Full Throttle
Full Throttle is the ruler that should be used to judge all other adventures. Like its ancestors in the LEC legacy, it used DOS graphics capabilities to their fullest capabilities for a graphic adventure. The late Roy Conrad made Ben's voice sound perfect for his build, even though Mr. Conrad looked NOTHING like Ben. The Gone Jackals did a superb job on the soundtrack, making gamers lean back in their chairs as Ben drives over the top of a limo in the intro to the beat of a building guitar riff, his landing punctuated by slamming drums and a bass guitar kicking in at just the right moment. I enjoy all of LEC's adventures, but none of the others had the same feel to them that Full Throttle had has, and with the sequel coming out, I only expect the same excitement this game gives me.
