Sam & Max Hit the Road

It’s hard to pick a favorite when it comes to Lucasarts adventures but if I had to choose, it would be Hit the Road. I’ve been a lifelong fan of the comic and cartoon that Sam & Max come from and it would be hard to ever get a better adaptation than this for a game. The voice actors really bring these ridiculous characters to life and the humor is dark and witty. Dropping the verb interface for a simple icon based system makes it easy to enjoy everything the game has to offer.

This is my first time playing through Sam & Max Hit The Road, and I've gotta say, I'm surprised by how little I had heard of this game up until I came to GOG. This game was really charming and I am very happy that I played through it. That said, it was over far too quickly for me. I beat the game in around 6 hours without a walkthrough and that's because even though the humor may be somewhat adult at times, the game is still designed for children in terms of difficulty. That's not really a problem as I still got stumped two or three times during the game, but I would have compensated for the lower difficulty of the puzzles by having more environments to explore. Still, it was a very memorable game, and I'll treasure Sam & Max Hit the Road as one of my favorite Point & Click adventure games, as I am a huge fan of the comic book-style / cartoony niche of the genre. I rarely laugh at jokes, in-game or otherwise, but Sam & Max got me a few times which surprised me quite a bit. If you think your sense of humor is 'dumb', you enjoy cartoon art styles and character, and you enjoy solving funny, cartoony but definitely logical inventory puzzles, I'd say you should give Sam & Max Hit the Road a shot, even at its low full price of $5.99

I loved this game as much as I love pretty much every Lucasarts games. It's crazy, it's satiric, it's a lot of pretty much anything. You'll laugh and you'll have good times solving this crazy adventure of a DOG and a RABBIT. Hilarious, isn't?

This was a PC classic, just like Day of the Tentacle. You have to love Sam & Max's humor and the silliness of the storyline. A few bumpy puzzles to figure out, but overall a fun game to tackle in a weekend!

A great little piece of nostalgia gaming from back when Lucasarts made point and clicks. Leave logic at the door when trying to clear some of the puzzles as you work to uncover the mystery of where a frozen bogfoot went.
