Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure Hints

How do I get started on my investigation?

  • 1 of 6: After you explore Tex's apartment for giggles and points --
  • 2 of 6: -- pick up the fax from Archie and go outside. (Archie won't be around until Day 3, so just explore the neighborhood for now.)
  • 3 of 6: Tex comments on the broken window above the Electronics Shop, so that looks like a good place to start the investigation.
  • 4 of 6: Under the broken window, you'll find gun casings, a surveillance photo of Tex, a blue tennis shoe, and an article about Tesla. Click on that broken window again to get Tex's summary of the situation --
  • 5 of 6: -- and that's all you can do until you find out more. Let's go talk to some people.
  • 6 of 6: Louie's Brew & Stew is the only place open on the street right now, and Louie has always been a good friend, so let's start there.
