:(

Oh well... I bought a PC for nothing...

Back to playing Hit the Road on my old Mac.

I guess this is where we should write to...

[email protected]

Just sent another letter to them, it doesnt hurt to try.

Also check out www.mixnmojo.com for more info!

I wrote a letter they won't read.

http://www.petitiononline.com/LACOSA...ion-sign.html?

Someone started a petition... already has over 6000 names!

I've never signed an online petition before... but this was the one to push me over the edge!

Even though online petitions don't mean jack, I was checking out that petition you linked to and it now has over 17,000 signatures, that is not too shabby for the time its been up. Even if only half those people emailed lucasarts, I bet the pr reps are getting bugged by the emails (I've written them about the Monkey Island collector pack once in the past and I've gotten a personal response from them), could be something...maybe :).

Signed....number is approaching the 18,000 mark. :)

Unfortunately, it's a case of opportunity cost. They could make more money from a Star Wars-branded FPS or RTS than an adventure game starring characters few people today (relative to the size of gamers in general) would even recognize.

Still, I signed it and sent them an e-mail.

I completely forgot about Sam and Max Hit the Road until reading this. You guys are taking me in my way back machine here. I think a friend lent me a copy or something when I was younger because I don't have it now. But....now I want it again! Where could I buy this game for the PC? Any suggestions? I checked out Ebay but there was only one copy available. I guess I want what is called the "talkie" version too right? Anyway thanks in advance for your help.

Man, screw lucasarts.. I should pull out my old talkie original of sam and max and make copies for everyone on the board who hasn't played it so they can piss off lucas arts too lol

don't know what system you have but the talkie one on there is for Mac so be careful :)

I saw some more after revising my search and I think at least two of them are for the PC. But it seems like they go for over ten before shipping. Not sure if I want to pay that for some nostalgia but maybe that is the only way? Was hoping you guys had some inside info since you probaly know way more than me about these sort of things. Thanks again.

ok, goto best buy b&m and look for the preorder box for Armed and Dangerous.. (mine still has a few) and it's 10 bucks and it comes with a copy of sam and max that is updated to work in windows. It's still 10 bucks but it's a newer version and no shipping. that's the best i can tell you

I'm considering just buying the disc by itself, screw the preorder. :D

Lucasarts games I still own....

The Dig
All of the Monkey Island games including the PS2 game.
Full Throttle
Sam and Max
Xwing
Tie Fighter
Maniac Mansion II
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis

Soon to own....

Knights of the Old Republic
Armed and Dangerous

:)

The one on ebay is on 3.5 floppy which would not be the talkie version. I have the cd version which is the talkie edition. :)

You can't buy it by itself is the problem.. It is IN the preorder box for Armed and Dangerous.. (you don't have to actually buy armed and dangerous) and it's like paying 10 bucks for sam and max

yes and here's a size comparison... the non-talkie one is [email protected] floppies the cd version is 200 or so megs.. so there's alot of voice in there heh

Found this, but I know some of you are boycotting LucasArts so maybe I shouldn't post but here it is.........


Adventure Pack

Maybe if I can't find that preorder box this will be the way to go.

I know. I have the original 3.5" floppy version, so it would have been a step up.

Armed & Dangerous is already out anyway, and apparently the disc had an audio flaw which cuts off all the speech after a certain point. SamandMax.net has the game executable by itself on their site that allows Hit the Road to be run on current operating systems.

yep, tried it this morning and it works beautifully with no problems what so ever

I just replayed Sam And Max the other night using the ScummVM program. I cant believe I remembered how to beat sam and Max in 3 hours. Loved it! Now I am starting Day of the Tentacle Again. Bernard to the rescue!!!!!

Day of the Tentacle was such an awesome game! I also loved the sequel, Mainiac Mansion. I need to relook over some of my old classic Lucas Arts games. They were so much fun.

I also just signed the Sam and Max petition, I was 18,300 something. It's obvious people want this game.

Thanks to the original poster of this thread.....not only did I get out my "talkie" version of Sam and Max....I installed the sound update and sat down by myself at first....then my three little ones sat down with me and had a blast!!! What a fun game!!!

What the heck is Lucas thinking? They made some of the best or the best games out there!!!

This led to me installing my Xwing Collector's cd and after some tweaking with the VDMSOUND software....I got the game to work!!! Now I just need to find my joystick. Looking forward to Tie Fighter and all of the other ones I posted earlier in this thread. :)
