Most underrated (despite its big name): Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
Full Throttle is an excellent adventure game, but not even in my top 5 LucasArts adventure games. In comparison to LA's other greats It's too short, has too few locations and a bit too simple puzzles for my taste (not that anyone would care today, but back then fans and critics cared; the bar had been set so high with its 1990 to 1993 predecessors that Full Throttle felt like a minor disappointment to some fans in 1995 - and then they released The Dig aka LucasArts' POS based on an "idea" by Steven Spielberg...).
An excellent game like Full Throttle not even being in my top 5 of the company's adventure games just shows just how good Ron Gilbert, Tim Schafer, Dave Grossmann & Co. were at creating these games and influencing a whole genre - see e.g. my sig, this game is strongly influenced by LucasArts - like no other company. Except Sierra On-Line of course, but I always preferred LA.
