Is it just me or should they re-release Hit the Road or make a sequel, cause I never got to play, and I really want to.

    I have a copy on disc that works perfect on Vista with no need to use scummvm or dosbox. So, there are copies out there. I got it really cheap too.

    I ebayed mine for about £5. Having just tried to find the same copy as I have on Amazon.com, it made me realise that my copy seems to be a UK release only, so if you live in America it would be best for you to go with Irishmile's suggestions. If you live in the UK though, it's this one:

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sam-Max-Hit-Road-PC/dp/B00005Q6XJ/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1293124829&sr=8-4

    As you can see, it is quite cheap.

    You know, I had a similar thought.

    Please see my last post in that thread to see how that turned out. ;)

    I really would rather them just sell the original, or a remake that's the exact same as the original, in the store.

    Telltale has no rights to hit the road.

    I know that. I mean they should try to get the rights or the permission to do so.

    Lucasarts didnt even give them permission to create freelance police, and it was cancelled. What makes you think they will recreate an old game of theirs.

    That wasnt a remake, that was lucasarts saying "hey lets use telltale for a quick buck"
    Telltale remaking a full game of theirs is just stupid, but if lucasarts were to remake some of their old games on steam, like loom, that could work.

    *pulls to one side*

    Just to let you know, Tales of Monkey Island was a new game by Telltale and LucasArts, the remake was The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition and Monkey Island 2: Special Edition, and yes all of these were released on Steam.

    I have this game on an emulator. Sucky thing is, it has absolutely no save option; you play it all the way through or you don't finish it.

    F5 was the button to push to save on most of those old lucasarts games. :^)

    I don't see why not. If lucas has hit the road and steve holds the sam and max rights..... they could just do a monkey island special edition and make it prettier!

    Telltale didn't make those, they were made by Lucasarts.

    They Don't need Steve's permission they'd need it from Lucas Arts

    In fact, Lucas Arts can not do anything on their end before they get permission from Steve.

    This is a catch 22: Steve can't touch Hit the Road because Lucas Arts owns the program code. Also, Lucas Arts can not rerelease or do anything with Hit the road because Lucas Arts does not have the neccessary rights to the characters Sam and Max.

    Answer to this mess: Both Steve and "Some Exec" from Lucas Arts must ask for a Hit the Road Project at the very same time.

    One of them needs to be willing to ask first, if lucasarts asked im sure steve would say yes in a heartbeat, but if steve asked lucasarts might demand something else in return, they just need to ask and get permission, if anyone up in telltale is reading this, show it to steve, now, NOW!
