Unlock Sam & Max Hit the Road Cheats Now!

    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:

    1. Open the file "samnmax.001" in a hex editor
    2. Change the byte sequence starting at 0x3995 from 0C692622 to 06696969
    3. 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:

    1. During the ending credits, clicking on any text or figures will cause Sam or Max to shoot at them.
    2. 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.
