Episode 21 – Full Throttle
January 10, 2013Hi Blockers!
Time for episode 21! This time around, I’m covering the great 1995 Lucasarts adventure game, Full Throttle.
But first, a bit of news:
It’s the new year which means it’s time for CES. I talk a little bit about some things announced there and my hopes for the upcoming Steam Box.
A kickstarter campaign who’s aim is to remake the original space trading game, Elite successfully funded. Check it out!
Finally, it seems the remake of Leisure Suit Larry is on schedule for a Q1 2013 release.
A quick voicemail from Rick Moyer all about the creation of the show’s intro song.
Then on to the main topic, Full Throttle. I cover all the usual topics and play a lot of clips from the game.
Next time, I’ll be talking about the 1999 business sim, Rollercoaster Tycoon.

Great episode!!! I was looking forward to it, because Full Throttle is one of those Lucas games I was vaguely interested in, but never got around to. You definitely gave a great preview of it, now I only need to get my hands on it…
I was extremely pleased to hear Rick Moyer’s voicemail on the intro song, as I myself had been rather curious about it. I recognized the Fallout clip, the Commander Keen clip, some others niggle at my memory, and others I don’t recall! So was great to hear what he had to say about it.
Awesome podcast as always! 🙂
Great episode. I’m a big fan of Full Throttle and personally cannot wait for my boy to grow up a little to we can go through this game together again.
Keep up the good work!
