Sam & Max Hit the Road is one of the good old adventure games of long lost times
If you wonder how to get this game, I cannot help you, I still got my copy from
times this was still in store. I'm sure there are sites you can download it
from, but since I cannot support software piracy, I cannot give you links.
If you can give me sites on which this game can be bought/downloaded from
WITHOUT VIOLATING COPYRIGHTS mail me, and I'll add those to this FAQ.

Also note that since this game is old you may NOT be able to play it on modern
machines. You may need an emulator to play it.
One of the best out there is DOSBox.
Download it from: http://www.dosbox.com

I recomment only to use this FAQ when you are stuck, or else this game will be
no challenge at all. If you are stuck look at the index on what you are doing
and look at the IDX code. Open a search window (Ctrl-F in Windows and Linux and
Apple-F in MacOS).

Well, that's all folks...
Let's get started on this

+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| HQ                                                                   | IDX02 |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
In the game you control Sam, however you can use Max by either grabbing him
and point a target with him, or by selecting him from the inventory.

- First check the mousehole to get yourself some cash
- Take the blacklight from the closet

Some optional stuff is to use the dart-board or to feed Max' ant farm.
- When you're done here, leave the building and go outside

- Use Max on the cat

If you want a quick laugh, go into the store at the corner of the street.

- Enter you car and be ready to get on the road.


+----------------------------------------------------------------------+-------+
| Snuckey's                                                            | IDX03 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+-------+
You can buy some silly things at the Snuckey stores, like a car bomb game,
dress up dolls and shit like that. It's all optional, but it is kinda funny
to collect.

One of the shops has a cup lying. Pick it up.
You can also get a box of pecan-candies. Take that too.

When Max complaints he wants to go the bathroom talk to the attendant and
ask him if Max may go to the bathroom. He'll allow you to and give Max the
key. Now go out quickly and speak to Max before he returns the key. Get him
to keep the key. That makes you ready for this part.


+----------------------------------------------------------------------+-------+
| The Carnival                                                         | IDX04 |

+----------------------------------------------------------------------+-------+
- Enter the vortex

You may see a lot of doors here. Shuv-Oohl is behind one of them, which one
it is, is diffrent each game. You are either too small or too big to enter those
doors. If you enter by the mirror you can set the colors of the magnets to
either red, yellow and blue, or combine them to get white, purple, orange and
green. Try to set them to the door color you like to try. If it's the wrong door
try it again, until you found the right door.

+----------------------------------------------------------------------+-------+
| Bigfoot party (part 2)                                               | IDX0E |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+-------+

- Put the hair on the costume
- Put the wig on the costume
- Enter the building
- Put on the costume.

- Tell him you're not a bigfoot (he won't buy it)
- Take off the costume
- When Bumpus uses the fridge to disguise himself use Max to lock them in
  The bigfoot chief will lead you to the four totems and explain the situation
  the bigfoots are in. After that we gotta solve the totem riddle

+----------------------------------------------------------------------+-------+
| The four totem poles                                                 | IDX0F |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+-------+
The four totem poles all need an item in order to be activated.
We got already three of those items. (At least when you followed my FAQ).
One is still missing.

For that one do the next things
- Have the telekenetic at the ball of twine to bend your screwdriver
- Use it to remove the cork from the screwdriver

- Go to the upside down room in the mystery vortex
- Step in the mini-vortex
- While you are on the ride, use the snowglobe to catch some of the vortex'
  power and use the cork to lock it in.

Now we got all we need. Go back to the party site to the yard with the
four totems. From there is a way (extremely hard to spot) to a small pool
where the bigfoot chief is waiting for you.

Give him the next items to activate the totems:

TOTEM #1: The snowglobe with mystery vortex power
TOTEM #2: The tooth of the T-Rex from the bungee site
TOTEM #3: The John Muir vegitable
TOTEM #4: Conroy Bumpus' pillow

Doing that will end this game.

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU COMPLETED SAM & MAX HIT THE ROAD!


While the credits are running you can shoot serveral things. Not that it
matters, but it is kinda fun, I suppose.

If you want me to answer questions about the game itself please visit this
site:

      http://www.tbbs.nl/QuestionGen.php4

That is my Q&A site where I (or others) will answer all your game questions.
If you do, please check if the question you want to ask hasn't been asked
before. :)

If you want to inquire about me as a person, or when you have anything to
say about the FAQ itself, like asking permission to host, got suggestions
for this FAQ, something like that please mail it to

       tric1975@hotmail.com

       AND PUT [Tric-FAQ] IN THE SUBJECT OR ELSE MY SPAMFILTER MAY
       REJECT YOU!

If you see that I missed things in this FAQ, then in stead of calling me
names, you may tip me about that part, or if you want even come up with
a complete workout of that part, that I will copy into this FAQ (I may alter
your lay-out to make it fit with the rest) and even credit you for your
trouble. This also goes for alternate boss techniques.

AND NEVER FORGET TO TELL ME WHICH FAQ OF MINE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!
I get a lot of mails in which I must guess which FAQ it is we're talking
about, and since I'm very busy as a contributor for GameFAQs, and ocasionally
other sites, I have quite a lot of FAQs here. So it will help me a lot when
I know which FAQ/Game it is you're talking about. :)

And one last thing. Below are remarks I got a lot about my FAQs. Some are
funny, and some are just plainly too stupid for words. I don't want to be
an arrogant bastard or anything, but some of them tire me a lot.

So here are those mails with my standard replies:

  M: Fix your English
  A: Some people say they hardly hear the diffrence between me and an
     English speaking fellow. Others say it sucks. Well, I honestly don't
     care in which category you are. English is NOT my first language. If
     I spoke my own language you probably couldn't read my FAQs at all.

  M: HEY IDIOT! FIX YOUR FAQ!
  A: Anyone who sends mail like this won't receive a reply. In fact they
     will be banned from ever mailing me again. I can understand you do not
     agree with my technique. There are as many as there are people. I can
     also agree you detected that I made a mistake. Well, I'm human you know.
     Making mistakes is part of my nature, as much as it's yours. If you
     detect errors in my FAQ you can tell me about it in a civil way, and
     I'll fix it if I agree with you.

  M: Are you a man? A woman? How old are you? Where do you live?
  A: I really got that kind of mails a lot. I don't mind that you know.
     I was quite amused by such mails actually.
     Well, my name is Jeroen Broks. I'm not going to give my private adres
     in this FAQ or anywhere else on the internet, but you may know that
     I live in the Netherlands, I am a man, and I was born in 1975. So on
     the moment I started on this version of this FAQ I was 31 years old.

  M: Fsdasdadasf afsdfasd afdfsaf
  A: Whatever you say I don't understand it. If you mail me, please only do
     so in either English or Dutch or if you really need in German.
     (Be perpared that if you speak German to me, you might get an answer in
     English, tough).
     I don't speak any other language.

  M: May I translate your FAQ into another language?
  A: If you ask my permission, mostly no problem

  M: Why is Neoseeker banned from hosting your FAQs?
  A: That's something between me and Neoseeker. I don't find it necesary to
     go into detail about that. I noted it in my FAQs to make sure they
     will never pop up there unnoticed. So don't mail me about it
     cause I won't answer. I got very good reasons for it. That's all you
     need to know.

And so far this FAQ. I hope you have good use for it!
