Full Throttle (1995) PC Complete Playthrough - NintendoComplete

A beginning to end playthrough of LucasArts' 1995 graphic adventure opus, Full Throttle.
This game blew my mind when I first got it back in 1995. It combined the awesomeness of all of LucasArts' previous adventures (Sam n Max, Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island...) and amped it up by several orders of magnitude. It's a fair amount shorter and easier than the company's earlier games, but it's drowning in personality, badassness, and general quality in every respect. If you ever had a passing interest in the "experience" of a graphic adventure, look no further. Full Throttle has everything in spades.
I hope you enjoy it - I thoroughly enjoyed playing through this again for the umpteenth time.

I was 12 ,today i am 37,thanks for the memories. Best game ever

[@ThePatente]

I'm 45, fucked my first girl after showing her this. 🤣 Back then on my Compaq Presario 486 sx-33. 😂

[@vitali8905]

I was 6 and did not understand english at the time. I never got past the junkyard door at 28:24 and it haunted me for more than 20 years. Also I never knocked the other biker out in the highway fist fight. Until this day I did not even know the title to research for playthrough. My 6-year-old self would thank you to finally be able to continue with the game.

[@kadel300]

2:08 - 2:30 Pure goosebumps. The way the camera pans up behind Ben's bike, and then to the front, with the main title. For the time, this was absolute perfection for an intro, and I think it still holds up! Man this game was awesome.

[@gustavobranda]

i still dream of the day they make a movie out of this game's story

[@madhatter984]

And they will screw it up like 100%of game movies.

[@senanladnonu9552]

Gustavo Brandalise Javier Bardem can be the lead character riding a motorbike lol ....

It happened on a TV show called Reboot. Your dreams are fullfilled.

[@StevemanChair]

Can’t see anyone else other than Bruce Campbell as Ben. Wouldn’t surprise me if they based Ben on Ash from Evil Dead.

[@rheabelltower84]

An absolute CLASSIC!!! I miss the 90s My dad and I spent hours playing this game.

I was a kid and I only had the demo . I replayed so much . Finally watching as an adult .

Still one of the best games of all time. Thank you for playing.

[@hoborg98]

"Sir, that's horrible. I'm not WAITING for you to die!" That line gets me every time.

[@Nycholas17]

I had thought NOTHING could POSSIBLY top NES games...until FULL THROTTLE ( and TWISTED METAL 2) turned me around. Unbelievably well-rounded movie/live finger-action/ puzzle solving/ rock n' roll serenade all rolled into 1 AWESOME game.

[@senanladnonu9552]

I remember playing this game and finishing it to the end with great fun and satisfaction. Thanks for posting the videos of old games. Great nostalgia!

[@violetadiazrios3339]

"Now it's just me and the bunnies". That line cracks me up everytime XD

[@Bbygirl2829]

remembering playing this game when i was 7 years old with my father :) i dont think id want a remake, i dunno why but i think it would ruin that beautiful memory of my sweet childhood.

[@codyg2485]

I know your comment was written 2 years ago, but I had to say something-- I know exactly what you mean.. I was 7 years old in 1995 as well, but I played with my cousin not my dad. But definitely brings me back to a very sweet time too

[@scottloring6188]

Played this game with my dad too.seemed like the best game ever then.i keep thinking we didn’t get as far but then lol of a sudden I remeber what todo next.lol

[@Silidons91]

Me too, now I'm 27 and have a Harley lol

[@fartspoo4244]

As of May 8, 2019, there are ten dislikes. Must be from minivan owners...

[@Watcher3223]

@@binouche2281 What's the difference that matters if you play it with a virtual machine or through emulation? The game plays fine using ScummVM.

[@binouche2281]

@@Watcher3223 Just the pause and save menu.

[@Watcher3223]

@@binouche2281 That's nitpicking, IMO.

[@binouche2281]

​@@Watcher3223 Indeed it is, so here's more: The playthrough was just badly done. He saves and loads multiple times, one time actually showing it on screen(Which is especially annoying with how you see him die and restart after), the others performing extremely obvious cuts at inconvenient places. I think the likes are due to the game and not the playthrough.

[@Watcher3223]

@@binouche2281 _"The playthrough was just badly done"_ Now you bring up good points, though your criticism is about his skill at playing the game, which would have been the case either with ScummVM or DosBox, so why would it matter what he used to play it?

[@talkaboutwacky]

I love the song at the begging by the Gone Jackals. I played this game with my dad over and over as a kid. NOSTALGIC AF BABY!

[@stephenelliott4006]

The cavefish were my favorite element in the motorcycle gang aspect of the game. Still very mysterious. Thanks for the upload. Great memories.

[@Cekkent]

Sweet jesus! My 11-year-old self saved up every bit of money I could find to be able to buy this when it came out! I spent many an hour playing it, and getting stuck by bugs in the canyon section! I even bought the Gone Jackals' album! Thanks for the memories!

[@paulweaver2779]

i bought it too :)

[@gknightbc6204]

+Damian Harouff I think I've still got this game in my storage. :)

[@TheEvilways101]

blast from the past..

[@DancerInTheHeart]

Funny how he just casually walks towards the ladder in the final battle scene when they're about to plunge down the cliff.

[@ygalel]

Ah, 15 years later and I finally get to see how it ends.

[@S3PT1M1]

OMFG your my hero for doing a playthrough of this, this game was my childhood man, i want to play it again, but dosbox is a pain in the ass :P

[@NintendoComplete]

Have you tried ScummVM? It's quite a bit easier to set up if you aren't comfortable with Dos.

[@S3PT1M1]

never heard of it :P i assume it does essentially the same thing?

[@NintendoComplete]

S3PT1M1 Yeah, it plays the games just like they would've played in Dos, and you can setup filters for the graphics and whatnot. It also tends to support other non-PC versions of the games if you have the files on hand. Pretty easy to set up and get going, much more than any type of VM or full system emulation.

[@S3PT1M1]

sweet, il definitely look it up then. doesn't come up often but every now and then i feel like playing an excessively old game cuz someone said it was good, and dosbox is a bit of a pain to set up, so this potentially opens the door for some classics :)

[@NintendoComplete]

S3PT1M1 Definitely. It plays just about all of the Sierra games as well.

[@MrRikisuma]

It still blows my mind that Mark Hamil voiced Ripburger.... Doesnt seem like Luke Skywalker haha

[@NintendoComplete]

Ha-ha I know right? I hardly believed it when I first saw that. He also played the detective in Gabriel Knight. And Blair in Wing Commander :)

[@vidrax3481]

+Potater I remember back there, Lucasarts has luanched another game, starwars game, also using dos, played a little, but the thing is, was the same years, bet was from that starwars project they pick the guy for the job, he was sticking around anyway, and also back there, Luke skywalker wasnt't him, he was just Luke...

[@danalong1237]

And the character of Malcolm Corley was voiced by the late Hamilton Camp, best known for providing the voice of Dracula in Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf, while the game's title character was voiced by the late Roy Conrad.

[@RZPPAA]

Form on my wing............Negative........Fuck off Maniac

[@pferreira1983]

Roy Conrad was Merrick in Star Wars: RA II.

[@FasJav]

Aah..this game reminds of my Pentium I computer and those DOS commands..This game was just awesome!! the awesomeness is still there!!!

[@rodriguesss0908]

I remember playing this game on my father's computer about ten years ago, I only remembered the scene with the biker pulling the barman's nose ring and slamming his face on the table, Now finally, after so long I'm seeing him again. Good times

[@jackhackett80]

I had this when I was in my late teens, and it's hard to believe it has been almost 20 years ago...wow

[@nickF_CA]

I had a deep memory of being around 3-4 years old and my uncle playing this game while i watched. I thought this was a false memory all this time until i stumbled upon this being real..... Crazy haha

[@herrkarlsson7985]

"You understand me! MINIVANS!"

[@JakobDam]

This was one of the first games I played on my then-new 486 DX2 50 MHz with 4 MB RAM and S3 graphics with 1 MB VRAM. The sound was so good on my Sound Blaster 16 - the best until Audigy arrived anyways. I felt it was litterally like playing a movie. It was just so good!

[@entronics]

I had no idea this game existed until today, I looked up best pc games on 1995, I watched the first 15 mins of gameplay and I was hooked. I wish I knew about this when I was a kid.

[@S.Madman]

41:40 help me Ben you are my only hope (star wars reference).

[@Mcsteveberry]

Back when games didn't do the thinking for you

[@Pinkles666]

I was 7 when this game game out. I actually vividly remember playing it, it was such a fun game.

[@DrewskisBrews]

Easter Egg: @44:53 if you bug Emmitt enough, he will let you try finger-knife solitaire. It switches to a first-person view of Ben's hand, palm down on the table, and mouse clicks bring the knife down wherever the pointer is.

[@tcshook13]

wow, i remember playing this when i was in high School..lol.. i feel old..LOL

[@Crazytomm]

I think I was early elementary school. Watching this footage brings back memories I haven't thought since i was little.

[@fuxbox]

I dont think there's much else that has more character than this game. 90s rule. Take me back

[@butthissureisfun5619]

Looking back, I still can’t understand why Ben rejected Ripburger’s offer in the first place aside from his ego getting in the way.

[@TheGamersGrotto]

Full Throttle remake comes out April 18th, 2017 for PS4, PS Vita and PC.. You excited? I definitely am!!

[@NintendoComplete]

I was excited:) I'm playing it now, should have it up pretty soon!

[@wigevi]

Didn't remember, the name of this gama, and hadn't been able to find it. LucasArts came to my mind this week, and bang, here I am. watch it all. thumbs up for bring us back.

[@Yapostadodat]

This game used to bring my 486 DX, 8mb, Quad cd-rom PC to its KNEES when I tried playing it, crashing constantly during the highway intro but it was still worth it. Even using a bootdisc to create a RAM cache didn't help too much. For it's time it was state of the art gaming and it still stands out, especially the music and atmospheric landscapes.

[@CMVMic]

My childhood :(

[@gcfcos]

Loved this game as a kid! Was too hard for me so watched my mate play it 😂

i remember playing a demo of this as a teen. maybe on dark forces?

[@GamerGirlEmber]

If anything... I think this game needs to be re-released, along with the Neverhood since Armikrog is coming out eventually. Just my opinion, but seeing a game I grew up with just sit in the dust and not be known kind of feels saddening for me. Plus, since Lucas Arts doesn't exist anymore because of Disney... well... idk. At least thanks to scummvm I can actually play this game a lot better than how I used to. The sound is much better (for some reason the sound was terrible...), but I think our copy was starting to bite the dust so... maybe that. This is a great game, its about as old as me (no really... 20 years old... nuff said) and needs to be shown again.

[@christophera4090]

I'm curious if you recall receiving any Copyright Claims due to The Gone Jackals song "Legacy" in the opening of this game. I'm currently fighting The Orchard who false flagged my other channel's let's play video of Full Throttle.
