We're closing in on the Season Two launch, and we're so giddy with excitement about it that we've done something a little crazy. Remember Abe Lincoln Must Die, the episode that got some of the best reviews last season? We've decided to slash the price into oblivion. That's right, from now on, Abe Lincoln Must Die is FREE. Yep, as in zero dollars. What's the catch? There is none. Just go download it and stop asking questions already.
The free episode is exclusively available at IGN, GameSpy, and FilePlanet today. Starting tomorrow you'll be able to get it from Telltale's site and probably a bunch of other places, too. Please spread the news to all your cheap frugal friends!
Oh, and we also cut the price of the full Season One bundle today, to $29.95. Life is good.
funny thing is I never really liked that episode. It was my least fav so how it got the best reviews *shrugs* My fave was ted E Bears Mafia Free Casino 8D

It's also been free on Gametap for a while. Dunno why that isn't mentioned here.

(ps. I have bought Season 1, bought the DVD, bought the Case file, and payed top dough for overseas shipping, so there!)
It almost makes me wish I hadn't bought the entire season already.
Okay, not really. I have no regrets!

Now I have sent the link to all my friends (all two of them =P).
The only thing I need now is for Surfing The Highway to be released 'til christmas, so I will have a reason to pick up a three or four copy's.

This... is permanent?
Whoa. I got the impression from what GameTap did that it was gonna be a sortof promo deal, not a full-time conversion-to-freeware.
This... is awesomeness.
Now I just wish I could get back my five dollars back. Oh well.

Tehee, I went the cheap way when the season was done, got 1 month of gametap, and played through all of them. Now I can relive the glory.

Wow! No other game company would even consider giving a game free! Even though I already bought the full season, this is great news for newcomers of Sam N' Max! This really shows how much Telltale cares about the community!
Download away!

Smart move chaps!
Now to install bootcamp and Windows on my Mac to play it... :D
Yay! This is awesome for me because Gametap won't work for me,even though I'm a US Citizen living in Mexico. BOO BORDERS.

Cool, that was the best episode of the first season. It was absolutely brilliant.

To be honest, I do question this decision.
Yes, giving away one of the best episodes of the season makes sense in some marketing bods eyes, but surely giving away Abe Lincoln not only presents a disjointed view of the plot, but blows Telltales load because people know it was one of the best episodes, so there's no need to get any of the earlier episodes because they were weaker.
I personally welcomed the return of S&M and the adventure genre, but the FPS kiddies won't bite unless the violence is graphic and there are tits.

But there are tits! I think.

There are always tits! There should always be tits! All play and no tits make Smollie a very dull boy!
Ahem... Hey look behind you! A Three-headed monkey! (running footsteps receding in the distance)

Argh, if I'd just waited a couple of days I'd have gotten it five bucks cheaper. Well, I hope you use my extra five dollars to make more adventure games and not to bankroll a going out of business party. It looks like you're all I've got till 2015.

Spoken like a true marketer. ;)
Joe, email support with your order number and I'll refund the extra $5.
This would be cool except that FILE PLANET UTTERLY UTTERLY SUCKS.

Fortunately it's also on FileFront, and will probably make its way to Fileshack, etc etc later today. Also we'll be offering a download soon as well.

WOW, finally people in europe or germany can play this game without a credit card.
Thx a lot this is my favourite episode. But I'm still wondering about the weak dollar and the strong euro ;-()
It's also up on Steam now, for those that would prefer to download it that way.

What a great chance! A taste of Sam and Max for free! And a price cut on Season 1. That should really jump up possibilities of getting it around here...

Just a quick thank you for the free release. I liked it so much I've just put an order in for the box set. I look forward to more good work in the future ;-)
Oh, and bring out Brutal Legend for the PC!

I've got old demo of S&M: Episode 104. Were can I get activation code to make it for free?
It's cheaper for me to bye this game for 10 bucks than downloading new demo... :(
Comment by Mazayatz
November 13, 2007, 4:33 am
This was a really clever marketing strategy... hell, it reeled me in. =P
Seriously. I had been staring at Sam and Max for awhile, but decided against getting it until I downloaded the free game. Well... then I had to buy the whole Season 1. Too bad I did it on Steam and probably don't qualify for the bonus disc now :(
Whatever, Season Two has been purchased! Yay!
