Man i miss the 90s things were so much better then.

[@usedcolouringbook8798]

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.

[@TKsMantis]

Yeah. Just weird to think that was the case back then lol

[@ligninman]

@@TKsMantis rather, weird that's its the case now.

Bro was probably cool with his parents a good also so fuck it send the kid to the neighbors

[@necrosadotor]

yup our neighbor was old war veteran who gave us cookies and soda to come over. he just wanted company to share his stories. now it'd sound creepy

[@sirdiesalot2975]

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.

[@TKsMantis]

Good point.

[@killaken2000]

Stranger danger is a good idea but overblown because the reality is more unsettling. You're far more likely to be sexually or physically assaulted by people within the family or known to the family.

[@esotericschizoidoccultconjurer]

@@killaken2000 Yes but there are also a few somewhat rarer cases of this which has occurred outside of known family. Hence that is why it has been enforced in the first place despite many humans being generally considered as good people.

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

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

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!

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 :)

[@sgtsnokeem1139]

I loved Day of the Tentacle. Loved the humour.

[@kikrinman1450]

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.

[@damienisabell7565]

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

[@deepseadoughnut44]

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

[@marknicholasdavis]

In the 90s when I was 7(?) my dad had a Macintosh for work and a random stack of CD-ROMs that included this and Myst. I had no idea how to finish Full Throttle until he helped me one day. One of the things he pointed out was that a hint to hiding from the cops in the shadows at the gas tower was literally on the back of the CD case. Love this game. Every time I play the remaster it brings me back to a time where a computer was for work or solo video games and that's it. You should post some shorts about it.

[@frogtales1368]

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

[@TKsMantis]

Glad I am not the only one.

[@greenhowie]

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.

[@TKsMantis]

Glad you noticed. I left some KEY things out so this video couldn't be used as a straight walkthrough and so there would be some surprises for people who DID go back and play it.

[@sssuperslayer25]

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

[@TKsMantis]

Check it out if you like TellTale style stuff.

[@sssuperslayer25]

@@TKsMantis hey Mantis I think you would really like the sam and Max series. They were also made by LucasArts and telltale games later on. They have a similar point and click adventure design and are insanely funny.

[@wolfshanze5980]

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.

[@wilsonkok4754]

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

[@nonotthatone605]

Second best thing about this game? What happens when you set the bunnies loose. 🤣

[@demonhanzohattori]

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.

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.

[@BL00DYME55]

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.

[@daimlertime9479]

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.

[@wonderduck2345]

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.

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

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.

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!

​@@TKsMantis ​ You are right, I am from Brazil and to this day, I have never found anyone outside my family who knew or played this game. Oh, man! Great memories... I played the shit out of it when I was a kid even if I didn't understand shit because of the language barrier. I have spent countless hours trying to figure what to do everywhere in the game because of it, I asked for help from my mom, dad, uncle, no one understood shit either, so we had to go by trial and error and trying to figure what was happenning in the story just by what was happening visually. I only really understood the plot few years ago when playing the remake as an adult, which by the way, as you already know, is fucking great. Thanks for making justice with this amazing video about this GOD TIER game!
