Full Throttle 1995

Is it still worth playing?

LucasArts' 1995 point and click adventure, set in the near future, in which Ben, leader of a motorcycle gang, is framed for the murder of a motorcycle mogul and has to clear his name. Its interface is small. You click to move Ben, objects you can use are highlighted by the cursor, and a pie menu shaped like the gang's emblem offers speak, examine, and pick up, use or pull. Right clicking opens the inventory, where items can be examined and dragged onto other items or objects in the scene. Beyond the menu, talking matters as much, with several responses to choose from in each dialogue. Between scenes, exits are used on foot or by motorbike, and there are motorcycle action sequences against rival gangs. One menu for every action, and dialogue where you pick the answer, still keep the adventure easy to get into today.
