Why Robin Makes Batman Better If there’s one thing guaranteed to please our ageing eyes more than a pair of Monkey Island-themed Chuck Taylors, it’s a pair of Day of the Tentacle-themed Chuck Taylors.
Lucasfilm make movies. Lucasarts make games. Rarely do the two ever actually meet, but today, they meet in these fantastic mock-ups, showing what Lucasarts games would look like as movie posters.
Wilson’s gone and done it. He’s gone and opened the big, dusty box with “Tim Schafer Memories” scrawled all over the lid. And while I wholeheartedly agree, Day of the Tentacle’s intro is perhaps the classiest, funniest and most professionally cut Lucasarts sequence of the 1990s, it’s lacking…a certain something. Something to really set the mood for Brutal Legend. This intro, to 1995′s Full Throttle, about does it.
BONUS TRIVIA: The intro music’s provided by The Gone Jackals. Grab their second album, “Bone To Pick”, and you’ve got yourself most of Full Throttle’s soundtrack.
Little known fact, I think about this classic opening from Tim Schafer’s Day of the Tentacle almost once a day. OK…maybe not quite that much, but a lot, especially as the announcement of Brutal Legend. Every element up to the low angle shot of the newly empowered tentacle genius is absolute brilliance.
And that’s why I never drank toxic waste again.
