Telltale Games

From Sam & Max Wiki

Telltale Games is the episodic point and click adventure game developer that created the latest series of Sam & Max games. Aside from Sam & Max, recent projects also include Tales of Monkey Island and CSI: Deadly Intent.

[edit] History

After LucasArts canceled the ill-fated Sam & Max: Freelance Police, some of the staff who worked on this game, and other LucasArts games, broke off from LucasArts to start a new company. Telltale Games was founded by Dan Connors and Kevin Bruner to make adventure games, which are no longer considered viable by LucasArts. They have continued to attract a number of former LucasArts employees, some of which are well known for their involvement in Sam & Max games and other golden-era adventure games at LucasArts.

It currently has a staff of more than 70.

[edit] Other activities

In addition to the games, Telltale's online store sells a variety of Sam & Max merchandise, some of which they themselves produce. Most notably, Telltale arranged for and acted as the publisher of the 20th anniversary edition of Surfin' the Highway.

Telltale also hosts a Sam & Max series discussion forum. While mostly for discussion of their games, this is probably the largest concentration of Sam & Max fans on the Internet.
