Who is Tex Murphy?

You may have seen the title of this post scratched in any number of places around the web, on the side of your local highway, or on a friendly donkey walking down the sidewalk.

Chances are you haven’t. It’s the start of a grass roots campaign by a very small but dedicated group of Tex Murphy fans. Introduced to the world in 1989, Tex is a down-on-his-luck 1930’s style private investigator living a hundred years too late in a post-apocalyptic San Francisco. There were five video games and a one-hour radio play produced.

A huge fan of Tex Murphy, I am doing my part by creating a wiki dedicated to the collection and preservation of information about Tex. You can check it out at www.texopedia.com (pops), although there’s nothing there yet but a bare-bones install of MediaWiki. I, along with some other people, plan to add content to it in the coming weeks.
