They even helped republish the long out of print comic series which I enjoyed reading at last. Many many years later I got a new copy of Hit The Road and then Telltale Games was born and 3 "series" of games happened which was awesome. Sam and Max have always held a special place in my heart, like all the Lucasarts adventure titles really. It took months but FINALLY we stumbled upon someone selling a copy of Sam and Max, they were on the other side of the city but my dad was willing to drive to shut me up about this damn game.Īnd so I finally got my precious copy of Sam and Max hit the road and I played the hell out of it till I got horribly critically stuck (remember, this was 1994, long before the era of game walkthroughs) and then I lent it to a "friend" who never game me my disks back -_- jerk.
