YOUR NAME IS TEX MURPHY, A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR IN SAN FRANCISCO. THE YEAR IS 2033 AND YOU'VE JUST BEEN HIRED BY A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY NAMED SYLVIA TO INVESTIGATE THE DEATH OF HER FATHER, DR. CARL LINSKY. DR. LINSKY WAS A PROMINENT PROFESSOR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SAN FRANCISCO AND HAD BEEN WORKING ON A SECRET PROJECT. SYLVIA HAD ASKED HIM ABOUT HIS WORK SEVERAL TIMES, BUT HE WOULD NOT TALK ABOUT IT. THEN A FEW DAYS AGO HE JUMPED (OR WAS PUSHED) FROM THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE. THE POLICE ARE SURE IT WAS A ROUTINE SUICIDE, BUT SYLVIA THINKS IT WAS MURDER.
YOU'RE JOB IS TO SOLVE THE CASE. YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN $10,000 CASH BY YOUR CLIENT, AND YOU HAVE 5 LEADS.
PLEASE REFER TO THE "GETTING STARTED" SECTION OF THE MANUAL FOR A LIST OF YOUR LEADS AND SOME IMPORTANT SUGGESTIONS. BE SURE TO WRITE THINGS DOWN, AND BE CAREFUL TO SPELL CORRECTLY. WHEN QUESTIONING SUSPECTS, USE PEOPLE'S FULL NAMES.
