Yet it wasn’t just a retread of what had come before. One of the two games they released that year, Day of the Tentacle, was the veritable Platonic ideal of a cartoon-comedy graphic adventure the other, Sam and Max Hit the Road, was merely very, very good.įollowing a quiet 1994 on the adventure front, LucasArts came roaring back in the spring of 1995 with Full Throttle, a game that seemed to have everything going for it: it was helmed by Tim Schafer, one of the two lead designers from Day of the Tentacle, and boasted many familiar names on the art and sound front as well. The game really excels in picking old-school biker music by the Gone Jackals.The adventure makers at LucasArts had a banner 1993. You can toggle back to the old version for nostalgia. This is a great mixture of action and puzzler and the new remaster makes the graphics much smoother for HD screens. You’re an ass-kicking outlaw, fighting with chains against other bikers in a Mad-Max style rampage, yet there’s also a huge amount of dry wit and clever humour, as you must use your mind to progress. Bikers, battles and big laughsįull Throttle Remastered follows the adventures of Ben Throttle, a biker gang leader in a future setting where bikes are on the out and the last manufacturer now wants to produce (gasp) RVs and sedans instead. Full Throttle Remastered is a chance to revisit that road-hogging biker adventure and let a new generation enjoy it too. Full Throttle is one of those games and while it didn’t have as many fans as the well-known Monkey Island games, it still has a very dedicated cult following.

There was an entire generation of point and click adventures, which were a little ugly and quite basic, but had a huge amount of spirit, atmosphere, humour and wit. Softonic review Hit the road with Full Throttle Remastered
