The past week I've been chipping away a bit here and there playing Ted Murphy: Under a Killing Moon (1994). It's a lot of fun.

It feels like the right kind of game to ease my mind a bit more into thinking in terms of puzzle games, if that makes sense. The puzzles are not too difficult for someone as puzzle-game-impaired as I seem to be.

I didn't realize how disc-swap heavy playing this game would really be, but in some parts you have to switch discs quite frequently. I suppose it would've been quite helpful if my old PC had two drives.

But, in the end of the day that's not really a big deal. Kind of lends to the era appropriateness I suppose.

I'm not sure how far I am, but I get the feeling that I'm probably quite far along, maybe 70/80%?

I'm playing with the mouselook patch, which really makes playing this game so much nicer. The default controls really are... awkward. You can get the patch here, where you can also find a similar patch for the sequel, Pandora Directive: https://github.com/moralrecordings/tex3-mouselook
