Full Throttle? Awesome! (I almost picked that as my all-time favorite game, but the bike fights annoyed me a bit, and are now unplayable on faster PC’s. [There might be a way to fix it via DOSBox, but if so, I haven’t figured out how. And I’ve tried.])

Oh, I forgot to mention: that SCUMMVM you described? We had that for Betani’s iPaq PDA, and had installed both “Sam & Max Hit The Road” and “Full Throttle” on it. I was psyched about the idea of a “CD-ROM game” running on such a small device, though I realize anyone with a PSP or DS is shrugging, saying “Yeah? So?” 😉
The stylus, however, does not work well for Full Throttle’s interface. ‘:(
