Sam & Max: Save the World - Episode 1: Culture Shock

This game broke me. It broke my mind. The point where you have to discredit the renaimated statue of Abraham Lincoln by making him read "cue cards" and setting him up with a girlfriend... It killed my sanity. And thank god for that, it was really starting to cramp my style. Classic adventure gaming at it's weirdest and funniest.

Whizzer - "Hey don't arrest me, we live in a free country!" Sam - "This guy's suffering from some pretty severe delusions."

(note says 3.5 but I have 13 hours for entire season 1 according to each episode time played) A nice puzzle adventure game like monkey island though with more chaotic bunnies. It does have those "try something on everything" moments though most of the puzzles are easy enough to know what you need to do. In order to get it to work (each time you want to play) [ for both season 1 and season 2 episodes] 1. fresh install 2. go to properties 3. set launch option to -windowed 4. launch game (should launch then stop) 5. go to file and edit preferences (I used notepad++ but some say you can do it with notepad) 6. you should be able to find window0, if not repeat steps 1-4. 7. change window0 to window1 (not fully sure why this works, just does) 8. save file and clear launch option. 9. enjoy game (note if you stop playing and restart, have to uninstall and repeat steps 1-8 again.) 10. talk to ma

Disclaimer: Steam only shows the play time for the first episode. Short version: 85% TellTale’s first take on Sam & Max starts slow but builds into the familiar hilarious absurdity that characterises the Freelance Police. It also shows the ingenuity of the developers, who managed to build a funny, entertaining adventure game on a small budget and even smaller playing areas. Long version: Sam & Max Save the World is one of the earliest point ‘n’ clicks made by TellTale Games, where we can find many of the elements that later bloomed into their staple adventure game formula. The developers obviously had to operate on a small budget: the graphics and animation are mundane and the playing field usually consists of the same neighbourhood with one additional area in each episode. Therefore, they had to rely on sheer creativity to keep things interesting. Every joke is spot-on and it is eas

This series is FANTASTIC. I have played the other Telltale Games and even the original Sam & Max, and I adore this series. This first season is the weakest entry in the series, (with Devil's Playhouse contrastly being one of the best adventure games out there), but the series gets better and better with each episode. However, this does have a hard time running on Windows 10, and there is no patch for it from Telltale. If you don't feel like fixing the first two seasons yourself, at least go buy Season 3. From the excellent writing to the likable characters to the award-winning music to the excellent voice acting - including Roger Jackson of Powderpuff Girls and Scream fame - you can't miss this series. I love it, and a potential Season 4 is my most wanted sequel in gaming, (since Psychonauts 2 just got funded). EDIT: There IS a way to easily fix this on your Windows 10 computers! What

The titles in Sam & Max: Season One AKA 'Save the World' are traditional LucasArts-style adventure games through and through, except with less inane moon logic. They're also notable for being generally regarded as the first ever successful example of episodic game development (apart from Half-Life 2, if you choose to ignore the lack of Episode 3.) This classic version doesn't work "out of the box" on Windows 10. You'll have to attempt to run them in compatibility mode, or use this guide to try and get them running. Other than that, they're pretty solid games that are worth playing today especially if you're new to adventure games, with puzzles that generally aren't too frustrating and generous helpings of trademark Sam & Max wit to be had, although you know it's from another age when Max uses the word "gyp" at a handful of points. Each episode will last you 2 to 3 hours individually, bu
