Sam and Max Hits the Road

[diddlysquat]

Remember this old LucasArts computer game? When my son was little we played it together enjoying the puzzles and the comedy of a dog and a rabbit solving a mystery. Then I heard they were making a sequel and then Lucasarts cancelled it last year. But then some break off company (Telltale games?) might have picked it up. Anyone know anything about this?

1. Here's what Gamespot has to say:

Sam & Max team forms new studio

Enthusiasts of the point-and-click adventure game, take heart: There's a new development studio pledging to resurrect the dying genre. Industry veterans Dan Connors, Kevin Bruner, and Troy Molander, along with other key members of the team that was developing Sam & Max: Freelance Police for LucasArts, have formed a new studio called Telltale Games. The San Rafael, California-based developer will concentrate on "reenergizing" the adventure game market.

...

But what about the question on everyone's mind--is a new Sam & Max title coming? Although Telltale Games hasn't specifically said anything, the upcoming first press release from the company does mention the game three times, then ends by saying that Telltale is currently "in the design phase on a well-loved license." Could it be? We'll just have to wait and see what Telltale Games has up its sleeves.

2. hunt down the monkey island games

thier just as good as the sam n max ones, i know the first two were put on one cd and sold in a lucas arts 6-pack, the cd is called monkey island madness (has it)

4. Did the rest of the 6 pack have Sam n Max? I need this game again!

I understand there is a conversion utility that allows it to be played in Windows.

3. I loved most of those Lucas Arts games

Full Throttle, Sam & Max, then they did that 'space' adventure which turned out to be more pretense than game. Oh well.
