Sam & Max: Hit the Road screenshots

Title screen

Intro: nefarious plans!..

Our heroes in full-screen glory during the intro

A stylish-black white collage of scenes greets you before you start playing

Starting in the office. Sam and Max like sharing their impressions

Outside of the office. Anything can happen in the world of Sam and Max - including kittens talking in gruff macho voices

Talking to Max. Note the dialogue icons. The duck icon can be used to say weird things - just like now

Sam comments upon an object he sees in the store

A minigame: jump over obstacles and steer the car to avoid them!

You can pick up Max and use him as an action icon. Try that on different objects for humorous remarks

At the carnival

Your inventory, consisting of neatly arranged tiles

Engaging in a conversation with the Human Enigma - a man with a water tap instead of a head. All he says is "Drip" - albeit in various intonations!

Talking the Love Tunnel. Hmm, I wonder what lies behind that secret door?..

Minigame: Whack-A-Rat! How utterly ingenious!..

This is the World of Fish. As you can see, Max will freely walk around and poke at things regardless of Sam's actions

Talking to the tour guard at World's Largest Ball of Twine

On top of the Ball of Twine. An example of using an inventory item - don't worry, this is not a solution to a puzzle!..

Using the binoculars. Hmm... how can I stop them from spinning wildly?..

Conversing with a possible Sikh who can bend tools with the power of his mind, and also swears a lot

You can play the game in stylish black and white!..

Welcome to the Gator Golf! Alligators and golf - a match made in heaven!..

Some scenes in the game firmly follow the spirit of good old cartoon violence

Outside of the Mystery Vortex - my favorite location in the game!

I expected Sam to say that! Notice how both Sam and Max grow and shrink uncontrollably

You navigate between locations by using this map. Locations begin to pile up as you approach the final third or so of the game

Max can be very eloquent sometimes, and also emotionally fragile

Welcome to the Bumpusville - one of the game's major locations

Listening to a hilariously bad song performed by Conroy Bumpus, an evil country singer!

A very funny show performed by mounted animal heads, with the word "Edutainment" suddenly appearing - only in this game

Sometimes you need to be creative to get what you want

This puzzle involves programming a robot to perform certain actions. It is actually quite easy

Sam is fighting a fearsome dragon in virtual reality!

You can try to "pick up" people. Sam will sometimes respond to that

The heroes of the game will often spout complete nonsense

Sam makes a wise remark during a dialogue with a bratty kid

Displaying an active Talk icon in this marvelous world of vegetables

What a disguise! Ingenious!..

Sometimes, there are too many dialogue topics to fit on one screen
