The International House of Mojo

Can't beat a Corley.

I always adored that Full Throttle's animations only got better and better as the game went along. It has some stunning cut-scenes, but that scene with Ripburger falling out the front of the jet and clinging to the license plate was like nothing else in a 2d animated game. Curse has nothing on Throttle.

It's kind of cool that I've forgotten (or missed) it then. Was a nice surprise seeing it with the rest of those animations.

It was on Mojo before, because I posted it in the Fate of Atlantis Secret History feature. :P

Still, it's awesome!

Awesome vid, those were some of my favorite parts of Full Throttle, i am now more aware of my appreciation of Anson's work. Thanks :D
Also congrats Clone :D

I have seen undead Hitler's face melting. My day is perfect.

I honestly forgot the Bluth (Don, not Michael or GOB) level of quality in Full Throttle's cinematics. Even if they were a little rough around their pixellated little edges, the degree of fluidity feels almost like a lost art when weighed against today's Flash-powered 'toonage.

The undead Hitler test animation has been floating around the internet for years as the only glimpse we have of Iron Phoenix in motion, but that's certainly the first I've seen of those moments from the Moriarty Dig.

One day I would like to bug Joe Pinney for some tear-jerking Iron Phoenix production stories. Given that the game was showcased at a trade show in '95 (or so), it's probably comparable to Freelance Police in terms of how far along it was before aborted. ATM did a good job of piecing together the circumstances of the game's demise awhile back but there's probably a fair bit of juice to squeeze out of the parties involved.

Yeah, some great things in that video - nice find!

Wow! Actual cutscene footage from Iron Helix... I mean Phoenix! I didn't think it existed.
