So I just noticed

raycichocki

the weirdest thing happening today when replaying Curse of Monkey Island. I don't know if this happened in other folks games or what cuz I've never seen this before.



What I think is odd is that this game wasn't made by TellTale so why would that character be referenced in this game? Maybe its cuz my version isn't 100% solid. I did get it off a friend on the internet so maybe it was tampered with. Either way, this is still pretty weird to me. I truly have never seen this before.


EDIT: alright nevermind i'm dumb. ahha

Noob! Just kidding Seriously though, this is a well known easter egg within COMI. Sam & Max have appeared in every Monkey Island game up to EFMI. Telltale did not create Sam & Max, Steve Purcell did, starting with comics and then working with Lucasarts on the first Sam & Max game which is titled 'Sam & Max Hit the Road'.

Steve Purcell (much) later, worked with Telltale Games to create the first season of Sam & Max (or 'Sam & Max Save the World' if you like). I strongly suggest an education of 'Hit the Road', 'Day of the Tentacle' and 'Fate of Atlantis' for you sir

Yeah, Sam and Max are in the costume shop on Booty Island in MI2 and out the front of the Giant Monkey Head in SM1 =]

Mataku

there's also a max portrait in the barber shop in MI3 (you can only see it when Van Van Helgen is not there,tho. )


p.s
don't pirate a pirate game >.<

Oh dear lord. I really never noticed that! And I never play S&M is so its not wonder I don't know anything about where they came from. oh well! I still find it weird that I never noticed them in that particular scene though. I guess I was always just focusing on getting the lights right. Thanks anyways haha

The Commissioner

I like the Max portrait that appears in the past in Day of the Tentacle.

Sam & Max appear in all sorts of places!

Indeed, infact I saw them on the town last night, Max was making a right fool of himself... too many tequila slammers methinks.

Mataku

this thread is now about finding all Sam and Max references in lucasarts games.

Well, I think I saw Max in Star Wars: Republic Hero's but to be fair it may just have been a trigger happy clone trooper.

Seriously, speaking of Lucasarts FPS's... how about Max's cameo in Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight? Absolute. Classic.

That player sucks... if you leave Max to his own devises (by NOT attacking him) then he'll go on a bloody rampage

Every time someone brings that one up I wonder: is there any way to see it in-game? Isn't he standing in front of it the whole time?

when he's going crazy playing the banjo, instead of shooting him, go back to the barber shop, and vuala

There's also a subtle reference to Max in Chapter 3 of ToMI.

When climbing up from the bottom of the sea, the camera pans over a clam with corals behind it looking suspiciously like the clam you used to fool the sea chimps in Season 2 of Sam and Max.

Scrawffler

I'd seen the Max spotlight but hadn't spotted the picture behind Van Helgan.

But yeah. There are a lot of Sam and Max easter eggs in the LucasArts classics. I remember seeing Max (and sometimes Sam too) in Last Crusade, Monkey Island 1, 2 & 3, Day of the Tentacle and Full Throttle.

I really hope that Telltale gives us a slightly better reference though. I did spot the reference straight away but why didn't they make the corals truly look like Max's ears?! Come on Telltale, hang a portrait of Max in a future episode (maybe in the courtroom, with a judge's wig on).

jmm

I'd like them to add a more overt reference but, is Telltale allowed to do so?
Granted, Telltale holds the license to do Sam&Max games but MI' license is not owned
by Telltale (so in fact Steve Purcell needs to give permission to Telltale for using S&M in MI)

Anyway, if all the legalese is worked out, then Max should appear as a "Most Wanted" poster inside the courtroom

You know I've played All the Monkey Island games, and Indiana Jones, and Full Throttle. I never knew about Sam and Max until I started playing tales. I was completely oblivious to what they meant. I thought it was weird, but funny.
