Sam and Max return to retail

FINALLY! I downloaded the demo which took 3 hours, played it which took 10 mins, but it was funny as hell. Finally this game is coming to disc.

Oh god yes. I have been waiting for this to be released onto a disc. Dial up absolutely sucks, and I am so glad that they are still making games on a disc rather than converting everything to download. I have wanted to play this since the first issue. Yay!

Too bad the release is only for the pc. I wanted to play this on my wii.

Please, release! So my heart may be at peace... So many people to appease, a clientele to increase!! ...better cut this cheese...

I am so happy I could cry!

good news for people without access to downloadable content im one of them. also i hope there is some bonus content like "making of" and interviews with the voice actors and stuff.

.... AUGUST?! ARRGH!

The only thing that could make this retail release any better is to include the original Sam & Max (talkie) in with the first 6 episodes. At no more than 100MB per episode, a standard DVD-9 disc will feel like Blu-Ray with all the room they'll have left for potential extras. I just hope they re-render the textures at twice the resolution since there'll be plenty of space.

Great, I've heard amazing things about Sam & Max, but I've never gotten to play. Now I can.

Thats great news. 35 bucks is indeed a great deal for all six episodes.

WOO!! MY DREAM COME TRUE!!

Awesome!

$34.95 is a pretty good deal for all six episodes.

Finally~~~ I couldn't get it online from where I am... So this is great news for me...

Yay, I've been waiting for this.

YEESSSSS!!!! THANK YOU LORD!!!!!!!!

This news makes me a very happy Daemon indeed.

I'm really glad to see that somebody has resurrected the Sam and Max franchise. Now if we could get some more cartoons on TV, I'd be good.

NEVER DIS SAM AND MAX... or max will eat you..... now they need a new day of the tentacle and full throttle

If you buy the whole season (6 episodes) in one go, you get them for 35 bucks, which is about 10 bucks cheaper than when you buy episodes individually. You also get the option to get the games on disk at the end of the season for free (you'll have to pay for shippingcosts). Don't know if this'll be the same as the boxed version, though.

i might pick this up

I remember going to the store and buying the first one back in the day for my PC. I've enjoyed these games also, but it doesn't quite have the same 'magical' feel of the first one. Perhaps as I play more of the episodes it will get more interesting.

This is great news, because I don't like to buy a game online, I want a box to have in the book-shelf.

Cool, I can't wait, now I don't have to buy it online.

It is me or does anybody find this or other similar article relating to Sam & Max come up every few month?

Finally I can get all the games at once, I have the first two episodes and they're wicked nice.

what comthitnuong said

Damn. That's pretty cool. And I like how it's hinted that there will be more than one "season" of these Sam and Max games, too;).

Cool it is good to see an episodic game prevail for once :)

I knew this would happen! Now it will be available to a wider audience! :D

Yeah... point-and-click returns to retail!

I was waiting for them to announce something like this, it was only a matter of time. I'll definitely pick it up now. At least then I won't have to wait for the next episode to come out after I've finished one.

Also, if they bundled in the original sam and max game, i'd pay like $60 for it

A boxed collection sounds good. I can probably get it on EBay for under $30 once it's released. I've wanted to play these games, but was not going to pay $9.00 a episode jus to download them.

Whoop! We're probably going to hear about whether or not they'll show up on Live pretty soon...

Ill just continue buying the episodes.

Sold. And throw in one of them secret purple paper decoder key copy protection sheets. Y'know, just for the nostalgia kick.

Yes, excellent news! I hope they do console versions as well in case my PC isn't up to spec....:(

A boxed collection? I might get them now. I have wanted to play them but never got to it. A boxed collection would make it much easier :D.

I just found out about these games and I played the demo and was dying to get them. I may just hold off now so that I can purchase a box atleast for my collection. I kinda of dislike virtual games.

well, the games are funny and all, but because of their episodic nature, the stories are stand alone. so 6 stories of 2-3 hours of gameplay each, isnt the best deal we can get.

Well, good for those of us who are skeptical with making online purchases. Here's hoping there's no StarForce though. ;)

Finally it's been so long, I grew up playing these classic adventure games like Sam and Max, Monkey Island, Loom, Kings Quest etc.

I don't really like this game's episodic format. I'd rather have it all as one game.

As long as the price is reasonable, I will get it.

Sam & Max return, it;s been too long, and I don;t buy into this episodic gumpf.

I've never liked point and click adventure games but I will definently pick this one up heck it's already a classic lol.
