Think I remember playing a sample of one of the Sam & Max games (they were on a CD which came with an issue of a computer and video games magazine). Was one of them called Sam & Max Hit the Road?

I don't recall if I completed the game, but it was entertaining (and educational). Don't know if this was the general packaging, but when I purchased it, it came in a large Toblerone-style box (with a green and purple colour scheme on the outside).

Does anyone remember the Leisure Suit Larry and Broken Sword series? I didn't play any of the former, but I did get the director's cut of the first Broken Sword game on the Nintendo DS (loved it, and wished they had done a director's cut of the second Broken Sword game).

Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don't Dry was released sometime last year. It's a series that has had intermittent installments since its inception (of mixed quality), so it never really went away.

Haven't been following the computer and video games releases a lot during the last few years, hence why I asked if anyone remembered the Leisure Suit Larry games. I didn't know there had been some new installments since I last heard of any new installments.

The first Sam and Max is called "Sam and Max: Hit the Road". That's the only one Lucas Arts ever made. People loved the characters, but a 2nd game was stuck in production hell for years. Telltale eventually revived the series with: Sam and Max Season 1, Beyond Time and Space and The Devil's Playhouse. They're all pretty great games.

The Monkey Island games were probably the high point of the LucasFilm adventure games. I also enjoyed the Indiana Jones adventures too.
