- khedoros 11y agoGrim Fandango Remastered is in the current mobile bundle too.
- the_af 11y agoGrim Fandango is deservedly loved, but Full Throttle has a special place in my heart. First, because it was one of the first "talkie" adventure games I legally owned -- I think it came as a demo game with the Soundblaster card? -- and also because of the cartoon art style and post-apocalyptic biker gangs theme. And the voice-overs. I really, really would love to see a sequel done in glorious 2D. 3D would ruin it for me; the style was everything in this game.
- ux-app 11y agoI utterly adored Full Throttle. As a kid, it was the first adventure game I was able to complete without a guide.

- leonroy 11y agoAh yes, The Gone Jackals. After finishing Full Throttle and being so smitten by that tune I resolved to find a copy of their album 'Bone to Pick'. As a 12 year old kid it took me some time to figure out where to buy it but definitely worth the time and pocket money spent! An underrated album and still very much worth a listen.
- takeda 11y agoTBH Grim Fandango Remastered does not differ much from the original one. Often you couldn't even tell the difference.
- jsheard 11y agoGraphics aside, the revamped input options alone justify the remaster IMO. They got a lot of things right with the original but tank controls were not one of them.
- takeda 11y agoeh... after a while you get used to it :) I still wish the graphics were better, it looks like Grim Fandango and Day of the Tentacle don't have much improvement in graphics department, so I'm afraid Full Throttle will be similar disappointment to me. Comparing that to remakes of Secret of the Monkey Island[1] or Bionic Commando Rearmed[2] (different genre) it looks poor. It feels like LucasArt (and actually Disney) are simply going for making easy money on people who are nostalgic about these games with as little investment as they can.

- eru 11y agoThe Monkey Island remakes destroyed the original art style. I like the more cautious path they took for Day of the Tentacle.
- nerdcity 11y agoIt was certainly different, but I wouldn't say the original art style was 'destroyed' due to the fact the at any time in the game you can switch back to the original style. It's not exactly destroyed if its RIGHT THERE. I think with DotT there is less room for that kind of art upheaval though, because, frankly, the art already looks good. It still holds up very well today, expecially if you run in SCUMMVM in turn on some graphics filters.
