Previously Take

An 85 average from its 192 true believers. An adventure game leaning hard into science fiction, comedy — more about the journey than the destination. Best experienced alone, preferably with nowhere to be. A 1995 original that still holds up — they don't make them like this anymore, literally.

One minute you're on the road, riding. Not a care in the world. Then some guy in a suit comes along, says he's got a deal for you and your gang. But when you come to, you've got a lump on your head, the law on your back, and a feeling in your gut that the road you're on is about to get lot rougher... BEAT-UP. BUSTED. MAD. Ben's been double-crossed before. But this time they messed with his gang, they trashed his bike, and they're about to come back for more. CHAIN SAWS. TYRE IRONS. SEMI TRUCKS. Everything's coming after Ben at once. Trouble's riding his back so tight it makes the leather squeak. He's got to out-fight it, out-smart it, and out-run it if he wants to survive. SUITS. COPS. MINIVANS. The society that him out long ago wants him back--Dead or Alive. A faceless legal system wants Ben for murder. A greedy executive wants him for money. A mysterious woman wants him for revenge. WHAT THEY'RE ALL GONNA GET IS UP TO YOU.
