After creating two successful adventure game adaptations of the Bone comic book
series, Telltale Games has now switched its efforts to creating episodic games
for the crime-fighting dog and rabbit duo, Sam and Max. In this first game in
the season, Sam and Max have noticed that a crime wave caused by a group of
former child stars known as the Soda Poppers has started. It soon becomes clear
that the Soda Poppers have all been hypnotised, and it's up to Sam and Max to
find out by who and why. Featuring a similar style of humour as the original,
this is a very promising start to a season of six episodic games.
Get the boxing glove from the window sill and the bowling ball near the mouse
hole. Open the closet door and use the big gun on the pile o' cheese. Use the
pile o' cheese to get the swiss cheese. Use the swiss cheese on the rat hole to
talk to the rat. Select any speech option as Max. Select Sam and say "Got a
headache, eh?" to discover that the rat is scared of heights. Select Max and
say "I'll hang you out to dry!" to get the phone. Use the office door.
TOWN

out by the glove at the entrance. Give the $10000 to Bosco and say "What've you
got?". Say "Okay, what's behind the counter?". Say "Give us the tear gas" to
pay Bosco for the tear gas grenade launcher. Exit the shop.
Walk west to the other side of town and enter Sybil's office. Say "See you
later" to end the conversation. Use the tear gas grenade launcher on Peepers
and then use the boxing glove on him. Open the closet door to meet Sybil. She

TOWN
Enter Sybil's office. Give the symptoms form to Sybil and remember the three
symptoms she mentions. Say "Let's try inkblots". If the first symptom on the
symptoms form was fame, select options 3, 2, 4, 2 and 1. If the symptom was
money, select options 1, 3, 2, 1 and 4 to pass the first test.
Say "Let's try free association" to start the second test. The aim here is to
react violently by using the gun on Sybil if she mentions a word that has
something to do with the second symptom. If the symptom was hairdressing for
example, use the gun on Sybil if she mentions a word like comb. If the word
has nothing to do with the symptom, just look at an object in the room.
Say "Let's try dream analysis" to start the third test. If the third symptom
was to know a peer's age, select the donut box and say "A birthday cake", then
select the person and say "Max". If the third symptom was to marry your mom,
select the donut box and say "A wedding cake", then select the person and say
"You" to get the signed symptoms form. Exit the office. Use the Desoto and
say "Brady Culture's "home" for former child stars" to return to the home.
