When I heard about this topic, I just HAD to post.::Talking like a total valley girl:: But seriously folks...If you couldn't tell by my avatar, I'm a Samolnmax (say it out loud) fanatic. Sam and Max Hit the Road is easily my favoite PC adventure game..Possbily my favorite PC game of all time, though MechWarrior 2 also ranks highly with me. Just got Grim Fandango and am enjoying it immensly (though damn, the puzzles are hard.) Back to Sam and Max: This game has got more personality in its first cutscene than all these friggin' Diablo/Warcraft wannabe games that people seem to like combined. For me, the graphic adventure that Sam and Max epitomizes is the heart of PC gaming. It harkins back to a time when game quality meant more than graphic whoring and lots of "options." If only something this cool, clever and FUN would come out again. Bless Lucasarts for this game and supporting this genre. As for the comics: GET THEM! GO GET SURFING THE HIGHWAY! It's even better than the game! The cartoon was great too. So much of the humor shot past the kiddie audience that Fox catered to. I guess that's why it only lasted a season. Anywho...I'll leave with a quote
Sam: What's the good word, little buddy?
Max: Triumverate.
"Max: Should I confront, subdue, and pummel the suspected perpetrator Sam?
Sam: Sick 'em up little buddy."
