Tex Murphy: Mean Streets
A 1989 noir detective adventure that got remade in 2014 with live-action video and point-and-click mystery solving, janky but charming if you're into old-school adventure games.
GamerScout Verdict
For adventure game enthusiasts willing to embrace its B-movie aesthetic and dated production values.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Tex Murphy: Mean Streets
I went in expecting a janky remake of a game older than I am, and that's exactly what I got. Tex Murphy is a private eye in 2033 San Francisco investigating a professor's death that spirals into something bigger. You navigate pre-recorded live-action scenes, click around for clues, and puzzle through dialogue trees that feel more authentic for their awkwardness than any modern mo-cap cutscene. It's rough. The acting is community-theater earnest, the production values are deliberately retro, and the interface will frustrate anyone expecting modern QoL. But if you loved the original or you're the type who finds charm in mid-budget adventure games that know what they are, this scratches that itch. It's short, it's weird, and it commits to its weird. Not for everyone, but exactly right for its people.
