Description

You are 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, Day of the Tentacle and Sam & Max Hit The Road. The game features a revamped interface: instead of choosing a command verb or an action icon and then interacting with an object, you can now simply point at it, and the available action icons will appear automatically.

Trivia

For a funny sequence at the final scene, try using the toy bunnies on the huge fan of the truck. You will be treated to Ben, heroically pushing them into the fan and grinding them, to the sound of Wagner's Das Ring der Nibelungen (I think...).

You can also wait to the end of the credits, and you'll see the electric bunnies, wobbling proudly into the sunset - to the same music...
