Sam & Max Hit the Road, the classic LucasArts adventure game, has a built-in debug mode that can be accessed through a few methods:
Debug Mode Activation
To enable the debug mode in the original DOS version:
- Open the file "samnmax.001" in a hex editor
- Change the byte sequence starting at 0x3995 from 0C692622 to 06696969
- After this edit, press Ctrl + D during gameplay to activate debug mode
Note: This method only works with the original DOS interpreter, not with ScummVM.
Debug Commands
Once debug mode is active, you can use the following commands:
- Ctrl + E: Examine/Change a SCUMM variable
- Ctrl + F: Activate fast mode
- Ctrl + G: Go to a specific room
- Ctrl + O: Pick up an object
- Ctrl + L: Enter a Boot Parameter
- Alt (hold): Temporary fast mode
Easter Eggs
The game also includes some hidden features:
- During the ending credits, clicking on any text or figures will cause Sam or Max to shoot at them.
- Repeatedly attempting to pick up an unpickable object will result in Sam breaking down and crying, with Max scolding the player for breaking Sam's "care-free spirit".
These debug features and easter eggs add an extra layer of fun for players looking to explore the game beyond its main storyline.
