Where can i find the original S&M games?
Playing these new games has aroused my memories from back as a kid playing sam and max: hit the road, and and i would really like to play them again. does anyone know where to find them? i've been keeping an eye on ebay, but am only finding versions for mac's. ANY help would be greatly appreciated, and i'm sure other people here might be curious as well, thanks.

Another option is to import the re-release that's coming out next month in the UK. (Don't ask why LucasArts' overseas distributor has more respect for its back catalogue than LucasArts itself, but there ya go.) This is the same version that's been available there for awhile, which is why I think it should turn up on ebay.
And you'll need to download SCUUMVM (or I guess DOSBox) to play the games.
Yes, it would.

Actually, they wouldn't work because it just wouldn't work. The sound drivers for the floppy disk version have a different set of coding compared to the CD-ROM version, possibly to sync the many voices with whatever events occur instead of just music and sound f/x.
But, I'm not a programer, so what do I know? I'm just going by logic (meaning downloading the sounds for the CD game and trying to make it work with the Floppy version is like trying to mix oil and water).
What, oh yeah. Thanks for the tip. Like I said I'll probably just get the re-released version. It can go on my long list of 'games I want to buy'.

BTW, if you are buying on Ebay, look for 'talkie' versions (on CD).
Nope. To my knowledge these releases are fairly common in Europe, but Activision handles that. I don't know if it's that the adventures sell better overseas, or if it's just that LucasArts is too cheap to even try a re-release here.
There is no way I would have just happened upon any of those games, because there's no way I could have found them without actively looking for them in the first place. My fond memories of Maniac Mansion on the NES led me to track down the PC version, and then every LucasArts adventure made after it.
it was a way to promote their upcomming[and cancelled] sam and max sequel
However, this version is corrupted as mentioned on http://www.samandmax.net/2004/01/
ebay is just crazy, go local, visit your friends', sure one of them could give you his (with packaging)
I mean i have almost all of them, they were sold pretty cheap, there are millions of them and people still want to pay premium on ebay. We don't sell, because we just like the game, not because it is an investment -and because boxes are pretty-. Sometimes people just should say "no" you sell overpriced stuff, go shmuck yourself.
(yep i hate ebay, it inflated even the local markets...)
Wow really..I still got my Hit The Road box.. I also have sam and max on the 3 1/2 inch floppys..wonder how much they'd be worth
But, hey! I got Sam & Max, Day of the Tenticle, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, and a few extra stuff for only $40 back then!!
