I enjoyed Sam & Max Hit the Road the absolute most of the time. Even while I was stuck plot-wise, I discovered tons of fun interactions and dialogues, and the dialogues here are very entertaining and hilarious (even the response to the repeated attempt to pick something up is nice). You also get this funny pair of main characters that you see on the game cover and an absolutely awesome intro music. However, there were also a couple of times when I was totally furious about the way this game was. I would in general call it an "unfriendly game design". For example sometimes the screen won't move unless you move really close to the edge, so if you're not stubborn enough, you might just miss part of the room (it gets much easier after you know about it but it is extremely irritating before). Or there was also a time when the intended interaction with a "minigame" was not explained at all and you have to click everywhere in every way you can to find a solution. I was completely stuck twice for these exact reasons and I didn't like it at all. But when you move forward after that, you feel really great and motivated to beat the game and find out where does this adventure bring you in the end. Summary: I would recommend Sam & Max Hit the Road to everyone who likes point & click games in general and especially to those who want to know the classics of the genre and are not afraid of some challenge. And here are some non-spoiling hints for those who'd join the Freelance Police: 1) F5 is important for managing the game, and pressing "Help" there shows you some useful commands 2) You can exit the road minigame by pressing Q 3) Try walking everywhere you can click and if you're stuck plot-wise try interacting in every way you can with everything you can (that's more or less standard for all point & click games but here you have more options than usual, so try them all)

Love this game. My Uncle used to play this when i was like 9-10 [1998-1999]. He used to make all the voices because our sound card didn't work. Always a special place for me!

its a classic, but has the same issues with other point and click games of its era, like salutations that are not obvious and convoluted, where guides would be consulted to get anywhere. The humour of this game would often make me smile or chuckle and makes me wish we could get more of these two goofy but charming detectives. I would recommend but have a guide ready just in case.
