Videogame/TV/etc references

[ahintoflime]

My favorite bits of the Sam and Max games are the little easter eggs and jokes that play on pop culture-- which is good, because sam and max is FULL of Pop culture references. But I especially love videogame references 'cause I'm a huge geek :D

Anyways, in the lastest episode, I caught the awesome Lost reference (the music was spot on for that :P), the Duke Nukem Reference, and (my favorite) the Metal Gear Solid joke :D

I was just wondering if there is anything big I've missed? Keep on putting videogame easter eggs in TTG, and great job with 202 n__n

I enjoyed the reference to William Randolph Hearst and Marion Davies. Although I'm not sure how that really fits in with popular culture, since these days I associate anything pop culture with VH1. But on that note, I did enjoy the Lost reference as well.

I'd like to see a gag from Portal in 203.

[Murray the Chao]

What SHOULD have happened at the end of 202 was that Sam & Max should have just waited for the DeSoto to come on its own, like at the Ball of Twine.

[Dangerzone]

there is going to be an ongoing gag where it takes them a month to get home between each episode....

[Randulf]

I'm disappointed that Moai Better Blues has no Gradius reference...

[NHJ BV]

202 also has a Blues Brothers reference. When you try to give a drink to Glenn Miller Sam comments that drinks aren't free for the band :)

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the SELF referance yet about how Max pretty much calls them out on the whole Three puzzles to solve before the final one formula that was pretty much the standard format for Season 1.

I noticed that Bosco cites Telltale as one of the forces out to get him in S1E1, right after he mentions hairspray. Max interrupts him before he can finish the word, though.

According to what you read on the internets, all of 202 was an homage to Portal.

Which is pretty darn impressive, since Brendan & the gang had finished designing 202 at least five or six months before Portal even came out.

[wisp]

so portal was in reality a homage to sam&max?:eek:

There are a lot of videogame references in season 1, episode 5. There was a Super mario, Castlevania (the save cube,) and a Final Fantasy/Dragon Quest (the Rpg element was like FF while the enemy is slime, which is in every DQ game) reference

Don't forget the Pac-Man reference of power pellets and ghost eating!

And the Sonic reference when Sam hits Max over the head to make the five coins appear.

[wisp]

the whole episode is one big reference. btw, is the outside area supposed to look tron-like?

[Molokov]

And Reality 1.5 contains many references to the wonderful era of text adventures. Zork, etc...

[Will]

My favorite Zork reference is in 104.

Clearly, you guys are in cahoots.

[tobar]

My favorite Zork reference is in 104.

Which was that? Tell me, tell me!!!!!!

"Here we are in a field to the eest of the White House" is a reference to the opening of Zork, where you start off in a field to the west of the White House.

[ShaggE]

I believe in Zork it was a white house, not THE White House :P

[LuigiHann]

Sam also adds "there is a small mailbox here" which is also a quote from the opening lines of Zork.
