                Sam and Max Hit the Road   -   Solution



There are many possible actions in this game, which are not needed to
solve the game, you'll find nothing about them in this solve, check'em out
by yourself, you cannot die !

Here a list of possible mouse-cursor-functions
I'll try to use only this expressions in the whole solve :

Go To   : Hand with two fingers down 

Look    : An Eye
          If the eye is open, you can get information about the object

Pick Up : A Shake-Hand/Fist
          The Hand changes into a fist, if you move the Cursor over an
          item which possibly can be picked up

Talk    : A mouth
          If it is open, you can try to talk
          If a talk is available, you have 4 basic choices :
          1st Icon = ?    :  Starts any conversation 
          2nd Icon = !    :  Useless
          3rd Icon = Duck :  Useless
          4th Icon = Hand :  Ends conversation 
          (If no other options except the 1st 4 icons are available, you
           have to click at the ? to get further choices BY YOURSELF, 
           I DO NOT EXPLAIN THIS IN THE SOLVE AGAIN !)

Use     : A Hand with a green living "thing" in it
          If the "thing" is pressed, you can possibly use whatever is
          under the Cursor
