		<description>I really don't get the "new sam and max" bashing, i mean sure, the first season was rather dull, but you can feel the episodes getting better as the team get's confortable, and i found the second season's last two episodes hillarios, sure they're not as &lt;strike&gt; funny &lt;/strike&gt;  witty as the golden lucas art's games, but then again, what is these days?</description>

		<description>I was always a bit terrible at adventure games, so never really played Full Throttle. My first proper exposure to it came from this song by 65daysofstatic  http://www.musicuploader.org/MUSIC/4607781220247677.mp3 utterly fantastic band by the way.

I now want to get a copy.</description>

		<description>Sam and Max, Day of the Tentacle, The Dig, Full Throttle, Grim Fandango - a golden era of gaming - and all so good that they should NEVER have sequels.

New Sam and Max is evidence of this.</description>

		<description>@KruddMan:  The band *was* the Gone Jackals, from all I can find online.  I plan on emailing the band with the question, since I can't find a definitive answer from the big G.

I like to imagine (given that these are all smart, but nonetheless super-roady biker fellows) that the credits were intentionally listed as Chitlins, Whiskey, and Skirt; being as they were likely the only motivation for writing music (particularly this song) in the first place. ^_~</description>

		<description>The Dig was truly awful Spielburg dreck, sorry. The characters were all completely insufferable, and it couldn't have been cheesier if it were trying to do so on purpose. But it wasn't a parody&#8212;it was po-facedly serious, like a thirteen-year-old blogging about how Google will take over the world by 2015.

And the lead dev who finished it hated FT, which clearly shows that they are a &lt;em&gt;bad person&lt;/em&gt;:
&lt;blockquote cite="http://www.mixnmojo.com/php/site/gamedb.php?gameid=29"&gt;
Some team members experimented with a Full Throttle-style control method, using a sheer glass pentagon with the five icons arrayed around it. But Sean rejected the idea, due to his disdain for that game.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

monkeymonster: Sorry, Grim wasn't SCUMM-based, so ScummVM doesn't handle it. They're &lt;a href="http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Residual"&gt;working on it&lt;/a&gt;; last change &lt;a href="http://scummvm.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/scummvm/residual/trunk/"&gt;five days ago&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

		<description>If you want to experience Full Throttle without the arcade-derby-part and the puzzles, I recommend VGMD's Full Throttle movie.</description>

		<description>I rather like the occasional short game, apart from anything else it means I can be fairly sure of completing it.

Full Throttle told its story, it told it well, what more could one ask?  Adding more length would likely have detracted from its charm.

For me, the trouble with the Dig was the ending, which I thought rather sappy and also damaging to the drama and meaning of what had gone before.  I hated that ending (hated in the ordinary English sense of didn't really like, not the internet sense of stalking its writers and posting multi-page rants about it decades later).

On a grognardy note, no love here for Broken Sword?  The first one is probably one of my favourite computer games of all time, cruelly left out of the PCG top 100 in place of such fol de rol as Warcraft III (a game I got thoroughly bored with round about the start of the elven missions).</description>
