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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
