Sam & Max: Season 1 Hints

Which of Hugh's magic tricks do I want?

  • 1 of 7: He only has one: he can make himself change colors. Too weird. He'll never replace David Copperfield, that's for sure.
  • 2 of 7: Do you care what color he is? Well, yes. He's the only character in the game with a camera. Why is that significant?
  • 3 of 7: Have you talked to Sybil in The Neighborhood yet?
  • 4 of 7: She's looking for a photograph for the front page of her tabloid, the "Alien Love Triangle Times."
  • 5 of 7: What's an alien, after all, but a little green man?
  • 6 of 7: Hugh isn't that little, but he's the most alien creature I've seen in a long time. Particularly when he's green.
  • 7 of 7: Ask him to do his magic trick and tell him to be green, then ask him for a photograph. You now have the ideal alien love triangle picture for Sybil's paper.
