I'm aware of the original game but I don't think I've ever played it. Anyway it's been remastered and is out for just about every format except Xbox for some reason Confused

Looks like a biker version of Monkey island:

I had that first time round. The original Dark Forces came with a demo of it that left you absolutely having to buy it.

I did love that game. Mark Hamill did the voices for the evil corporate man trying to take over the 'Corley' motorcycle company...

Worth £9 then? https://store.steampowered.com/app/228360/

Or I could probably play the original via an emulator, the remastered Monkey island lost all the magic IMO, but that's mainly because they used voice actors (the original didn't have any). Full Throttle they apparently used the original recordings.

Still a bit miffed about no Xbone ver.

...go on. I don't particularly like steam (or at all) so no DRM would be preferable.

Saints Row 2, far and away the best one, is free, isn't it? Heard the PC port was a bit poor, but I had hours of fun with it on 360.

It's problematical, even fully patched. Buggy, glitchy, the frame rate is all over the place, and vehicle steering can be haphazard. The herky-jerky Toad controls make Trail Blazing missions nearly impossible, even set on easy. It really triggered my 100% OCD.

3 and 4 have much better engines on PC, but I do miss murdering gardening homemakers - so gangsta.

I played it to death when I was a kid, loved it.

I ended up with a swiss army knife in my finger after playing five finger fillet on full throttle.

Completed this last night, it's probably the friendliest PaC game I've played, very few total dick puzzles.

Did they change the soundtrack? The original game was so much fun. Even the trailer was great: https://youtu.be/qj_1s_X3I-0?t=3s Thumbs Up

I even got the original soundtrack by Gone Jackals from the game. All was on their 1995 album ''Bone to pick''.
