| Sam and Max Hit The Road | 1993-11 | 2002-09: Peter and Rhonda 2024-01: Peter, Hannah, and Morty | wiki, moby | Sam and Max must find Bruno the Bigfoot and Trixie the Giraffe Girl. They go traipsing around the country in search of the pair. This lovely game is in bad need of remastering the way Monkey Island had been. Old people like me can play it because we grew up playing games that looked like this, but kudos to Hannah and Morty for suffering through pixelated artwork and clunky UI! It's a shame, because this Sam and Max are the real Sam and Max; not the watered down, sanitized versions in TellTale games. |

| It's About Time | 2010-12 | 2012-06: Peter and Evelyn 2023-08: Peter, Hannah, Morty | wiki, moby | Takes place after the events of the movie. Narrative is complex for a Tell Tale game. Great voice acting (I just checked and the reason why the voice acting is so great is because the main voice actors were Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd). Puzzles were logical and well thought out, and the hinting system is second to none - when the game detects that you're stuck, one of the NPCs will start giving you increasingly pointed hints disguised as conversation/commentary. |
