5.0 out of 5 stars THE MOST >HELPFUL< REVIEW YOU'LL EVER READ!

Full Throttle is a point and click figure-it-out mystery game where you play as Ben Throttle, a rough, tough and surprisingly smart leader of the Polecats Biker Gang. While the game is short for those who have played it through, it's a fun cartoony ride with plenty of memorable characters ranging from crazy rich guys to two-wheeled nut jobs, and the voice acting is surprisingly well considering the game is going on it's 20th birthday. You'll hear the raspy squeal of Malcolm Corley and the quiet, sadistic tone of Adrian Ripburger along with one of the BEST soundtracks in a game. All in all, it's well worth the money I paid to play an early windows game this good.

Now to the technical stuff you'll need to know. As you've probably guessed a nearly 20yr old game just might have a problem keeping up with modern computers. You're right. No shock there. Here's what you do...

For starters, the game uses an old video game engine very specific to these point and click games released in the 90's. Go find a video game engine called ScummVM. Install the latest version and fire this badboy up! No worries about viruses and malware, ok?

Next, Insert your Full Throttle cd-rom or mount your .iso and copy ALL files into a folder on your desktop into a new folder called "Full Throttle". Now, go to your C drive and find "Program Files" and cut and paste the "Full Throttle" file right there. Be SURE to keep the "ScummVM" prompt open.

Now, looking at the "ScummVM" prompt, click where it says "Add Game" and in the little window that changes find where it says "RESOURCE' in the C:\full_throttle\. Now simply click the 'choose' button and the game is at least playable!

Finally, a new tab will open. To play full screen go to the graphics tab and be sure to click 'override global graphic settings' and check the 'full screen mode'. Lastly, keep in mind these old games were made with a 4:3 aspect-ratio, so if in fact you are using a wide monitor, you should check the "Aspect ratio correction' option to make her look nice and pretty like Ben's bike!

Simply save the changes and get ready for one of the greatest adventure games ever to begin!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Classic...With a Few Wrinkles!

I remember playing this game so long ago when it first came out 10 years ago. I loved the story, the hard-rock music, the sarcastic LucasArts humor, and the interactivity of the puzzles. Yes, this is a simple point-and-click adventure, but while the process is simple...the way the game unfolds and presents the resulting cutscenes is very impressive. "Full Throttle" is more of an interactive movie than an actual game, but that's actually a compliment, because "interactive movies" don't get much better.

So why not a 5-Star rating? Well, this game is simply too short, and over before WAY before you might want. Games didn't have the 10-hour length of today's titles back then, but there were ones longer than this 5-hour adventure back in the day, too...including LucasArts' own "Star Wars" games! If you don't use a guide, the puzzles can be pretty head-scratching. But like all puzzle games, the second time around just isn't the same, because the solutions don't change. For a low price of 10 bucks or lower, you will have a blast the first time through. The second time around, you'll enjoy the story...but when you can finish it in 3 hours instead of 5, the suspense feels rushed...all because you've passed the test once.

My love for "Full Throttle" isn't only nostalgic --- I had the same criticisms 10 years ago. However, I still have the same praise I had in 1995, too. I highly recommend "Full Throttle" to any gamer, but just be aware of its short length before you buy it.

ROCK ON! GAME ON!

Without a doubt, Full Throttle is one of the greatest adventure games I've ever played for all the reasons listed by other reviewers. The major bone I have to pick with this edition is that it has *not* been modified to use DirectX and as such it will almost certainly cause problems for anyone who's not using a sound card that's 100% compatible with the old Sound Blaster / SB16 / AWE32 cards (newer cards like the SBLive! and SB Audigy are *NOT* 100% compatible!). If none of that jargon makes sense to you, then let me put it this way: if you are an average user putting the CD in your system, the likelihood that this game will not work "as-is / out-of-the-box" is high. Your best bet to get this thing running is to go buy an ancient 486 computer and load the antiquated Windows 3.1 / MS-DOS on it to play some of the classic DOS games.

Happened to come across this game after I purchased Day of the Tentacle. Oh the good 'ole days when LucasArts still made great products.

As another reviewer states, you need to use scummvm to run this game properly but I had to do a little more research as to which files needed to be transferred for Full Throttle onto scummvm. It took more than just copying and pasting all files, there are specific DATA and VIDEO files which need to be copied into a folder and into Program Files, then played through scummvm. If you search for which files are needed for Full Throttle, you will easily find a forum which lists the correct files. If you want a specific site, I can direct you to it, just ask.

The game works perfectly running through scummvm, and if you get stuck, there are walkthroughs.
