Before Sam & Max Season One launched, fans were anxious about buying it. Downloadable games were uncommon and people worried about losing access. We needed to convince them we wouldn’t take their money and run.

An early but critical part of Sam & Max Season One’s early development was voice casting. With E3 swiftly approaching, we did a casting call for the trailer and decided to use David Nowlin for both Sam and Max.

Our group of friends is currently making our way through the TV adaptation of Sam & Max and it's just as chaotic as we were told. Funnily enough, it lined up with the #samandmax20th anniversary of the first TellTale game! Talk about weird timing!
You crack me up, Doodlers!

Sam & Max was Telltale’s first “season” of games, with monthly release dates announced up front.
This was a departure from how other episodic games like Half-Life, SiN, and even Telltale’s own Bone series were being marketed.
