Sam & Max Hit The Road In Bonus Pre-Order

Thanks to 1UP for pointing out that the classic Sam & Max PC graphic adventure will be a bonus pre-order item for anyone reserving LucasArts/Planet Moon's wacked-out Xbox/PC shooter Armed & Dangerous. The article suggests: "PC adventure fans still venerate Sam & Max for its cool cartoon graphics and demented sense of humor", and this bonus disc, which includes a fully-compatible Windows talkie version of the classic title, also features a trailer to help promote the Sam & Max sequel, due on PC in early 2004.

From Sam & Max Hit the Road:

Sam (holding the decapitated head of a mad scientist with a ticking timebomb implanted in the skull): Where should I put this thing so that it doesn't hurt anyone we know or care about?

Max: Out the window, Sam. There's nobody but strangers out there.

Sam throws the bomb out the window. Moments later, there's an explosion outside.

Sam: I hope there was nobody on that bus," said Sam eventually.

Max: Nobody we know, at least.

What a great game! And, even though it's a bit out-of-date, this website offers up some great memories of the canine/lagomorph duo.

The version of Sam & Max will more than likely be the updated directx version by by Aaron Giles of MAME and ex-LucasArts fame. Previously this updated binary (resources are the same I believe) was only available in parts of the UK and Europe in a compilation pack know as the Entertainment Pack. As LucasArts don't have this available for people who already have the game, preordering Armed & Dangerous to get the bonus disc is the only way many people can get an updated version from LucasArts, or your could just look here.
