I was around 8-9 when i was stuck in Sam & Max: Hit the Road for a long time. Restarted the game and got stuck on the same spot. Finally caved and asked my brother how proceed, at which point he showed me a walkthrough. It blew my mind that that was a thing!
I loaded it onto my Steam Deck not too long ago and my 19 year old son had a blast watching me play it. A few of the jokes did not age well, but over all it is amazing still.
What are some jokes that didn’t age well? That’s always a thing when playing 90s comedy games. Probably not many games worse than the Leisure Suit Larry series!
I was never able to figure out that you had to put a magnet onto the hand grabber, and then put the hand grabber into the giant ball of yarn to grab something.

Which spot were you stuck on?
I was stuck on getting the light bulb from the fireplace in their office for far longer than I care to admit. Thanks for the help GaneFAQs.
I don’t remember that part! Been a long, long time. Wish it had been remastered like Day of the Tentacle was.

Some of the stuff with the conjoined twins. And how they talk about Trixie.
I’ll have to watch a playthrough again to jog my memory.
It is, or was available on gog as well as steam.

I remember that part! Typical point n click moon logic.
Think there was an extra step to put the hand on the broken grabber too right?
Maybe? It’s been about 17 years since my last play through. Maybe I should get it running on my steam deck!
Indeed you should. Scummvm worked really well for monkey Island 3 on it for me
