Sam & Max is an episodic series of adventure games by Telltale Games based around the characters of the Sam & Max comic series created by Steve Purcell. The first of the six-episode series—referred to collectively as Season One—was released on October 17, 2006, with the second to follow in January 2007, and each subsequent episode released one month apart.[1]
As with Telltale's series of games based on the Bone comics, the games are being created with close co-operation of the creator of the characters. Although many Telltale employees previously worked on Sam & Max Freelance Police (the cancelled LucasArts game), this new game is unrelated in its content.
The first season of Sam & Max games was co-financed by the U.S. game distribution company GameTap. Each game will be available via the GameTap service for a 15 day exclusive debut period, followed by a general release directly from Telltale's website, whereafter the game will be available through either outlet.[2] [3] Telltale have also expressed interest in bringing the title to the Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii consoles.[4] [5]

In an interview with CBR News, Steve Purcell has noted that the stories "will each be self-contained, but with a continuing thread that links them throughout the season."[6]
