unlabelledView post →Decades ago, I played a game called "Sam & Max Hit the Road." Early on, one of the characters reaches into a cartoon-style mouse hole in the wall, and pulls out an item that's just a massive wad of cash. The item description was "It's more money than you'll ever need." More games should do that.

unlabelledView post →I was eight when Sam & Max Hit the Road came out. Playing this with my *own* eight-year-old last night felt like I was walking into the past, except Lost in Play feels like a modern adventure game that's deeply approachable for kids and families. Great stuff.

The game was canceled and the team was laid off. Many of that team eventually ended up at Telltale. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCqD...

unlabelledView post →Rolled out of bed and #RandomGameSaturday is the most obvious thing on my bookshelf, Sam & Max Hit the Road! This game helped develop my comedic voice in writing and performing probably more than anything else, and getting it to run with a boot disk on a home PC was an important learning for me.

The various arcade games in Space Quest. The in-game Mac Plus in Cosmic Osmo. It was like gaming squared

unlabelledView post →Just in case you haven't seen it. It's a very early draft of the Maniac Mansion gang in the Dott style from around 2007. It was made by Mister L. You can see that some character were recreations of characters from Sam & Max Hit the Road. #retro #pixelart #game

No idea if it's going anywhere but it's been fun building & learning again, de-rusting old art and scripting skills.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This works GREAT on the steam deck and should NOT be rated "unsupported". You just need to bind an unused button to Ctrl F5 to bring up the menu to save/load/quit. Like many older games on Steam, it's just loading a ScummVM virtual machine that sips power so the battery lasts ages. (I don't understand why most scummVM games have mixed compatibility ratings for the Deck, they all work great, especially the point and clicks) It's awesome revisiting the classics. Could have easily found a free…
