Episode 4: Made it all worthwhile!
 

TellTale, thanks so much for Episode 4 of Sam & Max! Quite frankly, it made the entire season worthwhile. If we'd never got to play Episode 4, I think we all would have missed out on something incredibly special and important in the Sam & Max canon.

It scares me to think that if LucasArts had got their evil way, we would never have seen ANY sequel to Sam & Max whatsoever. To think we would have lost out on anything close to the quality of "Abe Lincoln Must Die!" makes me feel that it wasn't just Sam & Max fans that were robbed on that fateful day, but the entire medium of gaming as a whole.

Thanks for re-setting that balance and giving the gaming world what it sorely needed: High quality, intelligent, inspired, imaginative gaming.

Thanks for reminding me exactly why Sam & Max rocked so much in the first place.

TellTale, I love you!

You said it Johnny.

Thank you Telltalegames!

Sam And Max is SO America!

//Love from Sweden. :D :D :D :D

Silence! I Concur.

Can't do anything more than fully agree:D

Me too. It was the best game I have played since Grim Fandango. Excellent Job!

Thanks! That means we can take your money and run now, right?

Wait, no? Bah. *goes back to work*

:rolleyes:

If you hand me out the TellTaleTool and the Sourcecode... Yes :D

I wanna add my voice to this - I loved Episodes 1-3, but Abe Lincoln Must Die! blew them right out of the park. Max's "adorable" face, discussing the feeling "that someone was watching their every move", the way Max walks into the War Room (hell, Max in general this episode), and of course...

... opening the War Room. Whoever thought of that deserves a medal. Not just my favourite moment in the Season so far, but already one of my all time great Gaming Memories. Wonderful in every way!

Agreed with the above. Previous episodes were fun (well, 3 was way too short and 1 was too tame) -- 4 is just great. I really can't use many more words than this. Great, great, great, leaving me wanting for more.
Did I mention it was a great episode?

Oh, on a sidenote: Lucasarts is rereleasing S&M:HTR finally :)
At least, so sayeth the Amazon…

Yep, it's those little things that make a good game great. Telltale really made the most of this episode!

It's been out (along with The Dig, Full Throttle and Grim Fandango + a couple of older Star Wars titles) in the UK since December last year. A few weeks back the re-releases also came out in Australia and New Zealand. It seems to be the territories where Activision is the LucasArts distribution partner (ie. not North America).

There's a thread about it here.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Activision Nordic(PanVision) is going to release it... at least I can't find it on their webpage yet.

Can you find it on Activision Australia or UK though? I don't think they bother too much with budget rereleases on their websites.

Pfff! LucasArts sees how well Telltale is doing and now they're all for rereleasing the original game. Bet they feel even stupider for canceling the sequel now that Season 1 is doing so great.

Would you need to? Most JB Hi-Fis and non-EB shops stock the Lucasarts classics range.

Back on topic, Episode 4 was definitely the funniest game I've played in many years (and I've played a hell of a lot of games). Keep up the amazing work TTG!

Glad to hear I wasn't the only one who felt the same!

Thanks again, TellTale!

Never trust Amazon, I've seen at least 20 items for sale there that were cancelled before they were even made... (Neverhood 2000, for instance... they still have that for sale, and it doesn't even exist!)

On-topic: Ep. 4 is pure joy! The choir music as Whizzer gets back on the soda habit, the much-touted War Song, Bosco's Tommy Tutone reference... pure gold.

Pre-order NOW!

EDIT: Yes, but when this game is released, I think we will be using a far more advanced communication technology than simple email...

Hell, by the time DNF is available, Amazon will have switched to the then-common telepathy mail...

Do they have quantum PCs listed yet? Perhaps a shiny new Playstation 7, or the Xbox 1080?
