Full Throttle is God Tier 

Yell at me on Discord: discord.com/invite/cfpb5AX

When we were growing up in the 90s, it was normal to trust your neighbours and to not assume every male over the age of 10 is a rapist/molester.

13:38 Todd’s Junkyard? Damn seems like he finally stopped telling lies and was honest with us about the state of BGS.

It's a cliche I know, but "the past was a different time." I know plenty of older people like my Dad and some of his friends who would share games and their rigs, even with relative strangers, sometimes with younger people. It was just normal, like sharing a hobby hoping to get others interested and growing a community. We probably don't see it as much anymore because of several things: stranger danger has probably made people scared to do this, and the internet has moved the communities online. A lot of hobby groups hace gone the way of the dodo since the 90s, and frankly it's sad.

Tim Shafer games are so fucking awesome. Grim Fandango is probably my favorite adventure game of all time tbh

Mark Hammels voice is iconic. He’s just an iconic man. First I saw him in Star Wars as a kid, then listened to him as the Joker with my dad in the batman series

HOLY SHIT. I didn't think ANYONE was going to cover this old gem. Hats off to you Mantis! Thank you for making an old geek smile.

You’re god Tier Mantis

Fun fact: Ben is the brother of Hoagie from LucasArt's "Day of the Tentacle" His full name is Rueben, so their mother named them both after sandwiches.

Sounds like your neighbour was just babysitting, maybe an informal arrangement with your folks to give them some alone time lol

Being 20 years old, if a kid from my neighborhood I knew fairly well wanted to play games at my house and his mom didnt mind I wouldnt mind. Shit I might even charge her for sitting the kid. But yeah basically I would totally let little mantis play Full Throttle on my computer, have fun lil dude.

Im not putting my lips on that.

YESSSSS ! Finally a man of true taste! Played the original as a kid and the HD version recently as a grown man and it's still fantastic!

the Greatest Of All Time. One of the first games I've ever played, it's such a classic.

This and Sam & Max Hit Road were my favourite LucasArts games as a kid. I was too dumb to figure out how to beat Day Of The Tentacle back then, but came back years later and had a blast with it as an adult :)

Damn. Made me remember a forgotten piece of my childhood. Full throttle and Duke nukem 3d give me the craziest nastolgia.

I'm so glad you brought this back up, my whole childhood.

This was the first point and click I played, was on a floppy disc on an old mac, some of the puzzles took me ages as a kid. Really enjoyed playing the remaster recently, soundtrack is amazing too

This game looks so amazing seeing it in HD in this video. I remember playing as a kid I had a shitty ass graphics card and everything was pixelated and blurry haha. Had no idea it was THIS clean.

My cousin got me into Maniac Mansion: Day of the Tentacle. He was in the army and would come visit on his off period at my grandparents and set up his computer. It was the only time i got to play it and I got stuck on the part where you had to get a cat to look like a skunk. I was stuck and had the materials and could never figure out how to get past this part. My cousin was deployed for 4 years and i didn't get to see him this entire time, but i would constantly think about this puzzle. I was sitting in the bath tub 5 or 6 years later and all of a sudden the idea to use the white out on the black cat popped in my mind to make it a skunk and i had to wait till the remaster came out to try it. Still a warm fuzzy feeling about this game and the time i had to wait to beat the game lol.

I was always picky about point and clicks but this game really butters my balls. Definitely deserves more recognition

This game looks amazing, a really awesome story and great graphics for its time. Also great video as always Mantis!

LucasArts should seriously consider making a live-action movie based on this video game! 🎥🎮 The story is 🔥🔥🔥 and Ben is basically god-tier 💯

You can tell it was made in the 90s... Ripburger wants to have Corley Motors make Minivans... if it were made today, Ripburger would want Corley Motors to make SUVs.

Best thing about this game? - Mark Hamill as Adrian Ripburger!

Nice vid like always

WHAT, THIS VIDEO CAME OUT AND I DIDN'T KNOW?

Good video. I'm not normally keen on story recaps but you left enough out for people to discover on their own, hope this helps it get discovered by more people.

wow, less than 200 views in the last 7 minutes? That's pretty harsh.

That was a hell of a ride, Mantis. Amazing video!

For a split second I thought you did a god tier on an energy drink haha

Holy crap! Someone else who remembers this game!!! This is mind blowing 🤯 It is a legendary game and storyline.

Whoa, I’m so glad I saw this video. I absolutely love seeing videos about games like these because they remind me of hidden somewhat hidden gems that aren’t mainstream that are just so good.

What's hilarious is Ben is Tim Schafers self insert.

Point and click adventure games were really a product of their time, not saying their bad or anything, just that you don’t see many anymore.

When I was 11 I saw that opening it was the first time I remember getting “chills” from a piece of media. That opening was just amazing.

"Full Throttle" is one of my absolute favvos of all time. Gos, havent played it for ages but I might as well dust it off now. What a classic it is/was!

Yes, yes it is. I played both full throtle games before and they are my favorite P&C games of all times.

Having just last night prior to writing this comment making Full Throttle Remastered my second game to achievement wise 1000 out of 1000 Gamerscore on with the very first being fellow Double Fine game Psychonauts 2 having be joining Game Pass for not even a full year until this coming fall! I remembered when I was about five or six years old and my dad had the Lucas Arts CD-ROM with the three point and click and action hybrid game demos in Star Wars Rebel Assault, The Dig, and this and I'd watch him play this and we liked it. I had my first full experience with Full Throttle on the remastered version as my current from thirty-one and a half year-old self appreciating the short game with still a great story like this. Nice video btw!

Yes, day of the tentacle absolutely does deserve it’s own video!

One of the best adventure games ever made. Still hold the test of time. I played it at 15 when it released. I still have the copy witch came as a full game with a copy of dark forces. The voice acting and the animation the game play and the commentary on corprate life vrs biker life styling. Thank you Mantis for taking me back in a time machine.

2:42 Had an acquaintance like that, too. No molestation nor weirdness.. apparently just a dude that let kids use his computer for games when he wasn't using it.

I live at 19:44 the truck driver has a star wars tatt

This game brings back so many memories. Back in the 90s where I lived owning a PC was a luxury, so I only knew a few people who had one, and they were usually from well off families. So I used to go to my friend/neighbour to play games just like you (although she was my age lol). Full Throttle and GTA 1 were the first 2 games I ever played on her PC. GTA was fun and all, but Full Throttle really stayed with me for the rest of my life. The incredibly cinematic story, the voice acting was god tier, the animation was so unique but absolutely amazing, and the music was SOOOO unbelievably good and was part of the reason I got into playing guitar as a kid (I still play 25+ years later). I would happily watch a Full Throttle animated series if somebody actually made it with the same animation, same quality acting and music.

Hell yeah bro I was 4 when i played Mario on nes. I don't remember a lot from being that young, but I remember my sister handing me the controller and creating the gamer addict that I am today lol

A beautiful classic. 🤘

I wasn't expecting to like this video as much as I did

nice video

man i loved this game back in the day, cant wait to play it again

Played this gem when I was 5, never figured out how to beat for a while but I think I eventually got it when I was 7 or 8

have you herd of "the dig" same kind of game but just as good

I still have the original PC disc version and it runs smoothly with some mildly annoying setting up and all the cover art is still in one piece.

my older cousin showed me leisure suit Larry

I want this to be a movie now. Imagine mark hammill being a villain

WTB Corley Motors Minivan, PST!

Played through this countless times as a teen

Never heard of this until now. Thank you for adding another game to the list!

Mark hamill (ripburger) is a God tier voice actor

One of my favorite games also if you have dark forces 2 on cd it came as a whole game marked demo.

"was criticized for being short" LOL it took me YEARS to finish, before the internet and with my lacking english skills back then hahaha

Man, RU-vid ads have really gotten out of hand. Earlier I saw an ad about canned water and they were waterboarding a dude and now I just saw one about some weirdo Gobbles-esk scientist advertising a CBD bracelet.

You can throw those toy rabbits into the fan on the truck at the end too. Its fun

have you played Silverload on the PS1? fun horror game that was a great change of pace from the resident evils/silent hills

Hah start liking gaming at young age. My family got me the old DS when I was 10. I had to pay for it too and the games. Eventually saved up for an Xbox and now saving up for a PC.

I honestly have never heard of this game until now, seems really cool! Great vid

I am old enough playing this game. It was awesome.

Damn, what a hidden gem.

Chainsaw was an auto win weapon 😁🤣

This was really a great game at the time....curious if it holds up still after 20 years +

Fuck yes

Never heard of this game before. Looks really cool imma have to check it out. Good vid brah

I do not think it's weird that you played video games in a older guys' apartment. When I lived in Everett I had the same thing a neighbor. He bought a Nintendo 64 and a bunch of games there are plenty of times where I went over there and just played it when he even wasn't home.

Well looks like I got ANOTHER big box to waste money on... sigh lol. I had a friend who had this when we were in high school. Good times. Good game also. Yup got the special edition on Vita.

Huh where do I get this game? I wanna play it now

I FUCKING LOVE FULL THROTTLE ODOVJROWMXJFODOMXJCUFIDIE.D IT IS WHAT SUSTAINES ME. junk yard dog tho, , , , my mortal enemy not even that living blob of a business man. nah i got real beef with that dog

Uh yeah. Along with Ultima one of my favorite games ever

And Full Throttle is one of the weaker LucasArts adventures. This shows just how good they were

YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOD TIER? YOUR FUCKING CONTENT! 😤 Whoever reads this I hope your day is GREAT!

I appreciate your appreciation of this amazing game. Does anyone have any recommendations for other adventure games? I tried the other lucasarts games but didn't like them (Sam max, day of the tentacle) but I really loved full throttle.

3:23

Can you do a vid about Grim Fandango??

Did you watch the new sim settlement 2 trailer yet?

Full Throttle has never been remade, it was remastered. This is a good review except for conflating those two terms into one another. Remasters are not remakes.

the games not get more in depth most games jsut get shittier and shittier just get pretty but not better

Have any other games like this one?

Finally so tired of people saying game bad me play badass but no kill wahwah

First

please make a the last of us opinion

The game's ass tier. The puzzles make no sense and fighting is shit
