Sam & Max: Season 1 Hints

How do I get the coin in Jimmy's hole?

  • 1 of 11: Jimmy's rathole is tiny, and he's not coming out, so you'll have to go in and get the coin yourself --
  • 2 of 11: -- which would be a cinch if you were three inches tall, like he is.
  • 3 of 11: Which isn't as farfetched as it sounds. This is just a computer game, after all. What you need are some good cheat codes.
  • 4 of 11: Barring that, maybe you could hack into the game and tweak the programming a little.
  • 5 of 11: Go to the place where the C.O.P.S. were in the real world and see what you see.
  • 6 of 11: Talk to the four computers to find that one of them, the telephone-type computer that was wearing a "Bob" nametag in the real world, is in charge of height. Now how to mess with his programming? Check your inventory.
  • 7 of 11: Your listening bug is now a computer bug, aha!
  • 8 of 11: Use the bug on the computer to go tiny. You can now go over to your office and --
  • 9 of 11: -- stand helplessly staring up at the doorstep, which is taller than you are. How to get up to your office?
  • 10 of 11: Remember, where you are when you put on the goggles is where you are in the game.
  • 11 of 11: So take off the goggles to return to the real world, go up the stairs, and put the goggles back on to return to the game, tiny and in your office. To return to full size after you have Jimmy's coin, go back to the Control Room and take back your bug.
