Sam & Max: Season 1

Episodes 1 to 6

Sam & Max: Season 1 - Episodes 1  - Culture Shock

In the amazingly 3D office

Oh dear, a rat’s got your phone. And he wants some bloody Swiss cheese. The nerve! Grab the Boxing Glove, grab the Bowling Ball, open the closet door, use Sam’s gun to shoot the cheese, take a piece of the now-Swiss Cheese and place it near the rat hole.

The pesky little rodent will go for it and end up being interrogated. During the conversation start off with Sam’s threats, cunningly switch to Max’s, and when the rat complains about his headache switch back to Sam to ask about said headache. Mr. Jimmy Two Teeth will inadvertently reveal his weakness (that’s.. uhm… heights). Click on Max’s portrait and select the “hang out to dry option”. Nice work. Got your phone back. Leave the place, preferably by clicking on the door.


Bringing justice to celebrity vandals

Better start by gearing up. Go to Bosco’s. Talk to Bosco the slightly paranoid and security-obsessed shop owner. Ask him about the munchkin terrorist, then say you've got it. Tell him you want to buy something, ask him what he's got, then about the item behind the counter. Now you’ll want the Tear Gas Launcher, he’ll want 10,000$. Easy.

Leave the shop, head left and grab the Spray Paint from the car behind the DeSoto. Hop into the DeSoto to drive around and pull a few poor motorists over. Enjoy. Now, click the gun icon and shoot a car’s taillights. Enjoy. Click on the megaphone and actually pull someone over. The motorist’s offence is obvious: hideously broken taillight! Get the Bag of Money, head back to Bosco’s and get yourself a nice tear Gas Launcher (of sorts). Enjoy.

Now, to apprehend the irritating terrorist. Take the piece of Cheese next to Bosco. Head left and use the bathroom. Quickly place the Cheese into the kid's basket before he exits the bathroom. The security system will handle the rest. Exit the (in-)convenience store.

Head left, past your office and enter Sybil's lot. Exhaust all conversation topics or end it outright. It really doesn’t matter and I don’t really care. This isn’t the real Sybil. It’s another of them former brat stars. Open the closet door to release the real Sybil. Good. Ask Sybil (the real one and not Peepers trying to be a she) about “charges”, then about what Sam and Max can do to help. Obviously use your new Onion Tear Gas launcher on Peepers and then quickly hit him with the Boxing Glove. Sweet. The ensuing cutscene will reveal a method to cure hypnosis. Now, do as I tell you and leave Sybil's office.
Return to the (in-) convenience store and click on Whizzer to wake him up. Exit the inconvenience store.

And now, it being down to the last foe, it’s graffiti time. Three cheers for Art then! Use the Spray Paint on the graffiti just outside Sam and Max's office building (it might be obscured by the staircase). Head back to the illustrious S&M office and look out of the window by clicking on it. Drop the BOWLING BALL from your inventory on Specs' head. Head back down and click on Specs (who is unconscious) to cure him.

A chase sequence will ensue. It’s slightly arcadey, but fun and easy. Just avoid all the videos thrown out of the van to close the distance. The trick is to trail the van. When it swerves left or right just follow its direction. Stay right behind it to avoid all boxes, even when it's far away. When you're close enough, click on the gun icon and shoot at the tyres. The van will stop and you, oh most racing player, will learn about the mastermind's hideout.

Towards the end…

Nice place. Shame it’s all locked up. Grab an Admission Form from the stash located next to the ticket booth. Enter the lovely DeSoto and safely head for the office. Enter Sybil's place and show her the Admission Form, then end the conversation. Examine the Symptoms Form and note down all three symptoms (they may vary from game to game). Talk to Sybil again and get some free psychoanalysis.

Take the inkblot test first.

Answer five questions with the best description that matches the first symptom.
1.
Pennies on the eyes of a dead mime (money)
A pair of oxen boxing in a rowboat
Susan Lucci holding an Emmy (fame)
The results of the last time I let Max drive
2.
A bunch of bacteria playing basketball
Pigeons on a the marquee at Mann's Chinese Theater (fame)
An SUV crashing into an opulent mansion (money)
The St. Valentine's Day massacre
3.
A squirrel that got run over twice
My uncle Louie's moth-eaten wallet (money)
Coded love notes from space aliens
An autograph written in Braille (fame)
4.
Elephants at the New York stock exchange (money)
A cheering crowd of lanky albinos (fame)
The exhaust manifold of a bread truck
Twenty nuns with machine guns.
5.
That blotchy thing a flashbulb does to your eyes (fame)
An orangutan escaping from the trunk of a DeSoto
A war between two teams of abstract shapes
A debit card fed through a document shredder (money)

Get them right, and Sybil will check the first symptom in the form. Now, you’ll usually need to exhibit a violent reaction to dentistry during the free association test. A rather normal thing to do, but it works. Just pull your gun out and attempt to shoot Sybil whenever she mentions anything related to dentistry. This is usually the second word she mentions and key words include: crown, drill, filling, flouride and polish. Mind you, you will fail the test if you're being violent when a non-dentistry word is mentioned. Oh, and the Boxing Glove can also be used on Sybil as a substitute method, but not the Launcher.

The third test involves a dream analysis. Things couldn’t be simpler:
You merely have to dream about items related to the third symptom. (To exit your dream at any time, just click on the open window or office door.)
If the third symptom is: a need to know your peer's age - choose a birthday cake and Max
marry your mom - choose a wedding cake and you (Sybil)
Now that you’ve made it into the certified loonies club, leave Sybil's office and head for Brady's hideout. Use the Symptoms Form on the form reader to open the right gate. Enter the building. After the cutscene, Max will end up at the inconvenience store.

… the … err… Almost Last Act of the Game

Grab the Cheese from the table next to the counter. You’ll enter your dreamworld again. Only this time, it’s infested. You’ll have to make that irritating sod Brady Culture disappear. Talk to Max’s head. Pull out your gun and shoot at the one way sign next to the open office door, thus turning the room upside down. Use (in a very loose sense of the term) Max's head on his body. One Brady’s gone.

To turn off the fan, use the light switch located next to the one way sign. Now, take the Coat Hanger from the top of the television. Two more Bradys down. Open the closet door, confront a cheesy Brady and quickly use the Bicycle Pump. Your dear rat will do the rest. That’s it, you’re a free man .. errr… dog… err… anthropomorphic canine. No more Brady in your head!

Back in Bosco’s, end the conversation with Bosco and head for Sybil's office. Talk to Sybil and asks if she can help. She’ll provide with a Helmet Diagram. Leave her place and head back to your office. Grab the Coat Hanger from the top of the television and head for Bosco’s inconvenience store. Give the Helmet Diagram and then the Coat Hanger to Bosco. Now, leave the inconvenience store and hop into your DeSoto. There’s silly work afoot.


The Final Act (definitely)

Let’s be brief now. Enter the building through the right gate. Sam will wear the device automatically.
Click on the Soda Poppers and select become... Brady Culture!
The worship option will appear. Select worship... me!
Click on the Soda Poppers again and select attack... me!
…THE END…

Sam & Max: Season 1 - Episodes 3: The Mole, The Mob and The Meatball

The third episode of the Sam and Max series puts our crazy detective friends face to face with the ferocious, cruel, vicious Toy Mafia. While Sam does most of the action, Max is once again the funniest inexhaustible rabbity thing sidekick you’ll ever meet. With this third addition he gets even punchier, sarcastic comment lines meant to make laugh till you drop. Nothing can scare the cute buddies, but nevertheless they’re bound to need your guidance in cracking this case.
 

The Office
Watch the introductory video to get your first clue on the story in this episode. Do notice that Max was playing with an Ace of Spades card. Feel free to click around the office for things that tell the Freelance Police detectives’ story thus far. Once you had your fun here, just exit through the door to the left of your screen. You now get to the street. Make Sam take out the Big Gun from the inventory and shoot the One Way sign to cause an accident (if you haven’t done this in the previous episodes or you want to do it again). Make your way to the beloved detectives’ car – their very own DeSoto Chrysler – parked just on the left corner of the street. Head to the Ted E. Bear Free-Mafia Playland and Casino.

Ted E. Bear Free-Mafia Playland and Casino
Get greeted by Lovey Bear and than talk to him about everything and receive your first time customers’ free tokens. Do notice the detectives’ remark about his bear mask. Behind Lovey Bear you’ll notice an arcade game called “Whack-Da-Ratz”. There is also a panel with instructions on how to play. Head over there and insert a token to play. You’ll need to use your inventory Big Gun to shoot at least 20 of the red colored rat cards. This should be fun. Get started as there’s no strategy on how to do it. Shoot everything if you want, as you are not taken any points for shooting some innocents too. Once you hit 20 of the “singing” rodents you’re awarded with a Ted E. Bear Magnet. Got it? Let’s move on with the games. Go to the middle of the room (right) and notice the characters at the poker table. Accept Leonard’s invitation to play. Deal a hand or two and notice that Leonard is concentrating on something. Well, there’s no way to beat him at this time, so let’s move on. Going a little further to the right you’ll notice the back door guarded. The guard will ask you for a password. Feel free to try anything out, but you can’t know the pass just yet. Towards the lower right corner of the screen notice a One-Armed Bandit slots-like machine. Insert a token to play. A clue Sherlock: the machine doesn’t give you any prize, but it does make a pink headed bear come out the back door and quickly provides the password to get back in. Unfortunately you can’t hear what he says. Maybe it’s time to pay your old pal Bosco a visit. Exit the casino.

The neighborhood
Enter Bosco’s Inconvenience. Catch up with the pal that now tries to hide under a French identity. Talk about everything and notice that he has a sale on a miniature listening device. Special prize just for you – 10 million dollars. Well, neither you nor your little white friend have that kind of money on you. But you do remember that this was the exact sum that Leonard was willing to bet at the poker table. He definitely cheated. You just need to prove yourself a better cheater. Remember the card Max was playing with at the beginning of the story. Exit Bosco’s Inconvenience and enter your office. Get the Ace of Spades that felt on the floor next to the rat hole (the right wall of the office). Exit the office and take the DeSoto back to the casino.

Casino part 2
Look at the clown face that marks the entrance door. Notice the big shiny red nose. What do you know? Leonard’s face is seen perfectly from here. This must be how he cheats. Use your Ace of Spades

on the nose. It sticks. Wonderful. Now it’s time to play poker. Leonard will think he has a better card than you as he sees the ace. So all you need to do is bet one token to get the big pot of 10 million. Once you ruin Leonard, exit the casino and head straight for Bosco’s Inconvenience. Purchase the listening device. It turns out to be a bug… literally. Whee! Exit Bosco’s and get back to the casino.

Head to the back door and send the “organic listening device” to stay comfortably on the nice guard at the door (he’ll actually get to the wall behind the guard). Now gamble again at the One-Handed Bandit and watch the pink bear rush out the door. Once he’s out of the picture get the bug back. You now have the password: “Leave the gun. Take the cannolis.” Proudly tell the pass to the guard so you can enter the back office. Chuckles the pink bear greets you here. Tell him you’re interested in the job. He’ll point out that you must take care of 3 little favors to be accepted into the organization.

- the “Lean on” job involves you taking boxed teddies to Bosco’s and display them on the front table
- the “Whack” job is all about viciously killing Sybil (they want plenty of blood to send out a message)
- the “Recover” job involves a certain famous Meatball Sandwich

Be sure to click on every assignment so they are active. Now you can leave the office and get going on these jobs. Notice the poker table is now empty. Where might that Leonard character go to? Leave the casino.

The Office part 2
Go to your own office as you remember there was something fishy about Jimmy Two-Teeth. As you enter the office you notice Leonard trying to negotiate the sale of the sandwich to Jimmy. As Sam tries to convince him to lay down the weapon, click on the Max dialog icon to notice that the gun is actually a fake. Now that you tied the cheater to the chair it’s “Yo’ Mama’s” jokes time. Ok, so it’s more like matching time. Here it goes. Yo’ Mama’s…

… so fat – she’s got more folds than an origami accordion!
… so radiant – if she fell in nuclear waste, no one would notice!
… so perky – the only time she’s low is at a limbo contest!
… so thrifty – she brings coupons to the penny arcade!
… so vulgar – her mouth would make a longshoreman blush!
… so punctual – she showed up early for her own funeral!

Leonard finally cracks and he points you out that he hid the sandwich in the One-Armed Bandit slots machine and removed his arm. You get the arm and live him all tied up in your office. One job is half-done.

Bosco’s Inconvenience
Notice Cuddly Bear (the dealer) pretending to read the newspaper by the entrance door of the store. He ignores you if you try to talk to him. Enter Bosco’s. Tell Bosco the Toy Mafia is just outside. He’ll get all distracted with creating fantastic theories on that while watching the guy through his goggles. Place the Teddy Bear box on the display table in the front to see how the alarm goes off and the box is sucked in and thrown out on the street by Bosco’s newest Anti-Delivery System B-Tad part 2. Don’t worry, Max gets the box back. Time to use your Ted E. Bear Magnet on the surveillance camera (slightly to the left). As you place the magnet, the camera gets sucked in. And out it goes. Now you can safely place the toy box on the front table. Watch the hilarious video that follows.

Sybil’s
As you enter the place notice the small webcam on the cactus to the left of the door (bottom left corner of the screen). Go to Sybil’s desk and notice she’s drinking coffee, but she’s totally distracted from this action. She just drinks it “mechanically”. Take the cup of coffee and talk to Sybil about her new job and everything. Exit her place and head to Bosco’s. Go to the back (upper left corner of the screen) and fill the mug with ketchup. That should cover for the “plenty of blood” effect. Exit Bosco’s and get back to Sybil’s. Use the ketchup-filled cup on her. As she takes the cup to drink shoot the mug with your Big Gun (the Cap Gun won’t do). Your actions are viewed on the webcam. Then Max eats up the webcam so the Mafia doesn’t notice Sybil is coming back.

Casino part 3
Time to get the third job done too. Head to the back and put the bandit arm back on the One-Armed Bandit. Use the tokens to gamble. Surprise! Here comes the renowned sandwich. Chuckles shows up and if you already completed the other two tasks he invites you to the back office.

Huge surprise here. Don Ted E. Bear turns out to be the mole. As you say the code phrase he’ll just let you know that he decided to switch sides. A car chase starts. The gangsters seem to have bullet proof tires, so it’s useless to fire at them. Luckily there’s an advertising panel hanging just above the street from place to place. Shoot it to cause a small bear accident. You’re now returned to the back door office to take out the mole, but the office is empty. Time to search for clues or just head directly to the Sinister Door labeled “Do Not Enter”.

The Toy Bear Factory
A short animated sequence follows, which makes you aware that you are supposed to pretend to be hypnotized by the small toy bear. Fortunately, Harry the Mole doesn’t know that Sam has an anti-hypnosis device on his head ever since episode 1 and that Max, for some unknown reason cannot be hypnotized. Obey the Master as he asks you to shoot Max, just use the Cap Gun instead of your regular Big Gun. More funny animations follow. Harry is reading comics, so you have plenty of time to figure out a way of destroying the machine and take him down at the same time.

Get the screwdriver from the table with the One-Armed Bandit slots machine (bottom left corner of the screen). Remember the “You’re on fire” phrase that it used to tell as you won. Use the screwdriver on the bandit machine to get a voice box. Now get to the upper right corner of the screen where you can see a hopper filled with all the voice-gizmo’s for the teddy bear toys. Place the voice box here and notice as a “special custom made bear” drops from the assembly line. Get the altered Teddy Bear and use it on Harry. As he gets hypnotized to think that he’s on fire, he heads to the fire extinguisher. The Toy-Mafia seems to have been kind of cheap as the fire extinguisher is also a fake. But it got Harry right under the waste tube. Remember how it almost overheated the machinery as Max took the journey up the waste tube? Let’s see what happens to Harry. Pull the lever Sam!

As you watch the final video, you’ll have one more surprise that will keep you on the lookout for the next episode. I’m just dying to find out what “Plan B” is :).

Sam & Max: Season 1 - Episodes 4: Abe Lincoln Must Die

The forth episode of the Sam and Max series puts our crazy detective friends face to face with one of the most respected American presidents of all time. The case at hand will also take them to one of the most intriguing and esteemed symbols of Washington – the White House. While Sam does most of the action, Max is once again the funniest and most destructive inexhaustible rabbity thing sidekick you’ll ever meet. With this forth addition he gets even punchier, sarcastic comment lines meant to make you laugh till you drop. Nothing can scare the cute buddies, but nevertheless they’re bound to need your guidance in cracking this case.

The White House
Watch the introductory video to get your first clues of what else has been disturbing the commissioner. Note that Sam still has the miniature listening device he bought from Bosco an episode ago. Also note that he is able to use the army bug to make phone pranks. As the video ends, you find your two friends at the front door of the White House. Feel free to walk around and click around to have a little fun. Meet the secret agent Superball guarding the door. Oh well. That’s a NO on the getting inside. He doesn’t seem to have received news on your arrival. I guess you’ll have to sneak your way into the presidential residence. Note the phone on the right side of your screen and make Sam read the number (he’ll memorize it). Superball may be a super agent, but he needs to answer the phone and follow orders. Let’s just try that on him. Get into the DeSoto and head back to your office. Call the White House and ask the agent on the other end of the line to hold. Return to the White House to see that Superball is now busy holding on the phone and the doors are all clear.

The Oval Office Part I
Welcome to the most notable office in the world! Here you meet the absent minded president and his bodyguard. Surprise, surprise! Remember Chuckles from the Toy Mafia episode? If you don’t, Sam and Max will. Feel free to engage in a conversation with him to try to find out what his plans are, but that will lead nowhere. Click around the office and amuse yourself at all the stuff a president keeps there. Note that there is a card board just in front of the camera. It’s fun and it may come in handy later. Note the “secret” door to the right with the word WAR written above it. Surely the War room would make your visit to the White House really interesting. Try to get in. Well, maybe this wasn’t such a good idea. Do notice that as you get thrown out, Whizzer is on his way to meet the president. Where you paying attention? The bodyguard said “Governor Whizzer”. Now what’s up with that? Before heading back in, take a walk and notice the pool. Your old friend Jimmy Two Teeth is relaxing and next to the pool is a very attractive item – a red boxing glove. You do know that this type of things might get in handy on various occasions. Get it quickly and head back to the Oval Office.

So Whizzer is having a meeting with the president. Feel free to question around your old friend. Once you get yourself up to date with the Poppers’ latest doings, talk to the president. Of course he is hypnotized and he seems so distracted with everything that he doesn’t even get the faintest clue on what Governor Whizzer is talking about. Well, get your share of fun by playing the interpreter part between the former child star and the absent minded president. Just repeating everything is not much fun so be a little creative. Tell the president that Whizzer would like a drink. Sodas have always had a strange effect on Whizzer. Take advantage of his desire to hit the john and direct him towards the War Room. Now that Chuckles is “escorting” the governor out, you get your moment alone with the president. Since sweet talking doesn’t look like working, allow Max to try a more violent approach. Remember from the first episode that you were instructed by Sybil to knock down anybody that seemed to be hypnotized? If it worked back than, it should also work now, right?

Use the boxing glove on the president. Ups! Here’s an interesting video scene.

The Courtyard Part I
It’s election time and your nutcase friend Max, the Destructor of Worlds, is competing against the 19 feet statue (5.8 meters) of Abraham Lincoln. Sam is playing the part of the impartial reporter getting conducting the interview for the campaigns of the two main candidates. You’ll see pretty soon that no matter what you let Max promise, the vision turns all chaotic, on the other hand the clue board instructs Abe to be grateful for the new life he was offered to help the nation. Guess this is no way to get Max to win the elections. Notice that there are three issues you can ask Abe to discuss and that every time he’s reading from the clue board. Hmmm. Remember you saw some of these cards back in the office? That’s it! Go hunting for silly answers!

Your first stop is of course the Oval Office. Get those cards and cycle them to see what you could use against Abe. How about getting Abe to say that religion and school make “two wrongs”? Could be fun, let’s try it. What do you know? The audience hated it and Abe is going down in the polls. Gotta find more of these!

The Neighborhood Part I
Since there is no sign of any other useful cards around the White House, get into the DeSoto and let’s see what the neighborhood can help us with. Oh, old memories… Check out the posters wall between your office and Sybil’s. He, he! The army is advertising. “Give me all you got”. There was this question about taxes, wasn’t it? Great! Get the poster that fells as you read the army ad. So you need one more. Head to the right of your office towards Bosco’s. Hey, it’s Hugh Bliss and his Rainbow happiness. What’s that card on free home delivery? Hmmm. Hugh doesn’t seem to want to give it up. Talk to him about all the magical stuff that he does. Here’s an idea. Ask him about the disappearance trick. Puf! He’s gone and the card is all yours. Get it quickly, it could prove useful with that toxic waste issue.

Since you’re in the neighborhood, it wouldn’t hurt to pay your old friends a quick visit. Check out the sign at Sybil’s. She’s got into the Dating Service. So she’s the person you want to see if you’re looking for your match. It probably wouldn’t hurt to see if there is a soul mate for Sam… Told you these two are perfect for one another! Aren’t you curious what Sybil’s dream date would be like? So tall, older, great career… Sounds familiar, but you’ll have to get back on that. Bosco is… well, undercover… again. Comrade Boscovitch… Really, acting as a Russian to avoid a conspiracy is a good idea? OK… Be sure to see what other overpriced gadgets Bosco is selling. A truth serum? At the “bargain” value of 100,000,000 dollars? Prices sure go up these days. No, you don’t need it yet. Notice the two weenies displayed ever since… you can’t even remember the first time you saw them there, can you? Well, it’s time to win the elections!

The Courtyard Part II
Get into the DeSoto Chrysler and get back to the White House. Abe Lincoln can’t win this round. Place the newly acquired cards on the clue board and let’s ask Abraham about his opinion of a few more issues. Be sure the army ad is on display and ask Abe about the taxes. What do you know? The trick really worked. Only a few more votes to loose and Max will be the new leader. Change the card to display the free home delivery card and ask Abe about the toxic wastes.

Whaaaat?! You’re kidding me, Abe is still not loosing enough votes? It must be that awesome speech about the family values. Something must be done. Oh, there are some fliers by the podium advertising Abe’s campaign. Hmmm. Sybil’s dating service should come in handy. Get a flyer and head to Sybil’s. Drop it on her desk for her to evaluate the application. HER dream man?! Sam sure hates to have to use Sybil’s naivety in this way, but Abe must not win the elections. She’ll see that it was all for a good cause. Now it’s just the matter of the telephone call to set up a meeting.

Luckily Sam held on to the army bug listening device. Get him to use it on Lincoln and see later what you can make out of the pieces. Once you used the bug on Abe, retrieve it and head straight to your crumbling office. Here goes nothing! Use the listening device to call Sybil and pretend she’s talking to her soul mate. Don’t worry about getting a few answers wrong, she’ll be so charmed of talking to him that she’ll just ignore them. Once you convince Sybil to get on a date with Abe get back to the White House and enjoy the show.

Congratulations! You know, you could surely apply for a campaign advisor job. You’ve got talent! You managed to get an all destructive rabbit to be elected president, you gotta be good. Unfortunately Abe hits the streets with Chuckles on his shoulder. He’s bound do inflict some major damage and it’s up to you to stop him. Get in the car and follow him. Unfortunately Sam’s Big Gun is too small for the size of the former president. Why did they have to also take off those advertisement cards hanging over the street? Maybe you could have trapped him somehow. You’ll just have to think of something else.

The Oval Office Part II
Max… err… his Excellency President Max would sure love to get his hands on all the sophisticated weapons in the War Room. Hey, maybe you could even come up with something big enough to take out Abe! Superball is guarding the War Room door and we already know by now that he’s very strict when it comes to guarding something. Wonder if you could trick him again. Look through the office. On the desk there is a Secretary Ribbon. And there is a calendar next to the desk. Max could easily declare today as any day he wishes (or you wish). Present Superball with his new position. Oh, and do check out the budget Max can allocate anyway he wants. Wow, $100,000,000! Also make sure Max is declaring the day as Secretary Day. Since Superball is now a secretary he’s allowed (and encouraged by Sam) to take the day off. More trouble?! Of course! You can only get to the War Room if a war is going on.

Luckily the three new governors and former child stars are having a big argue about what to do with Mount Rushmore. The only problem is that each of them is keeping his grunge on his brothers for himself. Maybe that truth serum wouldn’t be such a bad thing to have.

The Neighborhood Part II
First head over to Sybil’s to see how she’s doing after the Abe episode. A new career already? Carbon dating business and she already identified an ancient Tiki statue in her own office. Maybe if you could get her to land you the device you might find something ancient at Bosco’s (like those weenies, they gotta be from the beginning of time). No luck – she’s having financial problems with all the career changes already. If you head back to the Oval Office and get a look at the budget you’ll notice Sybil’s is now on the list of possible investments. Great, maybe she’ll get a vacation and forget all about the carbon dating device.

As you get back to Sybil’s you see that she took a leave indeed and left the device on her desk. Grab it quickly and let’s go use it on everything there is in Bosco’s Inconvenience Store. Well, well. Turns out the weenies are indeed ancient! Great! Head back to the Oval Office and allocate the money from the budget to Bosco’s. Let’s see what he has to say about it now. It worked – you can have the serum. Yeap, just as you imagined – another overpriced, over advertised product: a bottle of Vodka. Yet this will have to do.

The Oval Office Part III
Whizzer should surely be thirsty by now after all that nonsense talk in the office. Offer the bottle to him and enjoy the show that follows. After fiery controversial talk among the Soda Poppers the nation finally goes to war. Looks like Max is not the only one that is thrilled with this situation. The secret agents will put on a wonderful show for you. Enjoy it as I for one consider it to be one of the funniest moments of the episode at hand.

The War Room
Finally Max’s greatest dream has become reality – the buttons of war are at his fingertips. Notice the “intricate” War Manual, the surveillance camera by the pool where Jimmy takes his siesta and head over the main computer. This is the fun part. Check out the selected targets. Launch something if you want, but do notice that there is indeed a beacon in Bosco’s shop. Notice the half sign on the screen and the angle from witch you can see Bosco. So he was actually right about the conspiracy… Better not make him feel more threatened than he already is. Head over to Bosco’s and check out the video camera facing the stand. There it is – the beacon that you were looking for.

The Traffic
This is it. A bomb should be just the right thing to destroy Abe. Get on a pursuit. Abe Lincoln Must Die! Use your new toy – the beacon – to shoot it to the back of the running statue. Max will be careful to place it on his back so that he can’t reach it. All that is left to do is head over to the War Room and make Max a happy rabbity thing – let him press the RED BUTTON. That’s it folks! This episode ends here. But what’s that sound in Chuckles hands-free?

Our crazy detective friends need to face the most terrible crisis we (gamers) could ever think of – an internet malfunctioning. Trapped inside the virtual reality are tons of players that don’t even realize they’ve been stripped from the real world. While Sam does most of the action, Max is once again the funniest inexhaustible rabbity thing sidekick you’ll ever meet. Nothing can scare the cute buddies, but nevertheless, they’re bound to need your guidance in cracking this case.

Wow! Banco Lavadero turns up to be a chain of money laundering business. Surprise! There is one billion dollars to be “cleaned” up. Of course, your goal is to transfer all that money to Bosco’s account. Notice there are arrows from each account to at least one other neighboring account. Every time you “Cook the Books” in one account the money there will be transferred into the accounts the arrows point to. If there are 2 exit arrows, the money is split equally. If the account is an odd number, one million will remain in the initial account. Every time you Cook the Books the arrows change to the opposite direction. It’s not that hard. Come on, make Bosco a rich Half-Elf! If you still don’t make it, take a look at the picture here and notice that I numbered the different accounts. Just Cook the Books in the following order: 3 – 4 – 7 – 1 – 2. That’s it! Bosco’s rich and the virulent weapon is rightfully yours.

As you get back to your home street, log off Reality 2.0 and go get your master weaponry. As soon as you get back into Reality 2.0 you’ll see that the billion dollars actually paid off and you got yourself a vicious computer disease. Oh, boy! You’d better hold on tight now. It’s the end of Reality 2.0. USE the computer disease with the mailbox to spread the virus all over the internet and put an end to this madness.

Reality 1.5
Remember the adventure games of the ‘80s and the intricate books that kept you going from one page to another to break the mystery? Well, this looks a whole lot more modern, but it feels just as amazingly exciting as back in time. Feel free to do whatever you wish, get, look at and use anything that pops up on your options. You won’t manage to bring death to our friends in any way, just go in circles forever and ever.

The logical (well, seems pretty logical for the Freelance Police anyway) solution goes something like this. The Internet says it lost all respect for the living things. Well, Sam & Max need to get it back (they’re still in a game, so Respect can be just an item). Respect for the Living Things is right her in the first scene. Use the GET command to try and capture it. Ups! GO down after it. The Corporate Presence swallowed it! Grrr! Gotta get it out of there somehow. There must be a way around. GO back up. Let’s scout the area. GO east to find Bosco’s. Get Bosco’s which is just an empty small business. GO back west. GO down and use Bosco’s on the Corporate Presence. Wow! This thing will eat up just about anything. OK. Let’s get another Bosco’s. Once you get the new Bosco’s GO west. Now GO northwest. Eww! An ooze of nauseating cuteness! GET the rare foil card. GO back southeast and try to give it to the Internet. Nope! Gotta keep looking! GO back northwest and USE Bosco’s with nauseating lake. GO southeast and then GO down. USE nauseating Bosco’s with the Corporate Presence. He! He! Feeling a little sick you nasty Corporate Presence? GET the Respect for Living Things. GO back up and finally USE the Respect for Living Things with the Internet.
OH! GAME OVER!
