As far as i know
you can play sam and max on www.scummvm.org/
Download it and play it, install sam and max in a handy folder then just run it through that.

Works for most SCUMM type games (Monkey island tyoe games)

YAY my first helpful thread

Arse fez!
It says it can't find any game data in the D drive (my DVD-Rom drive). Checking the site's FAQ, it says that it only works with the original CDs/floppies. The one I have is a re-release with 2 games on the same disc. Grrrrrage.

S'ok, got it to work!
You have to put the game files in the root C drive and not in the conveniently-named folder of your choice, though, which is rather asshat.
