Sam and Max: Hit the Road Review

[passiveMenis]

Is this a good game to play stoned?

[BroNsis2000]

when i was little i played some DOS game im not sure what it was called but the shortcut on my computer was simply called "Scuba", it was an underwater adventure and i LOVED it, i can't find anything like it other than "Diver Dan" which is not the same game, can someone help me out?

I remember when i was a kid lucasarts released a package with Sam and Max, Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island 1 +2 and demos of Monkey Iisland 3 and Grim Fandango... probably to this day still some of the greatest games i've ever played

[MtWaverlyProductions]

I found a copy of this at our local post-office once!

[casperado666]

this was one of the funniest adventures i've played, along with day of tentacle

[mackeymkay]

One of the best games out there to this day. Set ScummVM to Windows MIDI if you're on a PC, to get MIDI emulation, instead of the bleeps. The soundtrack is wonderful, melodious, live, vivid, jazzy and altogether fantastic. The dialogue and voice acting is superb (with the exception of the line "I'm still trying to figure out where I am, Sam.", but that's just something infinitesimal). And, of course, spectacular animation. A game with style. Anyone with a brain should be able to enjoy it.

You'll need one of those flash carts for it. Do some google work. :)

[frigginjoe]

I have this on my PC, but haven't touched it in years. I'll be copying the disc to play with scummVM on my Nintendo DS. :)

[DeHomunculus]

@frigginjoe i want to know how you plan on doing this too :D

[frigginjoe]

Google scummvm ds

It's great.

[DeHomunculus]

@frigginjoe i could hug you, in case i could! thanks a lot!

[frigginjoe]

Yes you could hug me, but not for more than maybe 3 seconds.

BTW Shadow of Destiny was pretty damned cool on PS2.

[DeHomunculus]

@frigginjoe also known as shadow of memories. WONDEFUL game indeed!

[nevermind89pwnz]

when i was kid i played a game and cant remember what was its name. it was first person adventure lets say and you had several wepons and one of them was like a stic you could throw some spels with. i know its not much but please give me something to start with

[evilguy0]

I'm not sure but it may be Hexen? It was developed by ID Software in the early 1990s. Look it up on Youtube, it may help (note that you can select different classes with different weapons).

I was wondering the same thing about making it work on windows vista. I have this and I used to play it a long time ago, but i tried to load it my moms' laptop with vista and it wouldnt work. is there any way to get around it?

[evilguy0]

I replied to your e-mail (if that was you).

[shotxgunwedding]

yep, that was me!

thanks a lot, Im going to try it out now!

[DIwasaki1]

how do u get the voices to work?

[evilguy0]

You may have the floppy disk version. That version has no voices apart from the introduction.

[shewbakka]

Would I be able to install this game on Windows Vista? I'd definitely pick it up if I were able. Same question with Grim Fandango. Great videos btw! Thanks in advance if you can answer my questions. :)

[evilguy0]

PS: If the 3D graphics in Grim Fandago look very glitched up then turn on the Graphic Acceleration in the SETTINGS.

[evilguy0]

??

Did any of the two comments I posted come up?

I'll PM you the details.

[leon102]

I played through this not too long ago. I've played through all of telltale games season 1 as well, and am currently playing through season 2.

[shodan404]

Sam & Max and various other LucasArts classics were alre re-released in Germany =)

And yeah, one of the best games ever, got mine to birthday when I was 15 ^^

[JamesTobiasStewart]

Nice vid, a bit difficult to here when you and the character are talking at the same time, but other than that very good.

[evilguy0]

I didn't want to make the characters too quiet otherwise you wouldn't be able to hear the great voice overs. Now watching it again I can see what you mean though. The first time I reviewed this game I used subtitles...but this is a bit boring for people watching it.

[JamesTobiasStewart]

I take you point. Like I said its not a major problem but it gets a little difficult to hear when you and them are talking over one another. Still its a good review. Thanks for replying!
