While at Access Chris was a Financial executive, and worked on various software titles, including Amazon: Guardians of Eden, Countdown, various incarnations of the Links golf franchise, and others. He is best known for the Tex Murphy series which he helped to create and portrayed the title character of, later further developing the character with Aaron Conners.
