What our customer's say!

"Really well made game. Really stable environment", Consistent play with sensible logic challenges. Fun story line. A bit of aggressive behavior would have been nice.

"great inexpensive game", I'm afraid I must disagree with a previous review concerning this being an expensive, hard to find game. I found a copy of this game in the thrift store and it was marked "not for individual sale" and it worked perfectly. And at an under $20 price tag on amazon, this doesn't seem to be too expensive. It runs awesome on my windows 98 PC (although I have not tried it on my XP). Don't let anybody scare you out of buying this title. It's good fun!

"A Must-Have for Tim Schafer Fans",

A prelude to the greatest PC game ever released, Grim Fandango.

Full Throttle is a piece of the Tim Schafer puzzle. He creates a world that commands our attention, and delights us with humor that allows us to escape our ordinary lives.

While the game is dated, it is also next to impossible to find. This is a game for Tim Schafer fans and collectors.

Therefore, this my review of a recently purchased "new" copy from Amazon. The Amazon seller broke up a Lucas Arts collection set, and sold me one of the discs from the 3rd volume. The "Full Throttle" game was paired with "Dark Forces" from Star Wars, while the installation for both games was on another disc (unsent) from the set.

The disc was clearly marked, in large type "Not For Individual Sale". I notified Lucas, and they identified the disc and confirmed that the disc sold to me was from their 3rd classic collection and that the game installation was on another disc from that particular set. The seller described the disc as a jewel case cardboard sleeve sealed by the manufacturer.

I notified Amazon, they refunded my money. Amazon is wonderful.

But the 96% approval rated seller is selling the same individual disks from the same sets, without the installation disk...still here at Amazon, two months later.


Full Throttle is a collector's item and very hard to find in new condition. There was an updated version released in Europe/England in 2002, and it is now considered next to impossible to find, especially for us here in the USA.

Be very careful about a "reasonable purchase" or even an unreasonable purchase of this game. The Vultures are circling around it. Be careful.

The game is a Windows 95', XP players can limp along with XP's "Compatibility Mode" for Windows 95', or follow one of the many work arounds offered by fans at various websites.

I don't know what happened between Lucas Arts and Tim Schafer, but it appears even though there is a market for the Lucas games by Schafer, Lucas is not going to update the games' platform, nor produce any more to sell.

At this point in time, January 03, 2006, this is not a casual game to buy. It is rare and expensive. If you are a purchasing a copy for a reasonable amount, more than likely you are not purchasing a valid playable copy.

I would hate to unfairly target other sellers at Amazon for this game, but unless you can verify the game's authenticity, don't buy it.

Only buy this game if you are a fan and want the evolutionary works of the wildest and smartest game developer in history.

"A CLASSIC", Full throattle is one of the BEST games i ever played the only problem with it is that is ends very fast 5 hours more or less but if you like adventures THIS is the game for you.

The characters are great , the dialog either , the chat's between maurie and the protagonist are simply hilarious ^^

5 star to this product and 10 stars to LUCASARTS ^^

"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!

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Short, but exhilarating", The funny quips, the no-nonsense attitude...if this game were longer, I'd say this was one of the best LucasArts put out there. Unfortunately, it's a quick run-through, and only offers enough to want seconds. The music fits the mood perfectly, and the controls are obvious and intuitive. The puzzles aren't that hard, but it's a great game for young adolescent males. Hopefully none of the humor is lost on 'em, 'cause it's one of the better, more mature Lucas titles.

"Great game", This game is, quite possibly my fifth favorite game (next to the monkey island series, of course!) LucasArts are in my opinion the best adventure game creators on the market. This game is very similar to Monkey Island or Grim Fandango (in fact its made by the same person who created Grim Fandango I believe). I enjoyed playing this game so much, that I was devastated when I lost it. There are days when you can find me rummaging through my basement trying to find that jewel case. But that's not the point. This game has excellent controls (point & click interface and an inventory for all the items that you may find useful along the way. This game is tremendously long the first time through if you do not use any walkthroughs or tips. It can get slightly tiring when you find yourself walking back and forth searching for a person or object that you may have missed before. Even if you do use walkthroughs, the game is a satisfying experience. I have beaten it at least 4 times, and each time it is still as good as the first, mainly because you can still experience the thourough storyline that Full Throttle delivers.

I have not decided whether I should buy this game again, and I think I might wait until Full Throttle 2 comes out to consider it. All in all, a great adventure game with hours of endless fun. Quite an experience.

"Fun, but very dated", I enjoyed this game quite a bit -- good story line and characters, mostly logical puzzles, with a bit of "action" thown in for good measure. Figure on no more than two or three evenings, though -- it goes very fast (good thing it's inexpensive).

However, the game was made back in 1995 and in computer software years, that's the stone age. Despite the fact that the game now boasts that it's for Windows, it's really just the old Dos-based game with clunky graphics and outdated interface. I ran it on my Windows ME and it ran okay except for some intermittant sound card problems. <... play it and, if nothing else, you'll really appreciate today's gaming technology!

"Good Game", Ok, I got this game free with a then new computer. Anyway, this game is actually pretty fun. The graphics are ok, and the gameplay is pretty good. There's a level where your riding around on your bike, and you pull up to people and beat them up using various weapons you've picked up. Overall great game, however LucasArts is currently making a Full Throttle 2, so, do whatever. Fork out the 10 bucks and get the new game also, you won't be disappointed.

"Not too full", Here's another one of those old classics that still seems to be available to this day. Are you familiar with any kind of Lucas Arts adventure game? They were a point-and-click interface where players commanded a character where to go, what to pick up, what to use on what, and what to say to other characters. All this was accomplished through several puzzles to advance the generally appealing storyline. Full Throttle, consequently, is about a biker in conquest to clear his name. This game shifts from seriousness to slapstick, but it's all very... VERY entertaining and engaging! I admit, I admit, I never beat Full Throttle. But I can guarantee this much: once you *do* beat it, that's it. It's over. Why would you want to go back and solve all the puzzles your brain remembers the solutions to instantly? However, forget I said that. It was these kind of adventure games that made computer gaming what it is today. Lick it up... and like it.
