Toronto, Canada (March 15, 2007) - The Adventure Company today
announced plans to bring Sam & Max: Season 1 to retail stores in August 2007.
From The Adventure Company:
Sam & Max aren't your average crime-fighting duo. Sam is a six-foot tall
canine shamus with a love of justice. Max is hyperkinetic rabbity-thing with a
taste for violence. Together, Sam & Max are the Freelance Police, ridding the
streets of bottom-feeding sludge one dastardly miscreant at a time.
Over the last two decades, Sam & Max have appeared in a number of formats,
including independent comics created by Steve Purcell, an interactive PC
adventure game, a Saturday morning cartoon, a webcomic strip, and now innovative
episodic games developed by Telltale. The Adventure Company's Sam & Max: Season
1 release marks this series' first foray into retail stores, giving customers
worldwide an opportunity to see why the game's bizarre humor, crazy characters,
vivid 3D graphics, and good, old-fashioned point & click gameplay make Sam &
Max: Season 1 the funniest PC game in years.
“We are absolutely thrilled to be working with Telltale and the Sam & Max
franchise,” said Richard Wah Kan, President and CEO of The Adventure Company.
“With such a rich history behind the Sam & Max name and the tremendous following
of ardent Sam & Max fans, we’re proud to play a part in the rebirth of such a
legendary franchise.”
“The Adventure Company will be an excellent partner for Sam & Max’s path to
retail,” said Telltale CEO Dan Connors. “Our internal development studio’s been
having a fun time working with Steve’s characters and we’re looking forward to
getting the games out to new audiences in the Fall.”
Sam & Max: Season 1 will be released for Windows on CD-ROM with a targeted
release date of August 2007.
