what game is this?

Post by resin » Thu Oct 13, 2011 3:19 am

I'm hoping someone can identify a game for me. I'm not sure if it was a Sierra release or not, but its a point and click type game that was released early-mid 90s. From what I can remember, you play as a biker dude. You start off in a woman's house I believe (can't remember why), I think you had a dog that followed you around. I distinctly remember a bar scene, where you have to prove your toughness by playing a knife game, where you stick your knife between your fingers while trying not to actually stick your fingers. There was also a long bike chase. Anyone know this game? I know it isn't much to go on, but hopefully someone can remember. I last played it around 94-95, so I've forgotten alot, but I do remember it was really fun and I wanna play it again..

ps. sorry if this is posted in the wrong category, but seemed like the best choice.. maybe you could add a 'Name that Game' type category to the forum?

Doesn't quite sound like Full Throttle.

that's it! i actually just found it myself by searching the right keywords. I loved that game, don't know what happened to my old copy. I think I was mistaken about the dog following you, instead it was guarding a junkyard. it's all coming back to me now.. anyways thanks

Wasn't the knife game in Manhunter? Don't remember it in Full Throttle.

That is why I dismissed that it could be Full Throttle.

Actually it was from Full Throttle. But it was kind of a secret. not alot of people knew about it. here's a video of it that i just came across,

Same here. To me, Full Throttle was one of the more enjoyable of the LA games, which I did not expect, given the theme of the game.
