I did. [img]smile.gif[/img] It was a long journey alright, but hey, which guy can say no to a gal character in just her PJs?
[img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] I jest, and seriously, despite some minor translation flaws, it is one of the better "serious" Adventure games. My advise to those playing it for the first time. Get some pen and paper, unless you are confident that you have photographic memory. [img]tongue.gif[/img] One thing that I liked about the game was its' witty cynicism and dry humour. It is very hard to pull off such a feat, but TLJ succeeded in doing it. [img]smile.gif[/img] |

Oh yeah, TLJ was awesome! I had the (mis)fortune of buying it just as my end-of-year exams started last year. Needless to say, very little study was done

OK Ive been doing a bit of research on playing lucas arts (scumm engine) games on modern PC's and many of them are supported by emulators available from this link.
Though the one to allow you to play full throttle is still a way from completion. http://scummvm.sourceforge.net/compatibility.php Has anybody tried one of these emulators? If anybody knows of other ways of getting old lucas arts games running let us know [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

I was sad to hear last month that the new version of Full Throttle has been cancelled. Too bad, I was looking forward to it.
