Title: Telltale's Strongbad game
Post by: OneDollar on Thu 10/04/2008 21:07:52
Anyone else come across this?

It seems Telltale Games (of the new Sam and Max series fame) have teamed up with internet flash animation giants www.homestarrunner.com (http://www.homestarrunner.com) and Videlectrix (the guys who've made a load of the homestar runner games, including a couple of text adventure games) to make an episodic series of point-n-click adventures starring Strong Bad. Available for the Wii and PC.

I'm excited ;D

That's really cool.. I love Strong Bad.
Actually that reminds me, I never did get round to playing those Sam and Max games... hopefully they are available as one big download at a cheaper price...

Ya.

The game's actual page is http://telltalegames.com/strongbad (http://telltalegames.com/strongbad), and apparently the first ep is set for release in June.

Should be awesome. :D

My God, that's awesome.
It makes getting a Wii worth it.
Maybe this summer...

Isn't Videlectrix just the Homestar guys with fake mustaches on? :)

I think that's what they use as a joke, but I think a mate of theirs actually makes the games. It's still not really a company, but not the normal two brothers.

WARNING: The above text may be innaccurate. I am not sure.

Yeh I don't think they actually established Videlectrix as a real company.  It's just a made up brand and an homage to the golden age of Atari gaming.
