Sam & Max Hit the Road

The game has charm and personality but the game is clunkity clunkity clunky. The controls are awkward, the puzzles are nonsense, the plot is just meandering and not particularly striking. Despite the awkwardness the game is easy, some might even say too easy but if it wasn't the bad controls and nonsense logic would have made this a frustrating experience so I'm not counting that as a negative. Overall it's okay, better than a lot of early adventure games but that's not saying much. In its own merit I wouldn't say it's a must play.

I'm just curious where the save option is

I like the characters and the humor, but the difficult puzzles combine with slow pace of play to make this game a frustrating experience.

The characters talking can be funny but the jokes wears out after a while. You can not click on objects properly which means you gotta scum save just before timed tricky points and try again and again to progress. The puzzles have no logic, you've got to micro scan every scene for things to pick up, then try to combine or use everything at every point in the game. So, unless you wanna spend hours getting to the next scene, use a walkthrough. The characters walk very slowly, which if you've got to repeat sections (see above) is very tedious. I doubt I'll go much further with it, the good bits aren't worth my time and annoyance. Might watch a walkthrough vid instead to get the funny without the hassle.

The game is great, of course, but the "goodies" on gog are a joke. Hintbook scan looks like something downloaded from the net. In fact a fan would certainly do a better job at it than gog. This is a terrible presentation :-(
