Full Throttle

This has got to be one of LucasArt's best games. And thats a big call, since it came out circa 1996. Full Throttle is a fantastic little RPG, based on the then-revolutionary, Rebel Assault engine.

Full Throttle is the story of a Biker dude (Ben) - the leader of the Polecat's bikey gang - and his quest to save his gang after they were framed for murder. It has awesome dialogue, great playability and awesome graphics (ok - pretend its 1996).

I managed to find a working copy of it, and have been playing it through again. Unfortunately, it is quite short, but fun while it lasts. The characters are funny, and there are plenty of "blink-and-you'll-miss-it" gags. Also, nice little cross references to Star Wars (it is, afterall, a LucasArts game). These include Rebel and Imperial signs being used as tatoos on incidental characters, a guy who looks suspiciously like George Lucas, and the immortal words spoken to the hero: "Help me Ben, you're my only hope".
