4. Walkthroughs Guide - Demo Version
After watching the completely unrelated introduction and the equally pointless credit sequence, you'll find yourself in the office of Sam and Max. I would call them America's furriest crime-fighting duo, but I'm sure there are some cops out there with back hair that could house a family of rodents.

In the office, head to the right. There's a sandwich lying on the floor, but if you try to pick it up, Max will dash forward and feed it to the termites. It serves no true purpose aside from this, so go ahead and do it if you want to. Beyond the termite cage is a closet with Max's poster collection. Steal the
Blacklight Bulb and go back to the other side of the office. Jam your hand into the mousehole in the baseboard to get some easy Cash, then leave the office and head downstairs. For a good time, poke the guy dangling from the railing.

Outside, talk to the choking cat to learn that he's the bonded city courier the commisioner spoke of. Unfortunately, he swallowed your Orders, so you'll have to extract them somehow. Max might have some ideas. Try using him on the cat. When you've gotten your Orders, head out for the Carnival and the Demo ends here.

NOTE: The CD-ROM Demo Version of Sam & Max Hit the Road is the same as the Floppy Disk Version but with Voice Acting.

5-1. Walkthrough Guides - Work In Progress Demo: Snuckey's
Pick up the Cup lying on the floor and go in. On one of the shelves, there should be a box of Pecan Candy. Take it. You can take whatever fun toy is on the rack below the picture of Sam and Max, too. When you're done shopping, walk around the store until Max starts complaining about having to go to the bathroom. Talk to the Snuckey employee to purchase your items, then click on the toilet to get the keys. Max will wander off to the bathrooms. Wait for him outside, and when he comes back, speak to him before he goes back in to get the Rasp. The other two Snuckey's have more games for you to buy, so do that if you have a tendency to get bored, then head for the carnival.

*The Minigames found in Snuckey's (They need to be purchased):
CarBomb
Coloring Book
Dress Up (This part is Copy Protection)
Flip Book (Not Shown)
Video Game (Not Shown)

*NOTE: You'll be able to purchase these Minigames when you buy the game.
5-2. Walkthrough Guides - Work in Progress Demo: Carnival
Once Conroy Bumpus and his bodyguard are gone, walk to the right. Flambe the fire-breather won't let you through, since the carnival is closed. Give him your orders and he'll let you into the tent, where you'll be greeted by the Kushman brothers. After the cutscene, pick up the Sasquatch Fur on the ground and the hand-in-a-jar near the entrance. When you're done, leave the tent
through the back.

Step up to the Wak-A-Rat machine but you can't play it until the game is finished since this is a WIP Demo.

Talk to the carnival worker and ask about the cone to get on. When the ride is over, open up your inventory to find... Nothing. Talk to the ride operator to get a claim ticket for the Lost & Found. Walk back to the previous screen and go straight back to find the Lost & Found tent. Go in and chat with the guy inside to get back your belongings, then examine the fish magnet to unlock the World of Fish location.

And that's all you can do in the Work in Progress Sam & Max Hit the Road Demo for the time being.
