I'm not actually that bothered whether this game ever gets finished, more curious especially since alot of the season 1 and 2 staff worked on it.

Since lucasarts and telltale are now offically collabrating together i kind of feel like of doors have been open and new possibilities have come to mind.

Maybe the cancelled game maybe finished. Although considering it might have to be updated graphics wise, i doubt it. But it's a possibility.

Would be nice for all the staff who worked on it to see their work get some love.

The big things used in Freelance Police where already used in the series - mass hypnosis through a marketable product of some sort I think, very much like season 1.

But Plunge through Space has still been left unfinished and un-re-created-in-another-Telltale-game!

Good idea. Let's ask Telltale to work on that game along with FP!

Sorry for the necro bump, but I was checking out some of the information for this game on wikipedia.

Here's a quote straight off there; "a variety of environments, including a space station and a neopagan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neopaganism) bacchanal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacchanal)" (2 very differant links, for anybody who hasn't noticed, there). Not only did the first season include a spiritual enlightenment center on the moon (complete with gift shop) but season 2 had a space ship.

And I think it's fairly safe to assume that the "Neopagan Bacchanal" refers to the events of Icestation Santa.

However I would like to know if anything from "Freelance Police" has yet to be included in anything from the TellTale series.

According to IGN LuscArts refused to sell the rights to the unfinished game to TTG. As we all know, the liscence to make Same & Max games ended in 2005, but I can't find anything to say whether or not Lucas lost the right to publish the game when they lost that licence. (I suppose it's possible they could change the name, the characters and some of the dialogue and publish it under their own licence, but this would be extremely petty).

I'm surprised no one suggested doing something like this yet:

You thinking TellTale should sue LucasArts?

This might not go down well, if we're hoping for future collaborations for more MI remakes...

I'd love to see this as downloadable content on Steam.

From what I've heard, there's a lot of great stuff in Freelance Police that will, unfortunately, probably never easily see the light of day. That said, from what I've heard, the game definitely looks and feels like it was started in 2002-2003, which was a while ago now!

Huh. Yeah it'd probably be pretty dated. Well maybe with the new cool president of LEC you can license out Freelance Police and turn the good stuff in it to Sam and Max Season 3. A special edition for a game never released.

Probably a pipe dream but after seeing Sam and Max return, Tales of Monkey Island and a Special Edition remake actually made by LucasArts anything seems possible for the adventure game genre again.

Why it's information stolen from the government.

...or his co-workers made the game.
