Sam and Max Seison One: Episode 1: Culture Shock

If you found this walkthrough via Google search or another site, you probably haven't visited my site.

Many more highly detailed game walkthroughs can be found on my site and here is the url to my site: www.pcgameswalkthroughs.nl

To pass the time, Sam plays Wilhelm Tell and tries to shoot an apple off Max's head with his gun.

Then suddenly the phone rings. However, when Max wants to answer the phone, the phone appears to have disappeared. The rat, who has also taken up residence in the office, has stolen the phone and demands Swiss cheese in exchange for the phone. Unfortunately, Max no longer remembers where he left the Swiss Cheese.

You now have control over the game. You control Sam while Max constantly runs back and forth like an annoying lunatic. You can take a look around the office and click on anything you can to hear Sam's commentary. You can already pick up some items that you will need later in the game. Sam is standing to the left of the desk and in front of the window. You can't see it, but in the windowsill of the left window is a red boxing glove. There is a dartboard on the wall on the left. Click on the dartboard so that Sam will take a look at it. You will then see the boxing glove on the windowsill. Grab the red Boxing Glove.

Walk to the right through the room. In the corner, to the right of the desk, is a filing cabinet. You now also see the rat hole.

There is a blue Bowling Ball on the floor to the right of the filing cabinet. Grab the blue Bowling Ball.

To the right of the rat hole is the door of a cupboard. Click on the cupboard door and Sam opens the cupboard. The cupboard is full of....cheese....Click on the cheese. Unfortunately, it is not Swiss Cheese. Find Max and click on Max to talk to the stupid rabbit. You will then receive a screen with possible topics of conversation that you can talk about with Max. On the left of this screen is Sam's icon and this icon is now white. This means that this is the dialogue screen for Sam. You can now talk to Max about all topics by clicking on a topic.

Always use all conversation options in conversations and you will never skip an important question or answer. I'm definitely not going to keep typing out all the conversations for you. If you simply go through all the conversation options, you will automatically get the information or answer you need. And you won't miss any of Sam and Max's absurd humor. I always tell you which option you should really use in conversations. But since this is your first time, I'll tell you now that the most important thing to ask Max is "Got any Swiss cheese?". Max then answers that he doesn't like Swiss Cheese because it has holes in it. Finish by clicking on "Let's get to work".

Swiss cheese has holes. So holes have to be made in the chunks of cheese in the cupboard. There is always a brown box at the bottom left. That is your inventory and it is where your items are stored. Click on the box and the items inside will roll out. Click on Sam's pistol (Big Gun) and Sam pulls his pistol out of the holster. Your cursor is now the gun's sights. Click with the crosshairs on the stack of cheese in the cupboard and .....Sam shoots holes in the cheese.

Take the piece of Swiss Cheese from your inventory immediately and click with it on the Rat Den, behind Sam, and.........

.......The rat comes out, grabs the cheese but refuses to give the phone back. Max gets pissed and grabs the rat by the scruff of the neck and puts it on the desk. The dialogue screen appears. Now the dialogue screen has 2 icons. The top icon is Sam and the bottom icon is Max. Well... again use all the options, but now you have to switch between Sam and Max every time. Click on Max's icon to activate his dialogues. If you click on "I'll wring your little neck" you will experience that the rat is not afraid and says that Max's nagging gives him a headache. Activate Sam's dialogues by clicking on the Sam icon and then say "Got a headache, eh?"

The rat then says that he is afraid of heights. Switch back to Max in the dialogue screen and click "I'll hang you out to dry". And....

......Max grabs the rat and hangs it out of the window and....the rat now spits out the phone.

There is work to be done for Sam and Max. Bosco, the owner of the Corner Store needs the Freelance Police.

On the right is a boy spraying graffiti. If you place your cursor on that boy, you will experience that his name is Specs. Walk to Specs by clicking on him.

A conversation with Specs follows. Specs turns out to be quite a celebrity and is a member of the Soda Poppers club.

Specs is talking about a certain Brady Culture, the creator of the Eye-Bo fitness program. It is the portrait of this Brady Culture that Specs is spraying on the roller shutter. Eye-Bo fitness seems to be a technique to train the eyes. A seasoned Eye-Bower can then see through walls and through someone's clothes. Apparently there's also a videotape of that Eye-Bo fitness program. Ask Specs further about that video tape and he tells you that this tape is available in the Bosco store.

On the right you see Bosco's store, Bosco's Inconvenience. Click on the door of Bosco's shop to enter.

Shopkeeper Bosco is completely upset. Apparently there is a terrorist in his store, a "Munchkin terrorist" and he wants to get rid of it. Ask Bosco "What munchkin terrorist?". Bosco then points out another member of the Soda Popper's gang, a man named Whizzer. Ask "What's he doing?". .Whizzer has placed an entire rack of Brady's Eye-Bo videos in Bosco's store without asking. Ask Bosco further about anything else and you will find out that Bosco does have a security system, but it only works if something is stolen from the store, not if something is brought in. Bosco also complains that Whizzer goes to the toilet very often. Close the conversation via "See ya, Bosco". Sam is standing in front of the counter.......Max is hopping around happily. To Sam's right there is a piece of cheese on the round table. Grab the piece ofSlice o'cheese.

Walk to the left. To the left of the counter is the rack with the Eye-Bo video tapes. Click on the rack and Sam takes out a video tape.

You also see that Whizzer behind the rack. Whizzer keeps putting down a box and then drinks from a can and then.he runs out of the store like an idiot with his empty box to get new videos. Talk to Bosco again. Now say: "We wanna buy something" and then ask "What've you got?". Bosco says he has a very interesting item behind the counter. So ask: "Okay, what's behind the counter?" It turns out to be a tear gas grenade launcher. So say: “Give us the tear Gas.” Unfortunately, Bosco wants $10,000 for it and Sam and Max don't have that. So just say "Niver Mind" to end this. Sam really wants that grenade launcher, but to get the necessary $10,000 he will first have to arrest someone. Past the rack with the videos is the "Fine Kwizine" corner. Make sure Sam is at the "Fine Kwizine" corner and when Whizzer is back, quickly click on the boy to talk to him. Use all dialogue options

Just like Specs, Whizzer is also crazy about Brady Culture and his Eye-Bo fitness program. You can try to arrest Whizzer, but it won't work. End the conversation. Remember what Bosco said about his safety system? Now try to put the piece of cheese that you just stole from the table into Whizzer's box.

However, this does not work as long as Whizzer remains standing near his box. So Whizzer needs to be lured away....You heard from Bosco that Whizzer goes to the toilet quite often. Apparently Whizzer is often in "dire need", which is no wonder considering the amount of Coke cans the kid downs. Walk to the left and you will see the toilet door. Click on the toilet door and........

Max would like to use the toilet. While Max is occupying the toilet, Whizzer is about to burst.

As soon as Max comes out again, Whizzer runs into the toilet and leaves his box unattended.

Quickly take the piece of Cheese from your inventory and click with it again on Whizzer's, now unattended, box and.......

Sam puts the stolen piece of cheese in Whizzer's box, who then comes out of the toilet. Whizzer grabs his box and wants to leave the store with it, but.........

...Whizzer gets now knocked out by Bosco's security system, because he tries to smuggle a piece of cheese out of the store without paying.

We now see that this entire scene is being watched by an unknown person through a video monitor. Who is this mysterious person?

Walk to the right and leave the store. Back on the street, walk to the left.

Continue to the left, to the entrance to Sam and Max's office. Click on the front door and Sam and Max end up back in their house

The Video Recorder (VCR) is on the left of the desk. The TV is on top of the VCR. Take the Videotape from your inventory and click it on the VCR.

Sam puts the tape in the VCR but Max screams that he doesn't want to watch a movie without popcorn.

So while the tape is running, Sam and Max leave the office and we see the Rat being hypnotized by Brady Culture.

So that's the secret of the Eye-Bo fitness therapy. Sam and Max return and find the hypnotized rat and decide they have to stop that Brady Culture.

The TV is on the VCR. Click on the TV to turn it on and you will see a video about the Soda Poppers and Bradly Culture. When the video ends, Sam automatically turns off the TV. Then click on the TV again to see a new video about the Soda Poppers Gang. Repeat this until there are no more new videos. The announcer then says "Coming up next...we repeat everything you've just heard". So there are 4 or 5 videos to watch and then they are repeated.

Through these TV videos you will experience that the Brady Culture TV show had to make way for the Soda Poppers show. As a result, Brady became unemployed and vowed revenge on the Soda Poppers. It is therefore all the more surprising that the Soda Poppers are now advertising the Eye-Bo fitness program from Brady Culture. Once you have watched all the videos, take the videocassette out of the VCR recorder and leave the office

A police car is parked on the corner, to the left of Sam and Max's office. It's a Desoto Police car. Across the street is Sybil's shop. Sybil has a psychotherapy practice. Do not click on the police car but continue to the left until Sam is standing in front of the front of the police car. You then look into the side street.

A yellow car is parked behind the police car and at the back of the street you see the metro.

Click on those posters and Sam walks further into the side street to the back.

You see a can of spray paint on the rear bumper of the yellow car. Grab the Spray Paint Can.

Walk back to the police car, so to the front of the side street, and then click on the Police car now because we are now going to hunt for "rich criminals" who drive too fast, to give them a speeding fine. Max asks where we are going. So click on "Let's go give a ticket to a rich criminal" and... Sam and Max drive away at full speed in the police car on the hunt for speeders.

So you rush through the city streets at full speed. You keep driving down the same street and going straight. You can control the car by clicking on the place you want to go. That could also be the sidewalk. At the bottom left, from top to bottom, you see your gun, a megaphone and a horn. At the bottom right you will see the Office symbol. How do you stop a car driving in front of Sam and Max?

A car keeps popping up in front of the police car. Click on that car so that the police car crashes into it. If you miss the car, you simply drive on to the next car. If Sam crashes the police car into the back of the car in front, the police car will continue to drive directly behind that car. Then quickly click on the gun and then use the cross cursor on the taillight of the car in front of you. Sam then smashes the taillight.

You then hear Sam say "Please accept my condolences for breaking your taillight".

Then click on the Megaphone and then click on "Pull over" in the dialog box. The car in front of you stops and Sam and Max get out.

The dialog box will appear. Click on "Hedious broken taillight" and the driver will pay the $10,000 fine. Sam and Max then get back into the police car. Then click on the Office symbol to return to the Office. However, you can repeat this as many times as you want, but raising $10,000 once is enough. Once you click on the Office symbol, Sam and Max return to the side street and park the police car there.

Back at the corner of the street, walk to the right again, to the Bosco store. Enter Bosco's shop again. Whizzer is still unconscious on the floor. Talk to Bosco and say "We wanna buy something" again and then "Give us the tear gas" and Sam now obtains the Tear Gas Grenate Launcher in exchange for 10,000 dollars. Sam is then knocked out by Bosco's safety system. Leave the store and walk back to the left, to the side street. Cross the side street and click on the door of Sybil's and Sam and Max will go in there

When Sam and Max came in you saw how the door of a cupboard rattled. The Soda Popper who says he is Sybil Pandemik is not Sybil Panderik but goes by the name Peepers. Peepers tries to pretend to be Sybil, but Max doesn't fall for it. Talk to Peepers until you get tired of them. Peepers continues to insist that he is Sybil Pandemik. Peepers is clearly under the influence of Bradlly Culture, just like the other two Soda Poppers. If you've had enough of this nonsense, just end the conversation.

Walk to the right and then click on the cupboard door and.....Sam frees the real Sybil Pandemik, who was locked in the cupboard by Peepers. Sybil takes a seat behind her desk and wants Sam to arrest that crazy Peepers. Ask Sybil everything you can ask, but especially "What is the charge". Sybil gives a whole speech about Peepers' condition, but the bottom line is that Peepers seems to be hypnotized. Then ask Sybil "What can we do?". Sybil can bring Peepers out of hypnosis, but then Peepers must first be knocked unconscious. The conversation is then over. So we are standing in front of Sybil's desk and Peepers is standing in front of the sofa, on the right. Take the Tear Gas Grenade Launcher from your inventory and then click with the crosshairs on Peepers and.....

Sam shoots a tear gas grenade into Peepers forehead, causing Peepers to start crying. Quickly... store the grenade launcher by clicking with your right mouse button and then quickly take the red Boxing Glove from your inventory and click on Peepers while he is still crying. Max then knocks Peepers unconscious

If you where too slow with the boxing glove, Peepers will have stopped crying again and you will not be able to knock him out him with the boxing glove. Peepers will then runs away for a while but comes back. Then do this thing again, so Peepers lies unconscious on the floor and Sybil now ensures that he comes out of hypnosis by shouting out a few specific sentences. When Peepers is "normal" again, he tells us that Brady Culture runs a "Home for ex-child stars". Unfortunately, Peepers has forgotten where that home is. But maybe his brothers, Specs and Whizzer, know.

Peepers disappears. Walk to the left and then click on the Exit door to leave Sybil's. Back in the street, walk to the right again and walk to the stairs of Sam and Max's office. Specs has also painted a Brady Culture portrait on the facade to the left of the stairs. Take the Spray paint can from your inventory and click with it on this graffiti and.....

Sam "messes up" Specs's graffiti and Specs comes running to repair the damage. Quickly click on the front door to enter the office again. In the office, the left window is open, and right under the left window Specs is now repairing his graffiti. Quickly...take the Bowling Ball from your inventory and click with it in the opened left window and....

Sam and Max look out the window and see Specs standing right below them. Now click on Specs with the blue Bowling Ball.

Specs gets knocked out. However, that mysterious guy has seen everything on his video monitor again. Leave the office.

Back on the street, walk slightly to the left and then click on the unconscious Specs, who is lying on the ground next to the stairs.

Sam uses the same phrases he heard Sybil use earlier against Peepers. Specs also comes out of the hypnosis and now gives Sam and Max the house number of Brady's home, which is 227. Unfortunately, Specs does not know which street this house is on, but Whizzer does. So go back to Bosco's store and enter again.

Whizzer is still lying on the floor in Bosco's shop. Click on Whizzer and Sam will mutter Sybil's sentences again to also release Whizzer from the hypnosis. Whizzer asks where he is and who Sam and Max are. Sam says he is the Freeware Police and......when he hears the word POLICE, Whizzer smears 'um.....into a van and Sam and Max follow Whizzer in the police car:

Sam and Max race after Whizzer, who has fled in a van. Boxes keep flying out of the van and you have to avoid them. Whizzer has a lead, so you have to catch up with him. Again, at the bottom left, you have the gun, the megaphone and the horn. Again you steer the police car by clicking with your mouse arrow where you want to go. Avoid the crates and try to get as close to the van as possible. To get closer to the van, you have to click on the van. As soon as you drive close enough behind the van, click on the gun and then aim the crosshair cursor at the rear tires of the van. One shot is enough.

Sam manages to shoot out the back tire of the van and Whizzer is "arrested".

Whizzer then points out the house where Brady's "Home for former Child Stars" is located, which turns out to be across the street.

Sam and Max are standing in front of what appears to be a movie theater or theater, housing Brady Cultrure's "House for Ex-Child Stars." According to the large sign, treatment for "Artificial Personality Disorder" is provided inside. The doors are locked, so we can't go in. Between the doors is a cash register booth with a toy monkey in it. To the left of the cash register there is a box containing "Admission Forms". Under the monkey there is a slot where you have to put such a form.

Click on the "Admission Forms" box and Sam will take out a Symptoms Form and read through it. To gain access you must meet 3 specific personality disorders. Sam lists them. Make a note of the 3 symptoms that Sam mentions because these 3 disorders can be different in every game. If you couldn't write it down so quickly, click on the tray with forms again so Sam can read it out again.

You can put the form in the slot under the monkey, but the monkey will refuse the form because the form must first be filled out correctly. Max says the form must be completed by a certified psychiatrist. So walk back to the left and get back into the police car by clicking on it. Max asks where we're going, so click on "Let's get back to the office" and we end up back on the corner of the side street. Click on Sybil's door.

Sam and Max go back to Sybil's. Sybil is still sitting behind her desk. Take the Symptoms Form from your inventory and give the form to Sybil. Sam asks Sybil if she can determine whether he suffers from Artificial Personality Disorder and he once again lists the 3 symptoms that he must have. Sybil is willing to subject Sam to some tests. In the dialogue screen you now get 3 tests that Sam must submit to. The 3 tests are: the Inkblot test, the Free association test and the Dream test. The answers you have to give for each test must take into account the 3 symptoms that Sam must have according to the Symptoms Form. Click on the test you want to take. We start with the:

Inkblots test

With this test, Sybil determines whether Sam has an obsession with Money or Fame. The answers you have to give therefore depend on whether in your game Sam should have an obsession with Money or with Fame. Sybil keeps showing Sam an inkblot image and Sam has to tell what he thinks it represents.

So choose the answers that correspond to the symptom Money or Fame. So you learned in your game that Sam must have an obsession with Money, then you choose the answers that have to do with Money. However, if you have learned that Sam must have an obsession with Fame, then you choose the answers that have to do with Fame.

Drawing 1:

If in your game money is the symptom, click on "Pennies on the eyes of a dead mime". If fame is the symptom for you, click on: "Susan Lucci holding an Emmy".

Drawing 2:

The answer to Money is: "An SUV crashing into an opulent mansion". The answer to Fame is: "Pigeons on the Marquee at mann's Chinese theater"

Drawing 3:

The answer to Money is: "My uncle's Louie's moth-eaten wallet". The answer to Roem is: "An autograph written in Braille".

Drawing 4:

The answer for Money is: "Elephants at the New York Stock Exchange". The answer to Fame is: "A cheering crowd of lanky Albinos".

Drawing 5:

The answer to Money is: "A debit card fed through a document shredder". The answer to Fame is: "That blotchy thing a flashbulbs does to your eyes".

If you have given the correct 5 answers, Sybil concludes that Sam has an obsession with Money or Fame. Then continue with:

Free Association Test

This test is to determine whether Sam has an obsession with Hairdressers or with the Dentist. The answers you have to give therefore depend on whether in your game Sam has to show aggressive behavior towards everything that has to do with Hairdressers or with the Dentist.

Sybil keeps mentioning a word. If that word has nothing to do with hairdressers or the dentist, click on Sybil and then click on any answer in the list. However, if Sybil mentions a word that DOES have to do with Hairdressers or the Dentist, you open the inventory box and take out the Boxing Glove or the Pistol and use it to click on Sybil.

So if Sam has learned in your game that he has to react aggressively to words that have to do with Hairdressers, then you click on Sybill with the gun or with the boxing glove when Sybil gives you a word that has to do with hairdressers. For all other words, simply click on Sybil and then any answer.

However, if Sam has learned in your game that he has to react violently to words that have to do with the Dentist, then you click on Sybil with the gun or the boxing glove when she gives you a word that has to do with the Dentist. For all other words, simply click on Sybil and then any answer.

Words related to Hairdressers are: Com, Dryer, Teasing, Shampoo, Tint.

Words related to Dentist are: Drill, Crown, Fluoride, Polish, Filling.

If you do this correctly, Sybil will conclude that Sam reacts violently to everything that has to do with the Hairdresser or the Dentist, and will then fill this in on the form. Then continue with:

Dream Analysis test

Sam tells Sybil his dream. Sam is in his office. You now have to click on certain things you see in the office. If Sam in your game wants to see his friends grow older, then you have to click on the items related to AGE. However, if Sam has been told in your game that he wants to marry his Mother, then click on the things that have to do with MOTHER.

Age

Click on the Black Silhouette and then click on "Max" in the text screen. Max appears

Walk to the left and then click on the purple Donut Box, which is in front of the left window on the floor, and then choose the Birthday Cake.

Marrying your Mother:

Click on the Black Silhouette and then click on "You" in the text screen and Sybil will appear as Sam's mother. Click on the purple Donut Box and then click on the Wedding Cake

If you make the right choices, Sybil concludes that Sam indeed suffers from the Artificial Personality Order and she fills this in on the form and signs it. Leave Sybil and click on the police car again and drive it back to "Brady's Culture's Home for Former Child Stars".

Take the now completed Symptoms Form from your inventory and put the form back in the slot under the monkey and.....we can now enter.

The right gate has opened, so click on the right door and Sam and Max will go inside and meet Brady Culture.

Brady hypnotizes Sam, causing Sam to become Brady's new video tape delivery boy at Bosco's store:

Sam walks in and out of Bosco's store with a box full of video tapes. Just like Whizzer did before. You have to keep paying attention.

When Sam walks out of the store again and is near the cheese table, you quickly click on the cheese on the table and........

Sam grabs the piece of cheese and gets, just like Whizzer earlier, knocked out by the boxing glove of Bosco's security system

In his dream Sam is in his office. There are 4 Brady Culture's in the office. In front of the left window is Max's body with Brady's head on top. There is also a Brady Culture in the ceiling lamp and you can see Brady Culture in the TV. If you walk to the right and open the cupboard door, you will see that there is also a Cheese Brady Culture in the cupboard. Max's head floats above the left window and the Rat stands to the right of the desk. Sam must make the 4 Bradys disappear. On the wall, to the right of the office door, there is a "One-Way Sign" and there is also the light switch for the ceiling lamp...

Click on that "One-Way Sign" and Sam finds out it's loose. Sam kicks the Sign and the room turns. The ceiling is then the floor and the floor is then the ceiling. Max's head then falls down. But unfortunately... the room turns around automatically and Max's head hangs above again. When you regain control, make sure that Sam is standing directly under Max's head. Then take the pistol from the inventory box and then shoot the "One-Way Sign" with the pistol and.........

Take Max's head from the inventory box and then place it on Max's body, which now has Brady's head on it.

The light switch for the ceiling lamp is located to the right of the Office door.

On top of the TV there is a Coat Hanger that serves as the TV antenna. Click on that Coat Hanger and the Brady 3 in the TV also disappears.

Walk to the right. You see that the Rat is attached to a bicycle pump. Open the cupboard door. In the cupboard there is a life-size Cheese Brady....... the Rat runs towards it because the rat is hungry for such a large tasty Cheese Brady. Unfortunately, Rat is too small. The cupboard door now opens and closes automatically. When the cupboard door is closed again, the Rat goes back to the bicycle pump... Quickly... as soon as the cupboard door opens again, click on the bicycle pump

........the huge rat eats the cheese Brady and Brady 4 has disappeared and Sam comes to his senses in Bosco's store. Sam is himself again, but Max is still Brady's prisoner. Ask Bosco "Can you help me out?". Bosco has thought about making a Hypnosis blocker but he never got around to it. Say goodbye to Bosco, leave the store and go back to Sybil:

Sybil then gives Sam a blueprint for making an Anti-Hypnosis Helmet (Helmet Diagram).

Go back to Bosco. Give the Helmet Diagram to Bosco. Bosco can make the Anti-Hypnosis Helmet, but he still needs an antenna.

Back to Bosco. Give Bosco the Coat Hanger and Bosco will give you the Anti-Hypnosis Helmet. Go to the police car, click on it and Sam will drive back to:

Click on the right door again to enter. Sam automatically puts the Helmet on his head and goes inside.

Then the 3 Soda Poppers, Specs, Peepers and Whizzer, enter and are hypnotized by Brady.

Brady orders the Soda Poppers to attack Sam. Click on the fighting Soda Poppers. You will then be given command options in the dialogue screen such as "Attack", "Become" and "never Mind". You now need to click on the appropriate options. Click on: “Become” and then on “Become Brady Culture”. Unfortunately, Brady keeps control of the Soda Poppers. Click on the Soda Poppers again and then click on: "Worship" and then on "Worship me". The Soda Poppers go to bow to Sam, but unfortunately...Brady intervenes and then the Soda Poppers bow to Brady. Click on the Soda Poppers for the 3rd time and then click on "Attack" and then on "Attack Me" and......

..... .well...that's what the Poppers do.....the Soda Poppers knock Brady unconscious.

Sam frees Max and Max ensures in his own way that the 3 Soda Poppers get out of hypnosis.
