I was cooler than a polar bear's toenail (or so I thought) and had allowed gaming to become a taboo pleasure I dare not speak of about in the company of my "super-cool" friends at the time. Women were the main focus, fuck playing a damn video game, let alone talking about one. That is a time in my life where I had taken control over my geek outbursts. My family was rocking a Compaq Presario running Windows 3.1 and I just hated using the damn thing. I was 18yrs old, busy chasing ass and dodging class and just did not feel games were a significant part of my life. When I first played Full Throttle, I thought I had out-grown the point and click adventure game. He even gets a mulligan for the terrible Brutal Legend I love the man's work, but the game is total shit. Maybe it is because they came after Sam, Max, Guybrush and LeChuck and benefited from lessons learned? Could it be the writing is better, level design more fluid and stories slightly more entertaining than Sam & Max and The Secret of Monkey Island? Full Throttle and Grim Fandango (pssst, so was Monkey Island) are designed and/or co-written and/or blessed by Tim Schafer, an industry vet and the creative mind behind some of the most enjoyable games I've played. I'm well aware of how revered Sam & Max, as well as Monkey Island, are but feel Full Throttle and Grim Fandango are just better games. While almost commonplace to list the titles I have, it is obvious how brilliant these games are. Each game littered with distinctive characters and writing so full of wit and charm it is a shame they laid the foundation for Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. Of the four games listed, Full Throttle and Grim Fandango are the "Best of Show" in my opinion. Allow me to introduce you to the four LucasArts games worth a damn…Full Throttle (1995), Grim Fandango (1998), Sam & Max (1993) and The Secret of Monkey Island (1990).
