My Message to Access Software

Dear Access Software,
   When dealing with a medium as new as Interactive Movie Production, it is understandable that the length of time to create such an event is undeterminable and that the market for such a product is uncertain.
     I understand that you must enjoy your creation of Tex Murphy more than any fan ever could possibly understand.
     However, ending the series with such a climatic ending without any set dates to create the sequels was a drastic decision, and, from a fan's point of view, just plain MEAN.
     Thank you for providing me with such a memorable, entertaining experience. Access is the greatest game company in existence; always on the cutting edge of technology. In fact, we've had to upgrade our computer every time the latest Tex Murphy game came out just to keep up (it was so worth it!). If only more people knew about you...
     If only you could re-release the first three interactive movie games on Playstation II, which is capable of handling interactive movies. This medium would draw an audience that craves adventure games and thinks that Resident Evil and Final Fantasy are the latest in game technology. It would create new interest in the Tex Murphy series, thus increasing the demand for the next two sequels.
     Tex will always have a place close to my heart. Thank you for everything.
     Sincerely,
          Cyndi V

My Message, Revised

Dear Microsoft,
     Thank you for purchasing Access Software, a company that is always on the cutting edge of technology. While it is known for its wonderful golf games, Access is also a leading company in the field of Interactive Movie Production.
     I understand that Microsoft is in the process of creating a game system intended to give competition to Sony and Nintendo. The Playstation II will be equiped to handle Interactive Movies to target the large market of youth craving adventure software. Tex Murphy may be the latest in interactive movie games, riding the wave of your new Microsoft independent game system as a re-released series.
     Sincerely,
          Cyndi V
