I say you should skip it. Mean Streets is only interesting for historical reasons; it's fun to see where the Tex Murphy series started, and to compare it with Overseer. But apart from that, it's a very average game, with annoying shooting sequences and conversation puzzles* (the flight sim has an autopilot, so at least that's not a problem), and the story is told much, much better in Overseer.

* Though the conversation puzzles are not half as bad as in Martian Memorandum.
