Full Throttle is a graphic adventure video game developed by LucasArts and designed by Tim Schafer. The game was released on April 30, 1995, for MS-DOS, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS. It was Schafer's first game as project lead and head writer and designer, after having worked on other LucasArts titles including The Secret of Monkey Island (1990), Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge (1991), and Day of the Tentacle (1993). Set in the near future, the game's story follows Ben, the leader of a biker gang, who is framed for the murder of a beloved motorcycle manufacturing mogul and seeks to clear his and his gang's names. A remastered version of the game was developed by Double Fine Productions and was released in April 2017 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita, with later ports for the iOS and planned for the Xbox One.
Full Throttle was LucasArts' eleventh adventure game overall and the tenth to use the company's in-house game engine, SCUMM. It featured full motion video and action sequences, using LucasArts' INSANE animation engine, which was previously utilized in Star Wars: Rebel Assault II: The Hidden Empire. It was the first LucasArts game to be released for Microsoft Windows and the first to be distributed only on CD-ROM. It also introduced a contextual pie menu through which the player controls interactions with objects and characters. In contrast to other computer games of the era, which mostly relied on in-house talent for their voice acting, Full Throttle used mostly professional voice actors, including Roy Conrad as Ben, Mark Hamill as the villainous Adrian Ripburger, Hamilton Camp as the elderly Malcolm Corley, and Kath Soucie as Ben's ally Maureen. It was one of the few LucasArts games to use licensed music, featuring songs by San Francisco-area rock band The Gone Jackals.

可以看出创作者想要给这类游戏添加更多“动作性”，不过操作的局限使得这些尝试并不很成功。作为一个卢卡斯冒险游戏，台词量不太过关可不行。
虽然妥妥的是写给摩托文化的情书，但实际并无公路片的韵味。不过无论是运镜、节奏和场面还是故事情节都确是纯熟的好莱坞动作喜剧片水准。个人认为卢的游戏成就的起点大大得益于其对自身电影文化资源的运用，并在此基础上探索了交互机制。然而随着技术更新在游戏中能够越来越完整的实现电影形式时，对交互的探索反而停滞甚至退步了。也许这就是点触冒险解谜这种模式无比切合却又局限在固有电影语言的极限。所谓盛极而潮落。
