    This game is best described as an RPG game, very similiar to Broken Sword. It is a PC game from around 1997-9 and is of a futuristic variety.

    The main character is a bald American twat of a detective who has to solve a number of mysteries.

    I'd appreciate if someone could help jog my memory on this one. :pac:

    It may be the same genre, but it is not the game I'm looking for.

    Surely someone on here knows? :confused:

    Is it a point and click where you see your character on the screen or an FPS point and click?

    If its a first person adventure it may be Under a Killing Moon or any of the Tex Murphy games. All fantastic
