Sam & Max Sequel Canceled

Pluvius writes "A terse press release from LucasArts, the creator of classic adventure games such as Grim Fandango and the Monkey Island series, reveals that development on Sam & Max: Freelance Police, the planned sequel to Sam & Max Hit the Road, has stopped. Says LucasArts exec Mike Nelson, 'After careful evaluation of current market place realities and underlying economic considerations, we've decided that this was not the appropriate time to launch a graphic adventure on the PC.'" The International House Of Mojo fansite has some editorial comments [original URL] on this move, the second Sam & Max game cancellation in recent years, lamenting: "LucasArts has made a gigantic mistake."

Reminds me of Transmetropolitan...

...Spider Jerusalem was asked to write an 8000 word essay on "The Beast" becoming president. Jerusalem wrote the word "FUCK" 8000 times. In this moment when Sam and Max has been cancelled, this seems more than appropriate. So, in order to get around the lameness filter, and in memory of a popular programming language that was in use during the era of the first S&M:

LET I=1

:START
IF I=8000 GOTO DONE
PRINT "FUCK"
LET I=I+1
GOTO START

:DONE
END
