This is a classic. I bought this one since I sold the one I had originally and wanted to play it again. For adventure lovers this is a must have.

Sam and Max had me laughing from beginning to end. I loved all of those sports meeting; Full Throttle, Grim Fandango, Monkey Island…highly recommended if you can still play them!

Wow, It’s been a long time since I’ve last played this game. during the seven years since Sam & Max graced my monitor last, it has remained as one of my favorite sports meeting of all time. It’s a point-and-click adventure, But one with witty, snappy diolauge and cartoony animation borrowed from the Hilarious Comic Books and small-lived TV series. My I sorely need to play this game again!

I’m sure a number of newcomers to the Sam n Max episodic series of 2006/2007 are curious if the original PC adventure holds up against modern standards. The uncontested answer is yes, it holds up extremely well. Sam n Max Hit the Road is a classic, and a gem of a collector’s item for adventure gaming enthusiasts. The voice acting is stellar (albeit lower audio quality to meet supplies of the time). The humor is constantly witty, the environments are gifted, and the one-liners never stop until the credits roll.
People worried about compatibility with modern operating systems / architecture need not agonize. Avid PC users will most likely get the game to run fine under Windows XP with a small work. Others who have access to an grown-up DOS based computer with any commonly used legacy sound card will have no troubles (Sound Blaster Compatible, Pro Audio 16, etc.) For those who don’t want to invest as much time into getting the game to run natively, ScummVM (Available free online) will run the game like a charm with virtually no work at all. Emulation in the form of DosBox (another free program) will allow Sam n Max to work fine as well, although requiring a small more effort and knowledge of grown-up systems.
The game manual and hint book included has a honest amount of comedic make pleased in it as well, making the entire package a splendid deal.
A few of many splendid elements of the game:
CarBomb / Battleship mini-game (“You ruined my Desoto, You hurt my Hearse!”)
The original highway surfing mini-game
Jesse James’s pickled hand
A trip into lousy early 90’s “Virtual Reality”
The tunnel of like
Snuckey’s national chain of diners / gas stations (with a cameo of Bernard from Maniac Mansion)
The original liberation of Bosco’s from thieves.
Talking dead animal heads / tribute to John Muir
Bungee jumping out of the noses of Mount Rushmore into tarpits
Traveling owing to the eddy
Whack a Mole!
If you’ve never experienced the original Sam n Max, you will be very pleased with this package. If you have experienced the original and are wondering if playing it again is worth the nostalgia regard, again, you won’t be disappointed. The first PC adventure of gamers’ favorite hyperkinetic rabbity-thingy and a talking dog was a pinnacle achievement of a genre long missed.

Sam & Max Hit the Road is a laugh riot! I truly laughed out loud many times while playing this computer game. There are too many sports meeting out there that contain things you wouldn’t want your children to see. Not so with Sam & Max. This is just excellent, clean fun with unexpected, bizarre (in a fun way) things happening. You never know what weird thing is going to come up next! A wild and eerie carnival? A giant ball of string? Bigfoot? They’re all here. It’s a game you won’t want to stop playing… it’s just too much fun!
I’ve heard that an updated version of this game might be released in the future. I certainly hope so. I’ll be the first to order it!
