Probably one of the best videogames of my childhood. Yep, it is a pc game, released in 1995, developed by LucasArts. The art (man, those pixels have nothing to envy from 3D games, seriously), the characters, the funny bits of dialogue ... it's just simply epic.
The gameplay resembles that of Monkey Island, that's to say a point-and-click interface.
Now with the formal description:
The story is set in a dystopian future where motorized vehicles are giving way to anti-gravitational hovercrafts. A hardened biker named Ben is the leader of a motorcycle gang called the Polecats. Riding down Highway 9, they come across an expensive white hovercraft limousine. Ben unceremoniously drives over the limousine, crushing its hood ornament. Inside the limo is Malcolm Corley, CEO and founder of the last domestic motorcycle manufacturer in the country, Corley Motors. Intrigued and impressed, Corley demands his driver catch up to the gang.Players view the protagonist, in third-person: Ben, leader of the Polecats, one of the toughest and meanest biker gangs on the road. You were just having a bit of good clean fun at the Kickstand bar when old man Corley, owner of Corley Motors, dropped by for a bit of reminiscing. Next thing you know, you wake up in a dumpster, someone tells you about an ambush (of your Polecats?) and you got mixed up in the greatest adventure of your lifetime...
In Full Throttle, you direct a character around a 2-D screen and solve a few puzzles along the way. There are a few action sequences. The graphics are cartoon-style, similarly to LucasArts' previous adventure games.
Dialogue plays a large part in the game, during which story elements and information necessary to advance are presented. Several choices of
dialogue are presented in certain situations, allowing players to choose the path of conversation and ultimately advance the scene by selecting the right choice of words.
Here is some kind of trailer along with the first couple of minutes of the actual gameplay where you begin the adventure:
(the song played in the begining it's from the game's intro-"Legacy by The Gone Jackals")
Since it's too old I don't thing you'll just get it everywhere (maybe some classic pc game store? ), but here's some Amazon thingy that might help:
