LucasArts announces Sam & Max sequel

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the what-about-the-cartoon dept.

Altima(BoB) writes "LucasArts announced today a sequel to their 1993 cult classic adventure game Sam & Max Hit the Road. This follows a recent announcement of Full Throttle II. The press release explains: It's due first quarter 2004 for Windows PCs, no other operating systems or platforms mentioned, but it looks promising. Personally, I think that LucasArts' adventure games have been long overdue a comeback, anyone who's played them can attest to their top-notch writing and humor."

    Well, I didn't know about Full Throttle 2, so reading that post made me slip into what I like to call "A massive coronary".

    Full throttle was the best damn Lucararts game ever made, bar none. Maybe even the best adventure game period, and that's if I include Grim Fandago.

    That better not be a polecat on the wall.

    Finally, math books without any of that base 6 crap in them.

    Sam and Max still has my vote for the best game of that genre ever... Any game where the solution to one of the "problems" is to pick up your partner, dunk him in water and use him to short out an electrical panel works for me. It took me an hour to get through trying all the little gadgets in the inventory before coming up with that one.

    Can't wait for the sequel.

    I remember telling my aunt about "Day of the Tentacle". (get yer finger off the 'off-topic' button, it's a LucasArts adventure game like Sam & Max and Monkey Island.) Unfortunately, I mispronounced 'tentacle' and caused everybody at the dinner table to pause their meal and stare at me with buldging eyes.

    I really wish my family'd loosen up and watch FOX more often. I really shouldn't be that shocking to anybody.

    Is it just me or do talking rabbits creep anybody else out after seeing Donnie Darko?

    I can only hope I still feel the same way Harvey and Bugs!

    thanks slashdot, I've been trying to get the original on ebay for the last couple months now. This asures me of not finding a copy for under the original face value for a few more months to come now!

    It's due first quarter 2004

    This is the Video Game Industry's way of saying, "We haven't actually started yet."
