Title: Sam and Max episode 4 free to download
Post by: Arboris on Sun 11/11/2007 20:21:29
I don't know if this was already being brought to anyones attention (couldn't find it with the search function) but the 4th episode of sam and max is free and up for grabs.

It was quite short, but fun.

Nope, it's clean. :)

You can get it direct from TellTale...

Just click on the big button with the cart icon, not the "free demo" button.

Hooray! \o/

No Pablo, that's completely legal. Telltale is using this free download to promote season 2.

EDIT:  hehe, too late :)

Oh but this is just ridiculous. Why episode 4 exactly? o_o It would seem much more sensible to give episode 1 for free and charge for the rest of them. Silly Telltale guys.

Episode 4 seems to be considered the best thing about Season One. It certainly got better reviews than the first episode.

What better way to promote the series than with its best episode? :)

It made me wonder aswell why they would put episode 4 up for free instead of 1. Never read any reviews of the games, but that would be logical.

I think putting up Episode 4 is a deviously good idea. Not only does it showcase the series but it leaves the player thinking "hmm I wonder what happens befor this chapter?" and before you know it the kids stolen his mum's credit card and bought the whole season. See it all makes sense. Except for vegetarians they don't make any sense.

I think Obi's right. I'm really enjoying the game but I'm also aware that I'm missing out on running gags which makes me want to play the rest of the series. I am a vegetarian though, so my opinion might not be valid.

I preferred Reality 2.0, personally.  The rest of them were rather blah.
