Full Throttle

Super Neo · Sat 19/02/2005 10:42:09

Has anyone heard of or played this LucasArts 90's adventure game called "Full Throttle?". I recentley bought it! It wasn't the classic 1990's edition, it was the LucasArts classics edition (obviously). Incase you haven't played it, it's a game about a biker who's pals are led to an ambush. After the first 30 minutes of the game, the president of "Corley Motors" is killed.

The game has a really complicated storyline, so I can't explain everything that happens in the story. I've only got as far as getting across the blown up bridge near the mine road.

If anyone has/used to have the game, just post here.

I'm guessing that majority of the forum members played that game. IMO, one of the greatest adventure games ever made. But then most Lucas Arts adventures fit in that category aswell.

But imagine everyone posting something about the game they just got. I suggest visiting the Popular threads board for that kind of stuff.

Oh, and welcome to the forums.

Awesome game, I don't listen to those who say it was too short. Â¬Â¬

Who wouldn't have played or atleast heard of it?

I've got the LucasArts Classics edition of Full Throttle... and of The Dig also. FT's a great game. I like it very much, I should actually play it again sometime soon...

How so?

whenever I see asphalt, I think of Full Throttle.

You know, me and the bad guy have the same name. PWNAGE!

To be honest, I haven't finished it yet.

I borrowed it from a friend, and gave up for a while at the car crash derby. I returned it, and haven't played it since. Oh well, now I have something to look forward to later!

Definitely a nice game, even though it's too short and easy.

...and has couple of irritating puzzles. But hey, at least it's much better than The Dig.

Super Neo · Sat 19/02/2005 21:51:52

HillBilly, here's a guide to the car crash thingy.
I completed the game, this afternoon
1. Have the brown car chase after you
2. Drive off the ramp on the left side of the derby
3. You should land on the brown car, destroying it. If that doesn't happen, keep trying.
4. Keep ramming the brown car to the ramp on the right side of the derby and ram it off the edge of the ramp
5. Then drive off that ramp, and you should bounce off the brown car and land of the blue car, then watch the cutscene!

Yeah, that was my plan, and I would've tried it now, if I still had the game.

I love this game. I especially liked the great voice acting for characters like the reporter Miranda (done by well-known voice actor Pat Musick) and Ben Corley(done by, if I'm right, Mark
Hammil). Awesome game!!!

Privateer Puddin' · Sat 19/02/2005 22:59:11

Bens last name isn't Corley. His voice was done by Roy Conrad.

According to imdb, Mark Hammill did -

Corley Motors Vice President Adrian 'Rip' Ripburger/Emmet/Todd Newlan, Owner of Todd's Junkyard (voice)

Man, why is it at every single Adventure Game Forum I go to, eveyrone's gotta be hatin' on The Dig, haha. I personally think it's an amazing adventure, and still remains one of my top favorites.

Anyway, back on topic, yes Full Throttle is an amazing game. Call me a traitor, but I love the "Action Sequences". Trying to figure out how to get those goggles... Man, those were good times.

MrColossal · Sun 20/02/2005 02:48:38

Well, BersekerTails, it's quite simple why people hate The Dig... It sucks.

Does that clear everything up now?

sedriss · Sun 20/02/2005 02:57:23

you gotta love the bunny puzzle.

Mr_Frisby · Sun 20/02/2005 05:52:25

Avast - you land lubber Colossal - I wont hear a bad word said about the dig and so I squeeze lemon juice in the general direction of your eye.

Super Neo · Sun 20/02/2005 10:23:50

Yeah... the bunny puzzle was kinda mean! I mean you blew up poor bunnies all the time!

Anyway.. the souveneir stall owner's speech

"Buy these cute little bunnies and your kids will shut up on the long drive home!"

That did make me giggle a bit

Mats Berglinn · Sun 20/02/2005 11:22:51

I really like Full Throttle too. The bikefights at the Old Mine Road are my favorite. I alos like the hard rock songs plus the song you can listen to while around Todd's trailer (you know the one that, "My momma's face has dripped down into the dirt, but I'm still chasin' chitlens, whiskey and skirt").

The dog puzzle at the junkyard was a very though one and it took me hours to come up with the solution.

Mr. Colossal: Hey, not everyone disliked the Dig. I like the Dig but sure Full Throttle is more fun than the Dig.

Super Neo: I didn't think it was mean blowing up the bunnies. They were just toys, it would been mean IF they were real bunnies.

cpage · Sun 20/02/2005 13:41:21

I have both of my original release copys of the dig and full throttle sitting next to me EVERYDAY!!
FT was my favorite game for a while (until i replayed MI) It was a great game. I always think about that junkyard everytime i hear the name.

and the dig didnt suck..... dont ruin my happy world!
