To tell, or not to tell. That is the question.
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
the slings and arrows of outrageous ignorance,

And by knowledge to say we end

that makes calamity of such knowledge.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of cheating,
the oppressor's punishment, the proud man's scorn,
the pangs of despising lovers, the law's delay,
the insolence of Telltale and the spurns

by simply not knowing. Who would fardels bear,
to grunt and sweat for your games,
but for that dread of something after cheating,
the undiscovered country, from whose bourn
no traveller returns, puzzles the will,
and makes us rather bear those ills we have
than fly to others we know not of.
Thus conscience doth make cowards of us all,
and thus the native hue of resolution
is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,

with this regard their currents turn awry,
and lose the name of action.
You have to double-click the menu tab as well. Hello, I'm Kedri. This is the second time Maratanos has claimed my credit without citing sources, so he's forced my hand and I've now joined the forum.:p
It wasn't intentionally left in, but we never intended to take it out, either. There's nothing you can really do with it except go to different parts of the game and potentially mess up the game logic.

We've just finished up six episodes where we
foiled the plot of an evil rainbow-obsessed magician bent on world harmony through hypnosis via moon lasers, mafia-supplied stuffed animals, sentient network constructs, television talk-show hosts, and the mechanized Lincoln Memorial, through such spurious means as repeated blunt-force-trauma, kidnapping, extortion, and the election of a psychotic lagomorph to the Presidency of the United States...
and you're worried about us messing up the game's logic?
Yes. Messing up the games logic would be very easy, with instant teleportation. Try teleporting to the inner sanctum of the Blister of Tranquility without having the required items to be able to beat the game... Not fun.

Well, I suppose with the debug mode you can at least watch the credits, which might be fun. How was the code discovered by us, anyway?
Oval Office: Act 2, Abe chase, and the Text Adventure. So far, the first was the least buggy, with me being able to at least walk around. The second crashed instantly, and I could see Abe body parts everywhere, and the third was missing Sam & Max, and crashed the moment I tried to do something.
Heh! It was only a matter of time before people noticed that those are there (hint: theyre in all versions of the Sam & Max episodes). Use at your own risk, not recommended for use with save games. Harmful if swallowed.
I was messing around with debug mode in Episode One and Max turned invisible! He could still talk, but his voice was disembodied and he was nowhere to be seen.
I still haven't tried this, nor did I know about it until today, but can I claim original credit for it anyways? I am looking forward to trying this soon, just because it is possible.
*Darth Sidius like* GOOOoooood....Hm, are there any other points that it would be nice to just link to? The text adventure doesn't work, unfortunately.

Not sure why it doesn't work for you - it worked for me just fine. I started the game, pulled up the Debug menu, clicked "Text Adventure" and there it was. Even went through from there and beat it again without incident.
I only tried it in episode one, but the theme seemed to be that they put shortcuts to the start of every "cutscene" or new area into the debug mode. Which isn't surprising really, since they probably had to go over each of those scenes a couple hundred times in production.
Really? The moment I clicked "Get," my whole computer went kablooie.
Oh, right. If you do it at the wrong place, it actually downgrades your computer to a Commodore 64.
Try typing in: "Load Microsoft Windows XP,8,1" and press return.
If that doesn't work, type in "Load Windows XP" followed by return, and then press play on tape. If neither of that work, you should try inserting another disk into your floppy drive, and type in "LIST" to make sure you have it installed.
If that doesn't work, I got some old instructions in BASIC on how to make a balloon move up and down on your screen. In a flash(well, a really slow flash, lasting a couple of hours), your PC(reborn as C64) will be turned into an entertainment system.

I originally found out about the cheat from GameFAQs. The original topic I started is here: http://www.uruobsession.com/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=97&t=31199&
Not to mention that in some cases, using Debug can sometimes cause the graphics to glitch up...
If it was him, then it went through him to Cyberlink420, to Me, and finally to Maratanos here. My brain hurts.
Although they kid you not when they say it goofs with some stuff. Seriously, use at own risk.

The comments about "Load Windows XP,8, 1" and "Press Play on Tape" are sarcasm. That's how games were loaded back in the Commodore 64 days.
How did you turn Max invisible?
That's ridiculous... it would never work like that.
You would have to type LOAD"$",8 first.
I dunno, he just was.
I found a similar thing, just the other way around: Max could be seen, but I couldn't hear his voice... I think it's called "volume slider".
