-to-trump-tariffs-see-release-day-in-nj/83083565007/

There once was a time when we questioned podcasts taking long hiatus periods or doing old re-releases on this show. How nieve we were! Life once again stands in the way. Rage's new job and work schedule combined with my own major career changes again makes it hard to record. We believe next week's schedule hold solid promise for recording, and we can finally get past Tex Murphy onto the next gameclub and some regular shenanigans. We love and appreciate you so much. 

This week responsibility got in the way again, but we have new Franken Content since we were able to record a few weeks in a row. Enjoy the show, and we should be back next wee to talk Tex Murphy!

With Gareth Myles and Ted SalmonJoin us on Mewe RSS Link: https://techaddicts.libsyn.com/rss Direct Download iTunes | Google Podcasts | Stitcher | Tunein | Spotify  Amazon | Pocket Casts | Castbox | PodHubUK   Feedback and Contributions: Phillip Wray says that regarding records after death from the last show, I use my OneDrive as a mirrored backup of all of my files on the PC so all of my data is locally available. The low cost of storage these days means that putting an extra drive in your PC and mirroring your cloud storage is a simple and cheap solution to this problem. Phillip Wray on Point and click adventures - the Tex Murphy series are my favourites! Frank Niethardt I loved adventures back in the 90s. All of the titles that Gareth spoke about rang a bell somewhere. Most of them I played as well. In recent years I found it hard to find anything comparable. The Deponia series was recommended to me and I can recommend it myself. Could be a good starting point for Ted.

Fan turned archivist Mat Van Rhoon of Big Finish Games tells the story of the lost Tex Murphy series production tapes in a recent article, Tex Murphy and the Raiders of the Lost Tapes. We hear about the sheer elation, joy, and maddening frustration these adventures in preservation led to, as well as the odd places from which some of these tapes were excavated. From discovery to digitization, Mat really put a tick in the ‘Win' column for game history preservation!

Dr. Snuggles and friends return for episode 32 of our spin-off show about the weird world of softcore skin-flicks! It's finally Jim Wynorski time, as we check out his 1993 debut erotic thriller Sins of Desire! It's got what you'd call an all-star erotic thriller cast, with Jay Richardson, Tanya Roberts, Delia Sheppard, Becky LeBeau, Monique Parent, Jan-Michael Vincent, Nick Cassavetes, Carrie Stevens and Gail Thackray all showing up! That is one crazy cast. There are maybe less thrills than one might expect from the erotic thriller genre, but there are explosions and shootouts and plasma balls and awesome Becky LeBeau songs and also a genuinely beautifully shot finale in a spooky abandoned film studio. Plus, we chat about the life and times of the one and only Tanya Roberts. She's done it all, from Charlie's Angels to James Bond, with some truly unexpected detours in between, including a rock 'n' roll wrestling movie with Roddy Piper, and The Pandora Directive, the fourth game in the Tex Murphy point and click adventure game series. Special guest Jim Ether says that's a good game, by the way. Also, please help our buddy Jimmy out by contributing to his Patreon so he can make more delightful arts!

Chris Jones, star of the Tex Murphy video games, joins us to discuss the long history of dinosaur movies and their new low point. Militarized raptors were not enough to save the latest Jurassic movie. 

This weekend, we're talking about games that are old... but despite our approaching them with the trepidation befitting older, jankier software, they hold up like a dream. Elsewhere, we talk about difficult media (again, with a content warning for the mention of movies that depict sexual assault), and really, REALLY enjoy our weekend projects. Discussed: Alpha Centauri, The Last Express, Brutal Legend, System Shock, Tex Murphy, Mass Effect: Andromeda, Assassin's Creed, LA Noire, Persona 5, sexism at E3, Dawn of War 3, Cloud Atlas, Jessica Jones, GNOG

This weekend, we get good and mad about genres that just happen to be from the decade when we were kids/teens, that get stomped all over. Genres like the 3D platformer and the FMV. Why? Because some people on the internet are besmirching the good name of our dearest Banjo and/or Tex. Don't worry, we have plenty to say about newer games as well! Discussed: Yooka-Laylee, Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Psychonauts, FMV Adventure, Tex Murphy, Gabriel Knight 2: The Beast Within, Wing Commander 3, Contradiction: Spot the Liar, C&C: Red Alert 3, Mass Effect: Andromeda, Uncharted 2, Nier: Automata, Life is Strange, The Uncle Who Works at Nintendo, Caprica

Heya Blockers! It's time for episode 51! This time around I'm changing things up a bit and covering a new game, Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure which came out back on May 7th, 2014. In the news: More accusations in the Zenimax/Oculus VR lawsuit. Levar Burton has launched a kickstarter to bring Reading Rainbow to the web. We then get to the main topic, Tesla Effect.

The launch trailer for Wolfenstein: The New Order is out and the game releases next week. A kickstarter for The Way, a game in the spirit of Another World and Flashback can use your support! We then get on to Warcraft. I get into a big focus on lore, gameplay and development story. Sadly, there's nowhere to buy the games digitally! Next time, I'll be discussing the newly released Tex Murphy kickstarter game, Tesla Effect.

Hey there blockers! It's yet again time for another show! This week, something a little bit different. Instead of covering a specific game, we're gonna get techie and discuss some ways to play all these great old games I've been covering on our modern, ultra-fast, multi-core gaming rigs. But first, some news. I follow up once again on both the Tex Murphy and SpaceVenture kickstarters. Check em out and give your support if you think they're worthwhile! Also, the E3 show has been going on this week where trailers were released for the next SimCity and the new X-COM: Enemy Unknown game in development. I wanted to let everyone know about The Blackwell Bundle, a cool adventure series done in the style of classic VGA adventure games that I've been playing since the last show. Check it out! The main topic for the week is how to get old games running well on modern systems. We cover some background, what difficulties we encounter trying to get this all running. Then I start the discussion of emulation, define what it is and where it's used. I then get into details of two different applications that are used to run DOS games in emulation, DOSBox and ScummVM. Finally we listen to an audio comment from Dan where he talks about his experience with retro gaming and DOS emulation on iOS. That's that! Enjoy the show and see you all next time when we talk about Wolfenstein 3D!

Greetings Blockers! Welcome to episode 5! This week I've got a big topic to cover, the Space Quest series by Sierra Online! Since we have six games to cover in a single show, the news is quick this time: Firstly, Jane Jensen's kickstarter funded, exceeding their 300,000 dollar goal. Secondly, I came across news of a Tex Murphy kickstarter. Tex Murphy isn't a game series I played, but go check out their project page if you're interested! We then get into the main topic, the Space Quest series. I cover how Sierra's adventure game paradigm differs from the LucasArts one we already covered and then I get into Space Quest's development story. The bulk of the show is going through each of the six games talking about plot, technology and some fun facts and features of each. I play a great audio comment from Rick Moyer where he interviews a friend that he used to play Space Quest with. Thanks Rick! With regard to the future of the Space Quest series I talk about the new SQ2 remake and remind everyone about the Two Guys kickstarter. To close out the show, I came across a really great cover medley of Space Quest 4 music by Brandon Blume, you can go grab it and see his other work at his site, http://brandonblume.com/ and his YouTube channel. Next week: A bit of a different show, I won't be covering a game. I'm going to talk about ways to get old games working on modern systems. General talk about virtualization, DOSBox, ScummVM, etc. Should be interesting! Hope to see you! Buy Space Quest on GOG or Steam.
