Today marks the 30th anniversary of Full Throttle, released on April 30, 1995. A cult classic little gem from the golden age of LucasArts point-and-click adventure games. Tim Schafer's first solo project, featuring biker gangs, storytelling and cutscenes that draw inspiration from the Mad Max films, a protagonist who gets wrongfully framed for murder, a distinct cinematic style, and a soundtrack by the Gone Jackals.

Ben, the main character, was voiced by Roy Conrad, while Mark Hamill voiced the game's villain. Despite its planned sequels never getting off the ground, and the title being relatively short, Full Throttle has more than managed to perfectly stand out on its own thanks to its humour, memorable story and characters, and its fresh new approach to the adventure game genre. Decades later, it still deserves all the love it's getting, and if you've never played it, the 2017 remaster is an excellent way to fix that.

Front and back covers of the original 1995 game, on the front showing Ben riding his bike, wearing sunglasses and a leather jacket, with the game title right above him and the LucasArts logo visible on the bottom right of the box. On the back cover there are several screenshots from the game and snippets including the taglines: "Motorcycles. Mayhem. Murder." and "special guest star Mark Hamill."

My first real computer, following some of the early game consoles. Well, I had a Commodore 128 to be exact, but I spent about 90% of my time playing games in C64 mode. 🕹️😁

Added light switches for #OpenCrystalCaves. The OG #CrystalCaves did this cleverly: being limited to the EGA palette, they did a palette swap, changing lights to darks and darks to blacks, resulting in this atmospheric cave-like effect that is quite effective. But we're not limited to EGA today which means we have the option to try an even better monochrome palette!

Check it out - you can swap between the two in game with the spacebar!
