Sam&Max Episode 1 - Culture Shock Sam&Max Episode 1 : Culture Shock Spoiler free walkthrough by Nikilist (niki_list[at]hotmail[dot]it) Version 1.0 ============================================================================ CONTENTS ============================================================================ Introduction (INT) Controls and Interface (CTRL) Walkthrough (WLK) -Neutralizing Specs 1.1 -Neutralizing Whizzer 1.2 -De-Hypnotising the Soda Poppers 1.3 -Stopping Brady Culture 1.4 Credits and Thanks (CR) ============================================================================ INTRODUCTION (INT) ============================================================================ Sam&Max : Hit the Road was a great adventure game issued in the early '90s, where the player guided Max in an adventure which would lead them to save the american population of Big-Footsand to destroy half of the country. If i'm not mistaking it should be an abandonware by now, so get your chances to play it. Unfortunately no sequels of the game were made, until Lucasarts said it was working on Sam&Max : Freelance Police, a project that was abandoned without any good reason. Telltale acquired the rights and, together with Steve Purcell, the creator of Sam&Max, decided to be a lead in the path of episodic videogames. Through Gametap or their website people can bay Culture shock or the whole first season, made of 6 episodes with an underground plot which will be published from December 2006 to June 2007, one every month. As it is a spoiler-free walkthrough I will not tell you what the story is about.But I'll give you an advice : the game is Short, so take advantage of it by clicking on EVERY SINGLE OBJECT you can interact with. If this game is fun,why should someone spoil it by hurrying to the end ? =============================================================================== CONTROLS AND INTERFACE (CTRL) =============================================================================== As much as the game can be fun, it is unfortunately too easy. The inventory is in the lower-left corner, symbolysed by a box. Click on the box to display it. Click on an object to select it and click on a hotspot to use the object with that hotspot (if possible, of course). Do not try to combine the objects : you simply can't. On the upper-left corner is the menu (a small wheel). Click on the wheel to display it. In the car section you'll have to the left a GUN, a MEGAPHONE and a HORN. Using the gun will slow you down and you won't be able to steer, so choose the appropriate time. the MEGAPHONE is theway you stop the other cars. I couldn't find a practical use for the HORN. I mean, it's just a horn... =============================================================================== WALKTHROUGH (WLK) =============================================================================== ---Neutralizing Specs--1.1----------------------------------------------------- Take the BOXING GLOVE Take the Blue BOWLING BALL Open the closet Use the GUN on the CHEESE Take a piece of SWISS CHEESE Use the SWISS CHEESE on the Rat Hole Choose Max and select any phrase Choose Sam and select "GOT A HEADACHE, EH?" Choose Max and select "I'LL HANG YOU OUT TO DRY!" Click on the OFFICE DOOR. Go to the left and take the SPRAY PAINT on the car behind the Desoto Click on the DESOTO and select "LET'S GO PULL OVER RANDOM MOTORISTS" As soon as you find a car hit its back, use the GUN, then click on a taillight to break it. Use the MEGAPHONE and select "PULL OVER!" Select "HIDEOUSLY BROKEN TAILLIGHT". You'll get 10.000 $ Back in your car select the "OFFICE" icon. Use the SPRAY PAINT on the GRAFFITI to your right. Click on the OFFICE DOOR. Click on the OPEN WINDOW. Use the BOWLING BALL on SPECS. ---Neutralizing Whizzer--1.2--------------------------------------------------- Click on the OFFIC DOOR. Go to your right and click on BOSCO'S INCONVENIENCE. Select "REMAIN CALM", "WHAT MUNCHLIN TERRORIST?", "I THINK WE GOT IT", "WE WANNA BUY SOMETHING", "WHAT'VE YOU GOT?", "OKAY, WHAT'S BEHIND THE COUNTER? and "GIVE US THE TEAR GAS". You'll get a TEAR GAS GRENADE LAUNCHER. Take the SLICE O' CHEESE. Take the EYE-BO VIDEOS. Click on the BATHROOM DOOR. Then use quickly the SLICE O' CHEESE on WHIZZER'S CRATE. ---De-Hypnotyzing the Soda Poppers--1.3---------------------------------------- Click on the EXIT DOOR. Click on the OFFICE DOOR.

Avoid the Crates and, when you're close enough, use the GUN and aim for the TIRES. ---Stopping Brady Culture--1.4------------------------------------------------- Take an ADMISSION FORM. Use the DESOTO and select "LET'S HEAD BACK TO THE OFFICE". Enter SYBIL'S and talk to SYBIL Here it gets complicated, because the three symptoms may change. INKBOLTS refer to the first symptom, FREE ASSOCIATION to the second, DREAM ANALYSIS to the third. INKBOLTS : -MONEY : Select 1,3,2,1,4, which is PENNIES, SUV, UNCLE LOUIE'S WALLET, ELEPHANTS, DEBIT CARD. -FAME : Select 3,2,4,2,1, which is SUSAN LUCCI, PIGEONS, AUTOGRAPH, CHEERING CROWD, BLOTCHY THING. FREE ASSOCIATION : When Sybil says a word connected to the symptom (i.e. "crown", "drill" or "polish" for dentistry, "comb" or "dryer" for hair styling) use the GUN on her. Using it with another word makes you fail the test. I don't know how much this is true but generally the second word is associated with dentistry and the third with hair styling. DREAM ANALYSIS : If the symptom is about marriage, choose a WEDDING CAKE in the DONUT BOX. If it is about getting old, a BIRTHDAY CAKE. If it is about your mother, choose ? as SYBIL. If it is about your peer, choose ? as MAX. I don't think there is any other combination. Click on the EXIT DOOR and use the DESOTO. Select "BRADY CULTURE'S "HOME" FOR FORMER CHILD STARS". Use the ADMISSION FORM on the FORM READER. Click on the GATE. When your near enough take the SLICE O' CHEESE. Use the LIGHT SWITCH. Being on the Red Carpet, use the GUN on the ONE-WAY SIGN. Use MAX on the Max-BRADY CULTURE. Take the COAT HANGER. Open the CLOSET DOOR and click on the BYCICLE PUMP. Select "BYE, BOSCO". Click on the EXIT DOOR. Click on the OFFICE DOOR. Take the COAT HANGER. Click on the OFFICE DOOR. Enter SYBIL'S and talk to SYBIL. Select "CAN YOU HELP ME?". Click on the EXIT DOOR. Click on BOSCO'S INCONVENIENCE. Use the HELMET DIAGRAM on BOSCO. Use the COAT HANGER on BOSCO. Click on the EXIT DOOR. Use the DESOTO. Click on the GATE. Click on the SODA POPPERS. Select "BECOME..." and "BECOME... BRADY CULTURE!" Click on the SODA POPPERS. Select "WORSHIP..." and "WORSHIP... ME!" Click on the SODA POPPERS. Select "ATTACK..." and "ATTACK... ME!" That's the end of Sam&Max : Culture Shock. But the ending movie makes you wonder about the Episode 2 : Situation Comedy... =============================================================================== CREDITS AND THANKS (CR) =============================================================================== First I'd like to thank myself, as this is my first FAQ.
