You can compare the controls to Beneath a Steel Sky or some freeware AGS games (by Ben304 for example). You just click on an object and Sam (or Max) do what the think fits the best to do now. So you don't have to get grey hair for finding out which verb to use with which object. The difficulty level goes down a bit but gameplay fun increses by a lot. If you want to walk to some place just click there and you will walk there. Your inventory is in the lower left of the screen. All items you collected move into the box there. Click on the box and your items are spread over the screen waiting for you to pick them up and use them wisely. Click on a dialoge line to make Sam (or Max) say this line (or not). That's it for the controls, that's easy, isn't it? _________________________________________________________________________ [.03.] __________________ Characters -=Sam=- Sam is the dog and the rather cool guy of the two freelance policiers. But he always has a punchline ready and the head of the troup around the dog and the rabbit, he is the good nose so to say. When he is too annoyed by Max he likes to abuse him as a living punching ball or as a tool to solve riddles. -=Max=- Max is the psychopathic, close to psychoactive rabbit that is always at Sam's side. Max developed an unhealthy addiction to coffee and is getting really hyperactive from that. Besides this he wants to kill, injure or blow up everything that finds its way into his furry fingers. So he is the perfect man for the freelance police and always has a sadistic comment on his lips. -=Brady Culture=- Brady Culture is the prototype and/or the stereotype of the megalomaniac computer game bad guy but in this case he is really really stupid too. He looks quite nice with his afro hair but he wants to hypnotize the whole world with his videos and force all the people to watch him and his brainless show. He already hypnotized the 3 Soda Poppers and now they are working for him under his unfluence. You have to stop this lunatic, and if two other lunatics are not perfect for this job who else would be? -=Soda Poppers Allstars=- The Soda Poppers are aging and then again not aging child stars from Sam and Maxes childhood. They had their own TV show and now they appear in this adventure again for Sam n Max. They are three child starts and their names are Specs, Whizzer and Peepers. -=Specs=- Specs seems to be them most mature one of the three Soda Poppers, but he is not one of the brightest around. Because he is caught under the hypnotic spell of Brady Culture he paints grafittis with the logo from Brady Culture's stupid homevideo everywhere in the district of Sam and Max. He wants to hypnotize the few sane people left in the world of Sam n Max. So our heros have to stop him and wake him up from his hypnosis. -=Whizzer=- Whizzer is also hypnotized by Brady Culture. Under the influence of the hypnosis he does all kind of strange things against his will. In his case he drags all of the brainless homevideos from Brady Culture into Bosco's shop and wants him to sell them. But as he doesn't want them he calls the police and is more than surprised as only Sam and Max show up to help him. Whizzer has a serious problem with keeping his body fluids in his bladder and Sam n Max make use of that in no time. -=Peepers=- Peepers imitates Sybil Pandemic as he is under the hypnotic influence of Brady Culture and just occupies her office. After Sybil was recued by Sam and Max he still claims he is Sybil herself. Our two chaos cops have to stop this dangerous behaviour and beat him up with a trick and with that they also free him from Brady Culture's hypnotic influence. -=Sybil Pandemic=- Sybil Pandemic has a talent for everything. She can pierce your eybrows or tattoo your back, but the business with the body cult is not working out that well so she changed subject to psychology and advices her customers so long until they are patients themselfes. She is a source of wisdom but is unable to help at first as Peepers from the Soda Poppers took her place and locked her away. After you freed her from Peepers you can have her analyze you. This brings you one step closer to the mental hospital (and to Brady Culture). -=Bosco=- Bosco is the most ingenious and inventuous supermarket boss you will ever find anywhere. But besides that he has a serious problem with Whizzer, a former child star on TV from the Soda Poppers. Whizzer is unstoppably filling his supermarket with new hypnotic video tapes from Brady Culture. For a huge amount of money you can get his Bosco Tec tear gas launcher. This thing is as ingenious as his anti-theft protection device in his shop. _________________________________________________________________________ [.04.] __________________ Walkthrough This solution describes the fastest and opimal way through the game, but if you don't play around a bit on your own the whole game is for nada because you will find all the funny situations and absurd dialoges Sam n Max are famous for only by trying and playing the game. So play it on your own and only look here if you are really stuck! So, let's start with the solution: _________ -=Ratterror=- After the really cool intro you will find Sam and Max while performing a relly interesting leisure activity in their bureo. But sadly Sam is interrupted from shooting because the phone is ringing. But where is the phone? The house rat kidnapped it and demands swiss cheese as ransom. So let's be quick and get some swiss cheese! In the cupboard on the right end of the buero you can find some cheese! But the cheesy thing about this is that the cheese is no swiss cheese. So grab Sam's huge gun from the inventory and shoot the needed holes into the cheese and there we go, we made swiss cheese. Put the piece of fake swiss cheese in front of the hole of the rat. But as the rat is getting really awful and demands even more stuff we have to use drastic measures. Let Max do the talking in this part. After some threatening the rat finally complains about getting a headache from Max' talk. So let Sam ask what the headache is about (Got a headeache, eh?). So the rat spits it out and tells us that it is afraid of heights. This is perfect for Max. Pick up the rat and hang it out of the window (I'll hang you out to dry) and the rat will give back your telephone. And so we can receive the call, the Commisioner wants Sam n Max to take care of a strange guy in the neighbourhood. But before leaving pick up the boxing glove and the bowling ball. Armed like this you can step on the streets. ___________ -=Videoterror=- So enter Bosocs shop at the right end of the street. Inside Boscos is crying in your ear about Whizzer but nevermind and grad the cheese that is next to the entrance. Then enter the toilet on the left, well, let Max enter the toilet. This makes Whizzer nervous and he also goes onto the toilet. And while he is gone put a little present in his video box. Put the cheese in there. As soon as he returns and runs away again he gets knocked out and we can put one of the hypnotized Soda Poppers off of our list. So let's get red of the next one. You can find him right outside of Sam and Max's office. He is painting grafittis to the building walls. So go into the sidestreet to the left of the office of our heros and get the spray can from the car here. Use the spray can to spray color onto the grafitti right to the entrance of the office of our heros. Specs comes running and tries to rescue his artwork. While he is scrubbing along the wall we go back into our office and look out of the window here. So? What do you see? Right! Specs! So throw the bowling ball onto his mean head and we got rid of the second Soda Popper now. To get rid of the third of the Soda Poppers you step out of you law enforcement office and swing yourself into the Desoto, the police car. Now we need some money. Drive on a lane of your choice, but not in the middle and pull out your gun and shoot the tail light of a random innocent person on the street. When using the megaphone Max can make the drive pull over now. Now your victim wants to know why you stopped him. So explain to him he has a Hideously broken Taillight and he will put a lot of funny monney into your dirty hands. Drive back to the office (button in the lower right). Step into Boscos shop and buy the tear gas you can finally afford now. Armed with the tear grenade launcher you can finally step into Sybil's place. Here you are greeted by Peepers that is really bad at trying to impersonate Sybil. Open the door to the wall cupboard and meet the real Sybil there. She talkes to you for a long time explaining a lot of stuff and after you completed that you know what to do now. Yes, get rid of the Soda Popper, because this is what you are doing all the time already because of this great FAQ. So put a full flavour of tear gas into Peepers face and even when he is crying already knock him out with the boxing glove. That was fun! __________________________ -=Home for aging child stars=- Now you have to find out where the home for the aging child stars is. Wake up all Soda Poppers one after the other and release them from their demon named Brady Culture. Whizzer will then flee with the truck and throw boxed filled with Brady Culture Videos at you. Pull out Sam's huge gun again and shoot on the boxes that are coming too close to you. Once you are close enough to the truck shoot the tires like every old TV cop would do. Now the previous TV star will tell you where the well hidden Brady Culture home for aging child stars is. Get a membership application from there and remember all three points that make the personaly disorded needed. Now drive back to your office and pay Sybil a visit. Here you have to test your insanity with a strange test. Normally it shouldn't be that but in this game it's quite difficult. Sybil offers some test to find out what is wrong with you. The first test is a Rorschachtest, the second test is about free associations and the third and last test is about interpretation of your dreams. ---Psychotest--- Let's start with the Rorschachtest. The first test is either about money or fame. Depending on what was written on your membership application pick the option listed below. Picture 1: Money: Pennies on the eyes of a dead mime Fame: Susan Lucci holding an Emmy Picture 2: Money: An SUV crashing into an opulent mansion Fame: Pigeons on a the marquee at Mann's Chinese Theater Picture 3: Money: My uncle Louie's moth-eaten wallet Fame: An Autograph written in Braille Picture 4: Money: Elephants at the New York stock exchange Fame: A cheering crowd of lanky albinos Picture 5: Money: A debit card fed through a document shredder Fame: That blotchy thing a flashbulb does to your eyes Let us face the second test now, free association. Here you have to react very violent and aggressive to some words. So if there was Hairdressing written on your application be aggressive every time it's all about hair and cutting and so. If there was written dentistry on your application react aggressive on everything about teeth and the dentist. So if there is nothing about your subject just reply normal but if your subject is on pull out the gun or the boxing glove and try to shoot or hit Sybil. That should be aggressive enough. But take care not to react violent on the wrong word or you fail the test. There are some hard words, maybe a dictionary comes in handy here. the last test is about Dream interpretation You find yourself in Sam and Max's office and you can form some objects just like you want to to be defined as insane. Of course you have to obey some rules in case you know what you want. The two possible signs of your madness are either a need to know your peer's age, in this case you take the doughnut box and choose the birthday cake and pick Max as the ?-Person, the rest doesn't matter. If you have to be obsessed with marry your mom you take the wedding cake at the doughnut box and the option you, Sybil, for the ?-Person. So you should be declared as insane by Sybil and you can finally enter Brady Cultures house. Und excatly there is your next destination, give the signed insanity application to the monkey and step in. Here Brady Culture is already waiting for you. After a nice song and a lot of madness he hypnotizes Sam and makes him a Video Delivery Man. __________________ -=Video Delivery Man=- Soon afterwards you find yourself in Boscos shop and you are delivering Brady Culture's videos as Sam the Video Delivery Man. The easiest thing to do now is knocking yourself out. Do this by putting the piece of cheese into your video delivery basket when you are close. The killer fist of Bosco's anti-theft protection device comes down and sends you into the land of dreams. Here you have to win over Brady Culture in your dream to escape the hypnosis. Finish the Maxlike Brady by standing next to him and shooting at the railroad sign on the wall. If you don't hit Max in flight correct your position and shoot again. Then put Maxs' head onto his body and the first Brady Culture is gone. Turning off the light makes the second Brady Culture disappear, the one hanging under the lamp. Turn of the Brady Culture in the TV by removing the antenna of the TV. Now there is only the Brady Culture in the cupboard left. To remove this guy open the cupboard and then pump up the rat with the air pump. So your are done with the dreamworld stuff now. ________________ -=Der letzte Kampf=- You wake up in Bosco's shop and want to freeze Brady Culture's ugly face. But he will just hypnotize you again, so you have to find something to defend yourself from him before facing your final boss fight. Get into your office and grab the coat hanger that is the TV antenna. Now visit Sybil and ask her for help. She gives you a drawing of a hypnosis defense system device but neither her nor Sam know how it works. So Bosco has to help again. Visit his shop again and give him the plan. When he wants an antenna give him the coat hanger and Bosco builds your hypnosis defense system device thingy helmet. Armed like this you jump into the Desoto and aim for Brady Culture's home for aging child stars. Bardy Culture is already waiting for you and send the Soda Poppers after you. You can send them around as you like as they are influenced by hypnosis. You now have to play them off against Brady Culture and you have nearly won the game. Order them to Become... Brady Culture. He doesn't like this so order them to Worship... me (yourself). Brady doesn't like this even more and he gets a little more crazy and wants them obey him. Now order them to Attack... me, and this confuses Brady even more and he starts his and this game's END _________________________________________________________________________ [.05.] __________________ funny stuff Last but not least here are some of the best dialoges and other fun stuf from the game to read here... - Shoot the one way sign in front of Sam n Max's office. - Get the cheese in Bosco's shop and try to get out. - Lefty's is also featured in another game with a world famous playboy. - a lot more I might add in later. _________________________________________________________________________ [.06.] __________________ History ____________ -=Version 1.00=- ________ -=04-12-11=- The first version.
