IT WAS A SPACECRAFT!

Just got a heads-up from the fine folks over at Good Old Games that they're running a 30% off weekend deal all titles in the Tex Murphy series. I haven't played any of them probably since they came out, so I can't speak to how well they've aged, but I may pick up the Pandora Directive (easily the best of the series) again just to see how they hold up.
Even thought here is a substantial amount of FMV in the three later gamers, billing them as "interactive movies" was probably a misstep, because that particular phrase has not come to invoke positive thoughts. They are very much adventure games, with the majority of the gameplay having you roam around through fully-rendered environments in first-person.
But you'd never know that from the trailer:
