Wikipedia is not a strategy guide or instruction manual. Wikipedia articles should focus on the games themselves, not on how to play them; they should not contain tips, tricks, or cheat codes. That information is available elsewhere, in printed guides and online, and does not belong in an encyclopedia entry. Please do not add your own hints or opinions of the game. Verifiable content about the history, design, and overall description of the game is welcome. If you have questions about whether specific information should be added, ask here first.

[edit] 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)

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)
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)

[edit] Sam in a Condom

Is it possible to play Sam wearing only a condom?

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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:

[edit] 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)

[edit] Episodic games

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

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

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)

[edit] Windows version

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

  • 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)
