Bright Side of the Moon is the sixth and final episode of Sam & Max season one, an episodic series of adventure games based on comic-book characters Sam (a dog) and Max (officially known as a "hyperkinetic rabbity thing"). The team has gotten into some interesting trouble along the way, and this sixth and final episode wraps things up nicely. If you've been playing along over the past five episodes, you're obviously going to want to know how it ends, and, overall, it ends pretty well.

The episodes leading up to this final encounter have all dealt with different forms of hypnosis. Here, in the finale, you're finally clued in as to who the mastermind behind all these world-enslaving schemes is, and you must travel to the moon (in your Desoto, naturally) to stop him. There are plenty of laughs to be found, plenty of returning characters, and the puzzles in this installment are pretty interesting, making this a fitting end to the season-one story arc. The only real negative about this installment is that it feels shorter than some of the others, and it's awfully straightforward. You know who you need to take on right at the beginning of the episode, you take him on (after making a love connection between the disembodied head of an Abe Lincoln statue and the new queen of Canada), and then it's case closed.
