Sam & Max: Season 1 Hints
What should I be doing with the C.O.P.S. computers?
1 of 7: Talk to them. (Don't worry, they won't sing their song again.)
2 of 7: They say they're using a talisman to look inside themselves and create the best computer game EVER.
3 of 7: Which would be fine, except (a) we want that talisman, and (b) the game in question is Tic Tac Doom, which is actually incredibly lame.
4 of 7: In fact, it's extremely easy to win and almost impossible to lose. And every time you win, they go back to work on the game, for which they need the talisman.
5 of 7: So what would happen if you lost a game on purpose?
6 of 7: As you'll discover, it's harder to lose tic tac toe than to win it, if you're playing against someone who's determined to lose. I can't give you exact moves, because the C.O.P.S. don't play the same way every time. One tactic is to move so as to force the computer into the winning spaces -- only take spaces that the machine doesn't need, and so on.
