Sequel split?

Considering the game is in progress and will be released eventually (God help them), I guess splitting into a new article might be senseful? // Gargaj 17:20, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. This section can remain to tell people about the canceled Lucasarts sequel. When Bad Brain release their Sam & Max game, the last paragraph of this section can be split then. --JiFish(^Talk/_Contrib) 18:58, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with JiFish, the new game in production at Telltale Games isn't related at all (content-wise) to Sam & Max Freelance Police. The "Sequel" section concerning Freelance Police should remain in this article, as it was a LucasArts game like Hit the Road, and a new article should be created for the new Sam & Max game (which has yet to be given an official title). – Quoth 02:36, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect error?

Sam and Max: Freelance Police (computer game) redirects to this entry... shouldn't it be redirecting to Sam & Max Freelance Police?

Yeah. We weren't originally going to have a separate article. It has now been fixed. – Quoth 08:06, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Conroy Bumps vs. Heino

This is just a funny thing I just found... Conroy Bumpus from the game looks EXACTLY like german folkstar HEINO ;-)

See for yourselves:

The sign trashing minigame

Is there any point to the sign trashing minigame where Max is standing on Sam's car and jumps whenever a sign comes? (Found on the lower left part of the map)

I didn't figure out any way to win in it, it isn't fun and I can't quit it! OzOz 08:31, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Episodic games

Maybe we could add a bit more about the episodic games from Telltale now that the season is almost over?

Link in Technical issues

I've removed the link to the altered exe file because it's a copyright violation. redistributing an altered version of a copyrighted piece of software. I've left the text in place because it's a worthwhile notable fact that someone loves the game so much that they would spend time fixing it's faults. - X201 08:29, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The cameo appearances section

I think this section should be removed; I don't think Wikipedia is the place for it, and besides, this article isn't about the characters Sam and Max, but a game that featured them. CountingPine 16:47, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since there are no counter-arguments, I shall remove this section. Whether or not it should be revived and put on the Sam & Max page is another issue. Last chance for objections...? CountingPine (talk) 11:11, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Windows version

Was it released in North America? Ham Pastrami (talk) 13:55, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I know that the CD-ROM version was included as part of the Lucasarts Classics collection, although I don't know if it was also released separately. --Alan Au (talk) 22:07, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
