Sam & Max: Season 1 Hints
How do I get the jack-in-the-box?
1 of 6: How do you turn off pop-up ads on your real computer?
2 of 6: You can click on them, but they always come back. If you want to stop them completely, you need to tell your browser to shut off pop-ups.
3 of 6: Have you been in the plug-shaped "Control Room" yet?
4 of 6: Click on each computer to discover that each one controls something different.
5 of 6: The one on the far right, the "Ping" computer that doesn't talk, controls pop-ups. Click on it once to turn them off and again to turn them back on again.
6 of 6: Once pop-ups are off, you can go back out to the street (**** streeth? ****) and pick up the jack-in-the-box unhindered.
