Believe it or not, Jirard. There was a Sam and Max tv animated show that was aired from October 1997 to April 1998 on the Fox Kids block, it had 24 episodes in the only season it had.

When I interviewed at LucasArts, over a decade ago, I found out they had a Sam and Max 2 and Full Throttle 2 almost at completion but were cancelling them. They told me they were pretty bad. Even so, I would have loved to see them. (If you were wondering, I did not get a job offer at that time. Still a fun interview.)

[@magnumcornetto]

While the Telltale game were fine, I was never a fan of Sam and Max (or the Monkey Island crew or Ben) being translated to 3D. I feel like they lose a lot of character. 2D animation may have its limitations, but so does 3D.

Agreed. The 3rd season ended in such a weird timey-wimey way, and I want to see where things go from there...

[@Vikumax]

Personally I feel its better this way. I like some of Telltale's current games but I feel Sam & Max don't feel right with their "Your choices matter" games.

[@oberstul1941]

3 hours, huh? Flashback to my late childhood when I spent almost 1 month trying to beat this game with my father; absolutely clicking everything with everything in hopes we'll beat the puzzles - we didn't have internet back then, or a walkthrough. Ah, memories.

[@yellowstarproductions6743]

Good for you

[@DemonStink]

This was such a big part of my childhood! Such an amazing experience this game was for me. Thanks so much Jirard for making a video on it!

[@yellowstarproductions6743]

Agreed.

[@WeaselOnaStick]

You wouldn't believe how happy I was when I saw this video show up from "Sam and Max" search. I'm just so glad that this franchise is not forgotten even when it's relevant right now more than ever.

[@Agamemnon2]

This is still one of my favorite old DOS games. I wish they made a remaster or a sequel of this classic.

[@yellowstarproductions6743]

Agreed.

[@Excuvator]

hmm... It´s a little sad that you only mentioned Telltale Games as a modern Point-and-Click Studio, but what about the great adventures from Daedalic Entertainment like the Deponia Series. Daedalic is making great and clever games with an awesome humor. You should totaly try them.

[@toongrowner1]

I know right? They make such great games. I still play the deponia series from time to time (all 4 of them). Also can I highly recommend Edna and harvey the break out and a new beginning.

[@Excuvator]

toongrowner1 I only completed Deponia 1 so far and played a new beginning till the midgame, also started Edna & Harvey. I really enjoyed The whispered World with its deep sarcasm!!

[@toongrowner1]

Play the entire Deponia series, belive me, it gets more and more funny and more and more epic. Just be warned, in deponia 3 or 4, there is one small puzzle that is really really mean, like you will feel so trolled if you figure it out. Fun fact: In the german version of deponia 2 and 3, a famous german Let's Player named "Gronkh" gets actually a voice role (he is kinda best bud with the creator), but he actually does a pretty nice job. (He was also Joker in the Lego Batman movie, but this was not really fitting to be honest)

[@Excuvator]

I´m still waiting for their Playstation Release (the old Trophy Hunter Gene´s ;) As a fellow german I know Gronkh (but i do not like Let´s Plays so I do not watch his Vid´s). I think his Joker Imitation was fine. Could have been way worse xD But be sure my steam libary is stuffed with Deadalic Stuff, I just need the right mindset to play it^^ I also liked the "The Black Eye"-Series

[@toongrowner1]

Well I used to watch him for a while, but yeah, I don't like to watch plays either, I rather play games by myself. ^^; Yeah, his Joker was okay, certainly did not ruin the movie, but compared to the voice used in the trailer (which was prof-voice actor, who allready voiced the joker a few times), it could have been a bit better as well. ^^; I barely play on steam, the last thing I played there was cuphead. XD But point and click adventures I usually have physical on CD, even old timers like Monkey Island XD

Having watched you stream through this the game sure did give me some of those 'exhale through your nose a little harder than normal' laughs. Some.

[@tsukikumoon2890]

I remember playing this with my dad as a kid and loving it to death. All the classic games that came from Lucasarts are ridiculously funny and challenging but not too challenging to not have that "Aha!" moment. Some of the best fun happened with this game.

[@kutzkej]

There is no button for “love”. I was about to ask you last week on a stream if you were doing any telltale games, but thought better of it- didn’t want to ask some incessantly annoying question. This is way better.

[@Dorelaxen]

Having been a fan of Sam and Max from their comic book days, Hit the Road is and will always be one of my all time favorite games, and easily my favorite point and click game of all time.

[@joshfernandez4595]

Sam and Max have been awesome, from the games to the comics and the short-run cartoon. Definitely a nice topic to cover with a good amount of nostalgia mixed in!

[@coolkid1597]

I love Sam and Max, I just found this first game to be far too obtuse for me to finish. It basically required a guide. But it does a lot of things very well, as you point out. I would love to see the Telltale Sam and Max covered someday!

[@Griffon29]

Oh, man, this game was my childhood. I absolutely LOVED it back then and I still do today. Definitely worth a buy, and the comic is worth checking out if you can still find it.

[@TheCreepypro]

man this was good to watch you may have had your rose tinted glasses on the last time you did this but that was still one of my favorite episodes of the old completionist and this one is every bit as good as the old one great job good sir!

[@captainkengo829]

Hey Jirard, I just wanted to say that I’ve enjoyed the completionist more than much of the other KZbin videos I usually watch. Mostly because your videos give a good amount of insight as to whether or not a game or company is willing to give their audience a reward for going above and beyond with their product. But besides that a lot of the jokes on the completionist are pretty damn funny. Like the 3d dot heroes bit with the fish sword it still gets me even to this day. Anyways, I’d love to see you complete bayonetta 2. Stay cool and keep doing what you do

[@mcs_drinkwater]

Alright! A Sam & Max game.

[@retrogamebrasil]

I just love LucasArts games... I still have all of the original ones I bought on the 90's complete in box. (I bought those again on GOG recently because they were very cheap and now I can play without grabbing all those CDs)

The look in Jirard’s eyes when deflating that ballon... please don’t kill me.

[@ShiraVT]

If you love humor/puns, try the King's Quest series. They are amazing, and would make for an awesome point and click video series. :)

[@MacJulian88]

Yes! This is one of my childhood games. Replayed it less than a month ago and still found it to be great. The characters are outrageous and the puzzles aren't nearly as frustrating as you'd expect for a point 'n click adventure from the early or mid 90s. Some of the dialogue is laugh out loud good with the way it complements the absurd situational comedy going on. Truly worth the replay, and definitely recommended for every fan of the genre (which I don't even count myself as, and yet it remains a classic in my eyes). And the visuals have aged extremely well, too!

I'm almost 3 years too late, but I feel it's worth noting: HIghway Surfing is optional as well, and by no means required to continue the game. It's an optional activity on the map that never has to be done. Of course that story is different if your title is The Completionist, but for non-completionists, they can skip out on this just fine. "Stemmle: I'd either make Highway Surfing a better mini-game, or chuck it altogether. Thank goodness we were smart enough not to make it an integral part of the story."
