Of the many adventure games that Double Fine founder and LucasArts alum Tim Schafer has been involved in over his long and decorated career, Full Throttle is the best-selling of the lot, according to Double Fine, and also my favorite. The 1995 point-and-click comedy featured stylized graphics, razor-sharp humor from the deadpan biker hero Ben Throttle, a killer hard rock soundtrack, and a memorable villain in the form of Mark Hamill's slimy corporate stooge Adrian Ripburger.
Over 20 years later, absolutely all of those qualities may very well remain true thanks to Full Throttle Remastered. Like Schafer's previous updates to his other classics, Day of the Tentacle and Grim Fandango, Throttle is being given a visual facelift. And like those two revivals, the doctor (in this case, Schafer and his team at Double Fine) knows not to go too crazy on the operating table. By and large, Full Throttle Remastered retains its visual identity, seemingly looking like it would had 1080p widescreen displays been the norm in '95.
