Run it through ScummVM. It's an emulator for the Scumm scripting system, which was used in all of LEC's adventure games from Maniac Mansion to Curse of Monkey Island. It also supports the first two Broken Sword games, Beneath a Steel Sky, Simon the Sorceror, and a few others.

There is a readme file (or whatever) included with Scummvm, just read it to see if a game is supported.

Yes, Full Throttle is one of the games ScummVM was originally designed to support. It can most definitely be used with it.

Says its supported??? Has anyone else run Full Throttle with scumm yet?? Or know what the problem is? Is there a special command or something I need to type in dos mode before starting??? I don't know, but surely someone has run Full Throttle with scumm if they say its supported...
$:-\$

I have personally played all the way through Full Throttle with ScummVM. Are you pointing it to the game's resource directory? You can't just point it to the directory it installs to on your hard drive, since that doesn't contain any of the game's resources (sound, graphics, etc.), just the executable and save game information. In my case I pointed it to D:/RESOURCE, it's probably the same for you.

nevermind, I just restarted and its working now... Why can't I use the gui though??? I think you used to beable to push enter and would pop up with the gui, with scumm I can't use the gui?? Do I have to use the e t p k keys??

Dude, what's with the ??s all the time?
One question mark is enough.

Regarding ScummVM, you know that holding down the left mouse button brings up the verb coin?

Yeah, thats what I thought.

Gilbert · Mon 19/04/2004 08:58:51

What's the problem? people were just trying to help you.

remixor · Mon 19/04/2004 08:59:02

Calm down, man.

Gfunkera · Mon 19/04/2004 09:00:11

sorry, but why do people always gotta ruin my threads with that bs! too many question marks? Come on damn

* cracks open another beer

remixor · Mon 19/04/2004 09:03:06

He didn't ruin your thread, he offered a suggestion for using the verb coin and mentioned that you only need one question mark per question. You don't have to follow both pieces of advice, but I'm sure he wasn't trying to be a jerk.
