A magazine in Australia called “Hyper” has a preview of Sam & Max 2 this month, and in that preview are some new screenshots. Yeah, actual in-game screenshots! The screenshots show Sam and Max hanging around in their office (with a sneak peak at what looks like an in-progress point and click interface), visiting a graffiti’d wall, and talking to some sort of suspicious character.

Want to see the screenshots? Thanks to Lukas Forester from the Adventure Gamers forums, we’ve got a pretty nice scan of the whole article. Hopefully in the next few days I can get ahold ofdigital originals of those screenshots from LucasArts. Time will tell!

The backgrounds appear to be pre-rendered, while Sam & Max (and their car) look drawn in realtime. That’s not quite what I expected given remarks by Mike Stemmle in a couple places (I thought the game was realtime 3D all around, and maybe it still is and I’m just missing something), but it looks good. It’s nice to see Max running around playing with things in the background, if only in very still, grainy form.
