Sam & Max game from Telltale this time

Sam, a trench-coated hound dog, and Max, his psychopathically violent rabbit partner, are comic book characters created by Steve Purcell. In 1993 they starred in a hilarious adventure game from Lucas Arts called Sam & Max Hit the Road. Fans of the original were thrilled a decade later when Lucas Arts announced a sequel, and shocked when the game was canceled near completion simply because Lucas Arts had lost faith in the adventure game genre.

This upset a number of longtime Lucas Arts employees, who flew the coop to form Telltale Games. Telltale’s attempts to buy the unfinished Sam & Max game from Lucas Arts fell through, but they did manage to buy the rights from Purcell to make a new game. The end product, Sam & Max Episode 1: Culture Shock, fulfills the previously dashed hopes of Sam & Max fans.
