There's at last an actual official trailer for the new Tex Murphy game, Tesla Effect. It's lots and lots and lots of FMV hammy acting, which is EXACTLY RIGHT. Hammier than a four hundred mile high pig that's exploded over a city. Perfect.

I can only imagine how utterly mad and anachronistic this must look to someone who wasn't old enough/alive in the mid 90s. And yet to my addled brain the cheese is a nostalgic joy, one I can't wait to get my hands on.

Having raised just shy of $600,000 (of a $450,000 goal) during the Great Kickstarter Goldrush of 2012, they'd rather optimistically set themselves a December 2012 deadline. While there's still no release date attached, it's looking more likely to be December 2013.
