Sam and Max: Season 1

Episode 1: Culture Shock

Phone for Ransom

Start by looking at everything around the office. Pick up the boxing glove from the window ledge, and the bowling bowl from over near the rat hole. Open the closet door and you will discover some cheese, but it is not swiss cheese. Grab the big gun from your inventory and shoot the cheese. Now pick up some swiss cheese and place it at the rat hole. When talking to the rat, get Max to insult him, then have Sam ask about the rat's headache. Get Max to suggest hanging the rat out to dry, and you will eventually get your phone back. After the phone call from the Commissioner, head out of the office.

Bosco's Inconvenience

Walk down the street after Max, and talk to Specs along the way, to learn about Eye-Bo. Now head into the store and talk to Bosco. Make sure you find out about the munchkin terrorist, B-TADS, and the tear gas grenade launcher. Grab the cheese from the sale table, and take a copy of the Eye-Bo video from the stand to the left. Now talk to Whizzer about the videos. Try to leave the store, and you will find out some more about B-TADS. Put the cheese back on the table, then leave.

Head to the left, around behind your DeSoto. Grab the can of spray paint from the back of the other car, then get into your car for a drive. Crash into the back of a random car and you will slow down. Now grab your gun and shoot out one of the car's tail-lights. Use the megaphone to get them to pull over, then fine them for driving with a broken tail-light and you will receive $10,000. Now return to the office. Put the video in the VCR in your office. After the movie is over, take the video again, and head outside. Go back to Bosco's Inconvenience and give Bosco the money in exchange for the weapon, then leave the store again.

Knock Out the Poppers

Head back down the street and into Sybil's, which is across the street from your car. Talk to Peepers for a while, then open the closet and talk to Sybil. Now you need to knock out each of the hypnotised former child stars. You may as well start with the one right here.

Peepers

Try punching Peepers with the boxing glove, but he can see you coming. Try using the bowling ball on him, but you have the same problem. Shoot him in the eye with the tear gas grenade launcher, then punch him to knock him out.

Specs

Outside on the street, try to shoot Specs with the tear gas, but it doesn't work because he's wearing glasses. Try to punch him, but he moves too quickly. Go back to your office building and use the spray paint on the graffiti out the front. Specs will then come to fix up his masterpiece. Head upstairs and look out the window. Drop the bowling ball on the Specs' head.

Whizzer

Go to Bosco's Inconvenience and try to shoot Whizzer, but B-TADS won't let you. Offer Whizzer the cheese, but he won't take it, and he also won't let you put it in his basket. Go to the restroom, then when Whizzer is occupied, quickly put the cheese in his basket. After he is knocked out by B-TADS, wake him up. A chase scene will begin - just dodge the crates so you get close to the van, then pull out your gun and shoot a rear tyre.

Brady Culture's "Home" for Former Child Stars

Look around and you will find some application forms. Try to put a form through the slot beneath the large monkey, but it will be rejected - it needs to be filled out correctly first. Get in your car and head back to the office. Walk straight over to Sybil's, and give her the form. You now have to undertake three tests to determine whether you have artificial personality disorder. The first test is an inkblot test, and helps to identify the first symptom, which is a random choice of either an obsession with money, or an obsession with fame. Select the following answers for an obsession with money:

• Pennies on the eyes of a dead mime
• An SUV crashing into an opulent mansion
• My uncle Louie's moth-eaten wallet
• Elephants at the New York stock exchange
• A debit card fed through a document shredder

Select the following answers instead if you need an obsession with fame:

• Susan Lucci holding an Emmy
• Pigeons on a the marquee at Mann's Chinese Theater
• An autograph written in Braille
• A cheering crowd of lanky albinos
• That blotchy thing a flashbulb does to your eyes

For the second test, which is free association, you need to respond to words spoken by Sybil. You need to display a violent reaction to either dentistry or hair styling. Listen to each of the words she says, and if it relates to your selected topic, try to shoot her with your gun; if not, just say a random word back to her.

In the third test, you need to walk through a dream sequence and identify key features. You must display a concern with either aging or marriage. If it is aging, select Max as your companion in the room, and place a birthday cake in the doughnut box. If it is marriage, select Sybil as your companion and place a wedding cake in the doughnut box. The other selections don't make any difference. You should now have a completed form. Head back to Brady Culture's "Home" and submit your application form again.

Hypnosis

You will find yourself slowly delivering videos, in the same way Whizzer was earlier. As you walk past the cheese on the table, grab it to get knocked out. You will then find yourself in another dream sequence, where you need to destroy your intruder (Brady Culture). There are four Bradies to get rid of - start by turning off the light switch near the door, and removing the coat hanger from the television. Walk over towards the closet and when the door opens, use the bicycle pump to enlarge the rat. Finally, Try turning over the one-way sign on the wall, and you will notice it temporarily affects gravity. Stand underneath Max's floating head and shoot the sign with your gun, then use Max's head on the last Brady.

When you wake up, talk to Bosco, then go and visit Sybil. She will give you plans for a hypnosis blocking helmet. Give these plans to Bosco, but he is missing an antenna. Go up to your office and grab the coat hanger from the television, then give that to Bosco. Get in your car and you will head off to save Max.

The Final Showdown

Go through the door and you will automatically wear the helmet. After the Poppers start to attack, talk to them. You need to tell them "Become Brady Culture", "Worship Me", then "Attack Me" to complete the game.

After the introduction, talk to Max, then leave your office. Head east down the street and enter Bosco's Inconvenience. Talk to Bosco, and ask for the voice modulator, but it costs $1 million. Try to pick up the can of shaving cream, and a skinbody will appear and steal it. Leave the store and head west to your car. Get in and chase the rats. As you are driving, select the gun and Max will take the wheel. When you shoot at one side of the rats' car, it will swerve to dodge the bullet. Just make them swerve into the manhole in the middle of the road as it appears, and you will get the shaving cream. You will return to town automatically. Use the car again and drive to the studio.

Talk to Lovey Bear at the entrance, and you will receive some free tokens. Head across the room and talk to the guard, who won't let you through the door without a password. Go back to the Whack Da Ratz game on the left and insert a token to play. Shoot the orange rats that pop up - if you get a high enough score you will win a magnet, and if not just keep playing the game until you do. Next, talk to Leonard Steakcharmer at the poker table. Play a game with him, but if he bets, just fold because you will lose. Note that before betting, he looks up behind you. Leave the table and throw your ace of spaces up at the clown's nose above the entrance. Play poker again, and this time bet against Leonard - you will eventually win his 10 million tokens. Leave the casino.

• Fat: she has more folds than an origami accordion
• Radiant: if she fell in nuclear waste, no one would notice
• Perky: the only time she's low is at a limbo contest
• Thrifty: she brings coupons to the penny arcade
• Vulgar: her mouth would make a longshoreman blush
• Punctual: she showed up early for her own funeral

Once you correctly complete five insults you will get the cap gun and the arm from the one-armed bandit. Drive to the casino. Reattach the arm to the one-armed bandit, then insert a token to find the meatball sandwich.

Finale

After the cutscene you will be driving your car. Get out the gun and shoot the sign that you drive beneath to make the car following you crash. Back at the casino back room, head through the door with the warning written on it. When you regain control again, shoot Max with the cap gun. Go left and take the screwdriver. Use the one-armed bandit to hear the phrase "You're on fire". Use the screwdriver on the one-armed bandit, then pick up the voice box.
