It turns out that he was one of eight scientists involved in Project Overlord, a mission to remotely control people. Tex soon learns of the deaths of other related figures. Suspects may include the British intelligence head, a surveillance company owner, and the professor's daughter.</p> <p>Tex's first adventure takes the player through the seedy West Coast world of 2033, a setting that combines futuristic elements with film noir and "hardboiled" detective fiction styles. The game's main adventure portions are icon-driven, with object puzzles less significant than detective deduction and character interaction. Characters are represented by digitized photos.</p> <p><em>Mean Streets</em> features dozens of characters to interact with by asking questions or offering bribes. Fights often arise, but a diplomatic approach is more successful with characters whose guilt is unproven. Although it is largely an adventure game, travel between cities involves piloting Tex's Lotus Speeder in a flight simulation section. The game also contains side-scrolling action sequences where Tex has to eliminate a number of enemies before being able to proceed to the destination.</p> </div> <toggle-long-text element-id="description-text"></toggle-long-text> </section> <section id="gameGroups"> <h2>Groups <a href="/contribute/game-group-game/game/221/" class="link-contributor" rel="nofollow">+</a></h2> <ul class="list-group flex flex-wrap gap-xxs"> <li class="badge text-ellipsis"> <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/11644/protagonist-pi-private-investigator/">Protagonist: P.I.

Speaking of flying, I'm sure many disliked this feature in the game. However, it added greatly to the realism, since you couldn't just "warp" from one location to the next. After returning from a far-off area, I would think "it's good to be home." How many games incite this emotion? Also, this game had graphics and sound (speech!) WAY before many others, and you DIDN'T need a sound card! Also, this was the first game I beat 100% on my own...no hints, no walkthroughs, nothing.

And to be honest regardless of future mishaps, this particular title was well ahead of it's time in terms of gameplay, technology and design.</p> <p>Unlike other detective-themed adventure games that are nothing but that (meaning an adventure game that just so happens to involve a private detective "noir" storyline and characters) Mean Streets's gameplay is indeed designed as a detective fiction. By that I mean that gameplay doesn't revolve around you solving puzzles and mindlessly adding items to your inventory, instead the main objective is for you to follow contacts and evidence that lead you to other contacts and evidence and so on.</p> <p>The basic idea is that you go to a contact (obtained via a plot-related event such as the starting suicide investigation) and you drill the character you find there for all the info you can think of via a text prompt. If you are lucky, said character will give you the location of another contact, which can turn out to be either another character you can drill for more info or a location you can freely explore. In the case you get a location, the game switches to the classic 3rd person perspective sideview in which you maneuver your character around and search for clues, evidence, etc. trying to find something that makes heads or tails of the complex plot you seem to have been drawn into.</p> <p>But Mean Streets doesn't stop there. Proving to be quite ahead of it's day in terms of design, the game added a semi-freeform gameworld. Remember those contacts? Well, sometimes they won't be able to give you the exact location of someone, and your trusty secretary probably won't be able to get it either. In those cases bribing someone or paying your informant Lee Chin might get the job done, and that's when the options start to open as you have to find a way to come up with the cash.</p> <p>Basically you can skulk around the contact locations and steal stuff that isn't pertinent to the investigation (nice going Tex!!) but doing so risks setting off security devices that can kill you or call the police, thus most of the time you have to race against a real-time timer to find and deactivate these safeguards. Should you not want to be such a rotten thief you can choose to fly over to bounty-hunting zones and take on some of the baddies there for some reward cash.</p> <p>This brings me to the retro-futuristic, Blade-Runnerish gameworld you play in, in which the environment is completely polluted, megacorporations rule the earth, mutations are becoming a daily occurrence and flying cars are a reality. Man I love those optimist cyberpunk universes... Anyway, as I mentioned, there are flying cars. Flying cars like the one you own, and which allows you to take to the skies in a crude but effective polygonal flight sim of it's own which is your means of transportation from contact to contact. Times are hard however, so you'd better keep an eye on that car of yours as you'll cross paths sooner or later with the many criminals, mutants or fanatic cops that skulk around in the city. Fighting these bozos takes you to 2D side-scrolling arcade sequences (think Rise of the Dragon but much faster and easier) in which you have to get to the end of the current area without being gunned down.</p> <p>As it becomes obvious, Mean Streets offers much more depth and variety in gameplay than your average adventure game, but wait! It doesn't stop there! Access somehow managed to jam digitized graphics and voices (using their infamous "RealSound" trick) into a 1989 game, which made it a veritable quantum leap in terms of technology in it's day. Truly amazing.<br><br><strong>The Bad</strong><br>The interface is kinda clunky, as it's keyboard only and has some strange annoyances, such as requiring you to spell complete names when interrogating, that only slow the pace of the game. The plot, while following the classic "Noir" guidelines of a "down-on-his-luck private eye that gets a case from a hot babe that turns out to be much more" is nice and all, but I think it could have been better wrapped up and ends up being quite boring by the end. Plus the gameplay in retrospect boils down to a dot-connecting exercise in which you go to Mr.A and ask him for Mr.B, then go to Mr.B and ask him for Mr.C and so on... and in the latter half of the game things turn towards a stupid citywide key-hunt which doesn't help matters...</p> <p>Finally, while the polygonal flying-sim part is interesting, it's completely redundant in the game as you can just punch in your coordinates and travel automatically to the next destination. Problem is this auto-pilot doesn't warp you to the selected place as you would hope to, but instead makes the entire flight to the next area... And some of those contacts are REALLY far apart, which leaves you basically with the gaming equivalent of "commercial breaks" in which you can go to the fridge and get yourself a beer or coke, wait around for 5 minutes or so and then return to the game...<br><br><strong>The Bottom Line</strong><br>Despite a dated interface, some design mishaps and a lackluster plot, Means Streets is an excellent game way ahead of it's time and still an interesting play to this day. My biggest complaint is with those damn useless flying sequences that take away too much time and seem to be there just to annoy the crap out of you, but otherwise this is a definitive recommendation.</p> </div> <toggle-long-text element-id="review-2" :small-text="true"></toggle-long-text> <rate-review csrf-token="48e79dc7-13db-4faf-9820-a3946998a3bf" :authenticated="false" action-url="/ajax/review-helpful/" login-url="/user/login/" :review-id="2491933" :initial-values="{ score: -1, num_helpful: 3, num_votes: 3 }"> </rate-review> <p class="text-sm mt mb-0"> DOS · by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/user/3250/zovni/">Zovni</a> (10502) · <span title="Mar 22, 2005">2005</span> </p> </div><div class="border mb"> <p> <b><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/221/mean-streets/user-review/2636633/">A very good entry to the Tex Murphy series, complete with some humor thrown in for good measure</a></b> <span class="stars stars-sm" style="--rating: 4" data-tooltip="4 stars"></span><br> </p> <div class="text-sm toggle-text-review toggle-long-text text-break-word" id="review-3"> <p><strong>The Good</strong><br>The Tex Murphy series is proven quite popular with the many people who enjoy detective fiction. Ask the majority of fans what their first Tex game was, and chances are they will say <i><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/under-a-killing-moon">Under a Killing Moon</a></i>, the first game that heralded the introduction of full-motion video to the series. But what the majority of Tex Murphy fans do not know is that the series goes way back with <i>Mean Streets</i>, a game that is classed as an “interactive detective movie”, and a game that is overlooked to this day. Furthermore, the Kickstarter trailer for Tesla Effect did not mention <i>Mean Streets</i> or <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/222/martian-memorandum/">its sequel</a>.</p> <p>Inside the box (the front cover is reminiscent to the poster for “Blade Runner”), you have the manual and the three game disks. You will have to refer to the manual for the copy protection, the usual “enter word x in line y on page z” kind of stuff. There are also some papers, including a quick start guide, a map of California (showing the state's suburbs as well as its landmarks), and two copies of the “Detective Information Charts”, one of them filled with information and the other one blank. The former is what you'll use to help you get started in the case.<br> <br> Tex's first case is an interesting one. Sylvia Linsky, the daughter of a well-liked scientist who took his own life on top of the Golden Gate Bridge. She went to the police, who claim that it was a suicide. Sylvia is not convinced that it's suicide and hires Tex to uncover the truth. Vanessa, his secretary, gives him a newspaper article about the death, as well as a few leads to help him get started.</p> <p>The very first thing that I saw the inside of Tex's speeder, a type of transport invented to make traveling easier for people and what we may be using when 2033 finally ticks over. The speeder is used for traveling between locations, and this adds realism to the game. After you punch in the co-ordinates, you can manually control the speeder as you proceed to your destination while you learn what everything does and explore the sights. But non-flight-sim fans like me can toggle the auto-pilot. The idea is to use auto-pilot only a few times to get a good idea of how everything works, then control the speeder yourself.</p> <p><i>Mean Streets</i> was considered technically superior to what was available at the time. The game supports 256-color VGA graphics, and this was at a time when VGA cards were a rarity. Everything in the game looks detailed, especially the backdrops for the interrogation scenes. Even with the vector graphics (if you're in the speeder), the locations are represented clearly and there isn't too much clutter between the different objects. Characters you meet in the interrogation scenes are not 2-D pieces of art, but rather Access employees, such as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Chris+Jones">Chris Jones</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/10374/douglas-vandegrift/">Doug Vandegrift</a>, were digitized in the game. People who couldn't afford to buy a VGA card could run the game in CGA, EGA, or Hercules, but the graphics didn't very good. </p> <p>Another innovation was the use of RealSound, which provides high-quality sound through the PC Speaker without any additional hardware. All you needed was a machine that was capable of running at least 6Mhz and the speaker cable hooked up to an amplifier. Designed by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/1293/steve-witzel/">Steve Witzel</a>, the technology was already featured in <i><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/echelon_">Echelon</a></i>, Access' 3-D flight simulator, and other games made use of it before the introduction of sound cards made RealSound obsolete. The soundtrack sounds amazing; and two of the most important characters, your secretary and informant, actually talk.</p> <p>There is a little bit of humor in the game, especially when you can “threaten” every person you meet, with humorous consequences. More often than not, you are treated with a still shot or two showing Tex getting attacked and a description well-worth reading. You also get to see Chris in his mid-twenties. My favorite person to threaten was Delores Lightbody, Carl's ex-finance. “Threaten” was a nice feature in <i>Mean Streets</i>, and I wish that you could do that in the future Tex Murphy games.</p> <p><br><br><strong>The Bad</strong><br>There are two things that I didn't like in <i>Mean Streets</i>. There are some action sequences in <i>Mean Streets</i> which you are forced to play just before entering apartments. They are difficult even when the game's fight level is set to Easy, and they just ruin the flow of the game.</p> <p>There are also some time-crucial moments near the end of the game, which won't work properly even on a 386. For instance, you have to type in a series of words within a time limit or you will lose the game. Even when I think if I type the word right, the first key wouldn't register and I waste a lot of time re-entering the correct word. <br><br><strong>The Bottom Line</strong><br>Mean Streets is a lovely introduction to the Tex Murphy series, an “interactive detective movie” that is a precursor to FMV-based adventure games. As a private investigator assigned to uncover the truth about Carl Linsky, you spend most of your time interviewing people and searching apartments. As the game progresses, you search for clues that uncover a more, sinister plot. Unique to this game is the use of Tex's speeder to travel between locations. Although there is a lot of time wasted between locations, especially when going from one end of the state to another, this adds realism to the game. Having said that, I wish that you could have the opportunity to control Tex's speeder in future games of the series. </p> <p>The game was ahead of its time due to the use of the VGA graphics and RealSound technology, providing detailed graphics digitized speech (an element which is used a lot in <i>Martian Memorandum</i>). In 1989, the minimum requirements for <i>Mean Streets</i> was a 8088/8086 processor, which you might as well run the game on since you may have timer-related issues near the end.</p> </div> <toggle-long-text element-id="review-3" :small-text="true"></toggle-long-text> <rate-review csrf-token="48e79dc7-13db-4faf-9820-a3946998a3bf" :authenticated="false" action-url="/ajax/review-helpful/" login-url="/user/login/" :review-id="2636633" :initial-values="{ score: -1, num_helpful: 4, num_votes: 4 }"> </rate-review> <p class="text-sm mt mb-0"> DOS · by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/user/7471/katakis-カタキス/">Katakis | カタキス</a> (43086) · <span title="Oct 2, 2015">2015</span> </p> </div> <p> [ <a href="/game/221/mean-streets/reviews/">View all 4 player reviews</a> ] </p> </section> </div> <section id="discussion"> <h2><a href="/forum/game/221/mean-streets/">Discussion</a></h2> <table class="table table-hover"> <thead> <tr> <th>Subject</th> <th>By</th> <th>Date</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/forum/game/221/thread/234056/c64-mean-streets-us-gold-box/">C64 Mean Streets US Gold Box</a></td> <td><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/user/280162/arcachnar/">Edwin Drost</a> (10338)</td> <td>Jan 31, 2017</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </section><section id="gameTrivia"> <h2>Trivia </h2> <div id="trivia-text" class="text-break-word shrink-headings toggle-long-text"> <h3>Cover art</h3> <p>The US box art bears a striking resemblance to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_Runner" rel="nofollow">Blade Runner</a>'s original theatrical poster.</p> <h3>Graphics</h3> <p><em>Mean Streets</em> was the world's first popular PC game to fully support VGA graphics. Not content to stop there, it was also the world's first PC game to <em>also</em> support EGA, CGA, and Hercules graphics modes with real-time quantization and dithering. ("Real-time references the fact that they didn't include pre-converted graphics, which would have taken up twice the disk space, but rather they converted each graphic as it was loaded to fit the graphics mode being used.) Most games that supported VGA didn't support any lower standard at all because it was considered too difficult to convert graphics utilizing 256 colors down to 16 or even 4 for EGA or CGA.</p> <h3>Music</h3> <p>The <em>Mean Streets</em> intro music is also used in a TV commercial. Access plagarised music in the past; see the trivia for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/trivia/gameId=442/">Crime Wave</a> for another example.</p> <h3>Remake</h3> <p>In 1998, Access released <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1455/tex-murphy-overseer/">Overseer</a> which is a remake of <em>Mean Streets</em>.</p> <h3>References</h3> <p>There are many references to TV shows and movies in <em>Mean Streets</em>. For example, turn on the TV in Ron Morgon's Cabin and the sound resembles <em>Star Trek</em>. The robot in Cal Davis's Secret Lab is a reference to <em>Lost In Space</em>. The scene where you meet Larry Hammond is a spoof of a joke in <em>The Bob Newhart Show</em>. Also, the president is called Michael J. Fox, and a final joke refers to the first <em>Back to the Future</em> film he starred in.</p> <h3>Awards</h3> <ul> <li>Computer Gaming World<ul> <li>November 1996 (15th anniversary issue) – #139 in the “150 Best Games of All Time” list</li> </ul> </li> <li>ST Format<ul> <li>Issue 01/1991 – #4 Best Adventure Game in 1990</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>Information also contributed by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/user/sheet/userSheetId,48733/">Blood</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/user/sheet/userSheetId,3819/">Brolin Empey</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/user/sheet/userSheetId,33/">hydra9</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/user/sheet/userSheetId,60795/">Ricky Derocher</a></p> </div> <toggle-long-text element-id="trivia-text"></toggle-long-text> </section> <section id="analytics"> <h2>Analytics</h2><div class="position-relative border border-mobypro bg-mobypro pt-xxl mb" data-nosnippet> <a href="/mobypro/" class="mobypro">MobyPro <sup class="text-upper text-success">Early Access</sup></a> <p class="mb-0"> Upgrade to <a href="/mobypro/">MobyPro</a> to view research rankings and price history!
