Sam & Max: Season 2 Hints

How do I stop the Maimtron 9000?

  • 1 of 7: Go down to the street and talk to him. Maybe he'll listen to reason.
  • 2 of 7: Well, no, but he does have a few vulnerabilities. For one thing, though he has a very sophisticated AI, he's decidedly low-tech -- check out the wind-up key in his back.
  • 3 of 7: You can't reach the key from the street, but maybe if you leaned out of your office window --
  • 4 of 7: -- but of course, most of the time he's facing the window. You need to get him to stop rampaging and turn around so his back is to the window.
  • 5 of 7: Have you tried asking him a deep philosophical question?
  • 6 of 7: You have three options for questions; one of them is a lyric from an old song. Since he seems to have a thing for seventies pop songs, try that one. The first one is "Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near?" They change after that, but the one you want is always the third question.
  • 7 of 7: When he turns around to think, run up to your office, then reach through the window and grab his wind-up key. Ta-dah!
