Okay, I don't know if there's a thread for this game or not, but I started one anyway.
Anyway, this thread is for the classic LucasArts graphic adventure game, Sam and Max Hit the Road. I think it's time this game got the recognition it deserves, don't you?
Feel free to talk about the original point-and-click exploits of Steve Purcell's canine shamus and lagomorph companion here... don't be shy!

I'm not so sure about this thread.

By the way, I heard a rumor that Telltale is planning on bringing the Hit the Road voices back. Check this post on Telltale's message board if you don't believe me:

In this post, "Chuck", a Telltale staff member, claims that the company is "holding the Hit the Road actors hostage". Could it be for a remake of an existing Sam and Max product? Or an all-new Sam and Max series entirely? Or are they just holding them hostage? Or are they in reality not holding them hostage and just saying they're holding them hostage just to mess with people's heads? My money's on the latter, but in this day and age, anything can happen!
They already changed their Max once, due to the actor getting sick.

I still don't know why they couldn't use the original voices from Hit the Road in the cartoon series. I mean, it's not like they haven't done children's cartoons before. Heck, Bill Farmer's the current voice of Disney's Goofy, for Pete's sake!
That's not actually the Hit the Road voice actor, though. I believe he's the current voice of Goofy, which means he's probably stupidly expensive as far as voice actors go.
I don't think there was anything wrong with the Season voice actors, but the voice acting in the original game was definitely the high point for me. I actually don't think it holds up that well, however. At least not as much as the other Lucasarts adventures do. It starts out great, and has several fantastic setpieces/scenes, but everything in-between is kinda boring, and the puzzle design isn't great. Also, I really could do without the entire sasquatch storyline.
Edit: Beaten on the Goofy bit

Also because man, I love Sam and Max a lot, but I love basically all of the others more.
Pyrotechnics!
Delicious rodents!
That said, I actually like the Telltale series more than Hit the Road. I know I have the patience to play through an entire 12-15 hour long (without walkthrough) adventure game of yore, but I also realize that not everybody does. Also the new voices are better.
"We are useful!"

Not often do heroes get saved by spontanious combustion.
Speaking of the old cartoon, which I vaguely remember, here's a cool rundown of some of the funniest moments on the show. I really need to get it on DVD someday.
It even has Mack Salmon.
No? But I own the 360 versions, so...

They had better things to do.
No seriously, they got the Monkey Island license and they're focused on that first.

What do you think, people? Is it a good idea?
"Remember our old car?"
"I said I was sorry!"
I have to use the bathroom.

Oh god, I can hear the Snuckey's elevator music in my head.
There's a lot of reasons why that'll never happen. Primarily because Adult Swim will never do anything that makes sense.
And what are the others, if you say there's a lot of reasons? Hmm? I'd like to see you name them!
Okay . . .
Off the top of my head here's the biggest two I'd go to an Adult swim thread in one of the other forums and ask there if you need more so as not to derail this topic further -
-It costs money but will not make them money. There's a reason they do their shows in flash and charge 50 bucks for DVDs and ancillary merch. They'd have to split that with whoever holds Sam and Max's license and they won't do that. There's a reason they barely acknowledge they air anime.
- Advertisers won't like it. Despite being fairly good the first Sam and MAx cartoon bombed. Advertisers look that sort of thing up.
Um, I was going to suggest that they do the show in Flash anyway. I mean, it's not like they haven't done that before.

And why did the first Sam and Max cartoon "bomb"? Well, I think it was because there was no Adult Swim back then. Steve Purcell, for some reason, chose to make it a children's cartoon instead.
Compare this to Duckman, which aired late at night on USA, had lots of swearing and adult situations, and lasted for four seasons.
I think the main reason a Sam and Max cartoon isn't being made for Adult Swim today is because there aren't many people putting in the effort to actually ask for one.
So I ask all the people reading this forum... if you actually want Sam and Max to be revived on Adult Swim, speak up. You deserve to be heard. Don't be shy!
Are you like twelve?
No, I'm 31.
And I think you're only posting stuff like this just to discourage me, and I would like to see you not do anything like that again.
And like I said before, if any of you out there want Sam and Max revived on Adult Swim, don't be afraid to speak up. (And not say stuff like "are you twelve?", okay?)
Your logic lacks what's the phrase ? Basis in reality. My assumption of your age is solely based on that.
(By the way, about those three games... I found out about them by browsing through the game's dialogue. I think they were planned to be in the original game but ended up getting cut at the last minute.)
Shit
