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 =]

    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

    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.

    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 :D

    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.

    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).

    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.
