Give us your opinion, we'll give you Telltale Texas Hold'em
Posted by Emily May 15, 2009


Hey, you! With the face! We're looking for some opinions from our fans, in the form of this survey. Answer the questions within, and we'll give you a free copy of Telltale Texas Hold'em, Telltale's first game (and still the funniest poker game around). The survey is now over. Thanks to those who participated!

For those unfamiliar with the history, Telltale Texas Hold'em was originally intended as a sort of litmus test for Telltale's engine. It turned out to be a fun game, so we decided to release it! A couple of the characters are voiced by Telltale employees (Dudebrough is played by designer Brendan Q. Ferguson, who also appeared as the bug in Sam & Max, and the announcer is Greg Land, who was a designer on Telltale's CSI games), and music was provided by Jerry Logas, father of Heather Logas, another of our former designers. You may also recognize that guy in the black shirt from Sam & Max...

And since we're celebrating our fifth anniversary with a look back at Telltale's past, here are a few Telltale Texas Hold'em related links for you...

Telltale Texas Hold'em -- a game you should play (Here's why!)
Posted by emily April 17, 2008
The year was 2005. Telltale was a young company staffed by a handful of eager designers and programmers who were just setting out to revolutionize the gaming world. The first step toward world domination: Create a casual game with engaging characters to showcase just what Telltale could do, and learn something about making funny games in the process. Telltale Texas Hold'em was that game.



I'm embarrassed to admit that I didn't play Hold'em until a few months ago when I was asked to write copy for a casual game portal that would be adding it to their line-up. I dutifully loaded up the game during my lunch break, thinking I could breeze through before everyone staggered back in from their hamburger and Starbucks runs and noticed what I was doing. Three hours later, I was still at it. And yeah, everyone noticed, but I didn't care. This game is addictive. And wicked funny.
