Sam & Max Hit the Road

Sam & Max Hit the Road, released in 1993 by LucasArts, is a classic point-and-click adventure game that follows the zany exploits of Sam, a laid-back canine detective, and Max, his hyperactive "rabbity-thing" sidekick. Based on Steve Purcell’s cult comic series, the game is packed with absurd humor, quirky characters, and bizarre puzzles that take players on a wild road trip across the United States.

The story begins when a bigfoot escapes from a carnival, prompting Sam and Max to crisscross the country investigating strange roadside attractions, mysterious disappearances, and eccentric suspects. Along the way, players solve inventory-based puzzles, interact with offbeat characters, and experience LucasArts’ signature humor and charm.

Sam & Max Hit the Road is celebrated for its witty writing, vibrant cartoon-style graphics, and fully voiced dialogue, making it a standout in the adventure game genre. Its irreverent tone, clever puzzles, and hilarious interactions have cemented it as one of the most beloved and iconic adventure games of the 1990s.
