Sam & Max Hit the Road

I love everything about this game. Fun point & click adventure, great humour, nice comics-like drawings, and it isn't even annoyingly long. Moreover, the Italian dubbing is perfect and the adaptations of its jokes are very nicely done.

I have loved this game for more than 30 years. Obviously you control Sam the dog/irish wolfhound and have your little buddy Max the rabbit/lagomorph. It is your typical point and click adventure game. This game has lots of hilarious things in it. This is my favorite SCUMM based game, you cannot die or get permanently stuck so you can try anything you want. Though you cannot be defeated this game isn't easy without a walkthrough. There is parts that require timing and also sometimes you may know what you are supposed to do but are unsure how to make it work. As with any point and click game try to pick up everything you find and talk to everybody you can. Also talk to Max, he sometimes has clues. How does a dog and bunny afford a 1960 Desoto?

funny! I loved whacking Max on whak a rat at the carnival.

I had this on CDROM as a kid, it was enjoyable and often confusing in the way that old point+click adventure games were (and sometimes still are). This GOG version runs perfectly on Win11. I chose to edit the samnmax.ini file to disable fullscreen mode. The inclusion of the original manual AND the hint book as PDFs is a great touch, as there's some lovely silly stuff in them. F5 opens the ScummVM menu to save/load/quit.

This was funny back when I played it in my young teens, and its still funny now as a middle-aged adult. Slapstick humor? Check. Unnecessary violence? Check. Nonsensical puzzle solutions? Check. All of the ingredients for a properly zany LucasArts game.
