A Fun New Game That's Fun (For the Whole Family)

Try to sum up one of the Sam & Max games in no more than three sentences. I dare you to find a way of briefly explaining the franchise that doesn't sound like you've been smoking crack if taken out of context.

For instance:

A talking dog and rabbit fight crime in New York city and find out that a sentient colony of bacteria (who happens to be both a stage magician and the leader of a happiness cult) is trying to brainwash the entire world into being happy. They save the day by punching everyone on the planet in the head, knocking them out cold.

    The freelance police team of dog and rabbit uncover a sinister web of the supernatural which stems from the depths of Hell itself. They must confront robots, demons, ghosts, vampires, zombies, aliens and Satan himself as they attempt to prevent the apocalypse from being caused by a trio of bitter child stars.

    A talking dog and rabbit view a film of thier great-grandfathers recover a lengendary toybox as a prize trip to egypt by succeeding in a challenge given to a 40-year old man wearing a fez. They find that somebody has stolen the toybox on the train home, they then trick the man with the fez to stop him from summoning an elder god from another dimension by using a ventriloquist's dummy from the lengendary toybox.

    I think I failed.

    Possible figments of my imagination attempt to stop an evil space gorilla from taking over the world with magic toys, using the psychic powers of a homicidal bunny. Hmm.

    A talking rabbit's brain is stolen by an evil space gorilla. After his partner, a talking dog, retrieves the brain, an Egyptian pharaoh steals the rabbit's body and brainwashes the world using a magic toybox. The pharaoh is defeated after being stabbed in the head with a corkscrew.

    ...Makes sense, doesn't it?

    A talkiing dog and rabbit with huge guns who just happens to be the President of the United States get killed by a European dancing vampire. They come back as zombies and get revenge, eventually putting themselves in each others bodies. Along the way, they create a monster that falls in love with their next-door psychiatrist/journalist/Queen of Canada, who's dating Abe Lincoln's severed head.

    But even with your articulate writing the story itself is just incredible!

    The freelance police team of dog and rabbit must seek out the source of a clone rampage that has shaken the whole town. They learn that the creator of the clones is a bitter psychic ventriloquist's dummy who wants to summon a giant elder god playmate. They stop him with the help of a fez-wearing dark mage and a fragment of the elder god Yog-Soggoth.

    A talking dog & a talking rabbit fight a monkey, a magician, a kid pharoah, a dummy, then the rabbit turns into a monster. The dog does stuff, the bunny dies, & Deus Ex Machina brings em together again.


    Yay!

    A talking dog and bunny go to a t.v. station, auditoin for a t.v. show, try to shoot each other and make some one throw up. There is also a bald man who sells them an inhaler and a baloon for $1000000. At the end they electrocute a pink haired woman by using a cow and a banjo.

    Okay, if you cut out the fact that they're animals, then it actually sounds plausible. For example:

    Two cops, who've been best friends since childhood, fight crime in New York.

    Ta-da!

    You solve crimes by pointing and clicking except for season 3 where you arrow key crimes.

    A dog with a giant gun and a rabbit with new psychic powers must save the world again. While doing so, they meet a talking space gorilla, a bunch of molepeople and elves, a giant cockroach, a museum curator with an elder god growing out of his stomach, and other awesome/crazy characters. Hilarity ensues.

    They are the Freelance Police. They fight crime and expose injustice in situations too dangerous for the normal authorities. Their newest assignment -- assassinate the President of the United States of America.

    Wow...I am impressed. That sounded like the plot of a new summer blockbuster action movie.

    Okay; congrats, Blayze, you are the first successful participant. You win a trophy.

    One of the members of the Freelance Police has been cloned, and only Sam and Max can stop the zombie-like takeover. But who is the Master of the Clones: the eerie museum curator, the suspicious greasy spoon waitress, her nearly indestructible beau, or the buxom geneticist from the other side of the city? As Sam and Max dig deeper, they find the truth to be more horrifying than they could have ever imagined...

    Two police detectives named Sam and Max are pitted against a whimsically-themed mafia gang using hypnotism devices cleverly disguised as teddy bears. They manage to become honourary members to sneak into and destroy the hypnobear factory.

    Thank you. 102 is probably the best other likely candidate; just play up the 'hostage situation' angle. 103, too.
