Sam & Max Hit the Road

This is a literal great old game that I've really enjoyed so far! The animation style, story, ambience, and humor are fantastic! I have no nostalgia factor either, and was just wanting a great classic point and click adventure/detective game. And I found it in this one!

What an entertaining and absurd point-and-click adventure. This game will keep you smiling and giggling throughout. The dialogue is clever, and the chemistry between the main characters is spot-on. It reminded me of the old animated shows I used to watch on Cartoon Network—full of bizarre scenarios and exaggerated humour. Even though I’m not familiar with other Sam & Max media, the game still evoked a nostalgic feeling. Some puzzles were genuinely challenging, as is typical in the genre. The alligator and golf puzzle, for example, gave me a tough time, as did the final puzzle of the game. But the difficulty never detracted from the fun. If other Sam & Max games maintain this level of wackiness and sharp writing, I’ll be sure to play them eventually.

I remember playing this game for he first time as a gift and found it side split splittingly funny, years later when I forgot about it, it surfaced again included wth an original Secret of Monkey Island cd rom I bought on eBay, since then I'd been playing it occasionally on SCUMMVM as the years passed and computers got less and less friendly to old games. I love this game, it's quirky, silly, brutal comedy and damned brilliant in all the ways of the classics, now all it needs is to be remade like Grim Fandango and Day Of The Tentacle! Oh and so should Monkey Island 3 (giggle)

So. Got this game on floppies. Got the game when floppy full talkie came out. Got the CD ROM version (Twice... because my "(ex)friend" "Borrowed" a copy). Bought on GOG. Yep. I have bought this game 5 times now. Ok. Little background on me. I am a Police Officer. Use quotes of this game so many times my co workers hate me. (Specially the one about driving at the start intro) Anyhow. Game review hu. Yep. Ok. Its good. Starts off easy enough then BLAM! Bigfoots and country singing! Spoilers? hu? if you haven't played this game by now you are either an idiot or an idiot. Go buy it. It costs less than a big mac meal. Leaves you satisfied for much longer. Jokes, graphics and sound still better than the telltale series. Sure its not 3D but its RETRO. Nothing bad. And under $10AU...can't ask for more (remember new games cost like $90.....and this one will last for that long and more)

All the other reviews accurately describe this game as the finest of the LucasArts point and click adventures. Great puzzles, humor, music, etc... I'm writing this review to just add one more point: This game is a window into the most awesome thing about America - the absolute crazy shit you will find if you go off the beaten path and just explore. I suspect many of the non American users on this site may not realize that many locations in the game are real places or parodies of real places. Snuckeys (Stuckeys is the real roadside chain store), Gator Golf, Frog Rocks all over the place. The Mystery Vortex (it's in Oregon) & the World's Largest Ball of Twine (actually in Minnesota). Bumpusville is a parody of Graceland. Sure, Mt. Rushmore doesn't actually have dinosaur tar pits, and although there isn't a celebrity vegetable museum, I have found all sorts of weird celebrity museums and exhibits, including one with celebrities made out of butter. Playing this game is like reliving a slightly exaggerated version of what it was like as a kid going on a family vacation in the early 1980's.
