it would be nice in one of the future episodes, sam and max took a trip to the moon or somewhere around the space? I think it would be so nice..... what do you think guys?
It was revealed that Justin Chin's company, Infinite Machine, was developing a console-exclusive action/adventure title starring Sam and Max during the middle months of 2001. In September the company confirmed it on their site and tossed up some tasty concept art by Steve Purcell, showing the dynamic duo exploring the far reaches of space. However, that was the last update made on Infinite Machine's official site. The following year we learned that the company had gone bankrupt following poor sales of its first release, New Legends...
In a November 2005 interview with Steve Purcell that was held not long after Telltale Games acquired the Sam & Max rights, Purcell revealed a bit more about this title: It was actually based on a story I had written years before called Sam & Max Plunge Through Space. Sam & Max have to recover the stolen Statue of Liberty which they find parked in another galaxy and being used as a casino called Green Mama's. Then they are pulled into interplanetary intrigue with an evil despot and a mysterious hidden world where everyone resembles Max. We were breaking it down into an action/exploration/adventure game and I was pleased with where it was going.
Purcell has said that he hopes to one day make the unused story into a comic.
Smart aleck remark aside, that sounds like an awesome story! I really need to get to the used comic shop in town to see if they have any Sam&Max comics sometime...
Good luck, Mel, they're nearly impossible to find! Always worth trying though!
Also, for those interested, there's some never before seen concept art from the Sam & Max in space story in the Sketchbook, including a giant flying Max head spaceship (or maybe asteroid, I can't tell?), and Sam in some sort of Mad Max (the movie, not the lagomorph) -inspired gigantic thumb-wrestling battle-mech.
Sam & Max could work outside the adventure genre. When I first played GTA3 the first thing that came to mind was that that gameplay style would work really well, possibly better, as a Sam & Max game instead of as a semi-serious mafia simulator.
But yeah, they do also obviously fit really well within the confines of a graphic adventure game.
I think between the TV show and the comics, they've been to space enough times. Telltale making an episode where they go to the moon would be like if they made an episode involving Bigfoots.
Besides, how could they travel through space now? The Desoto doesn't have a roof

While each installment features a self-contained story, the episodes also reveal clues about an insidious foe that will challenge the crimefighting duo as never before in a truly out-of-this world season finale. The title of the season's epic concluding episode will be revealed in the coming months.

Sam and Max were supposed to go into space in Plunge Through Space. Then they were supposed to visit a space station in Freelance Police.
I guess they must be destined to get into space in a game someday. Live up to your duty, Telltale! Send them to the MOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!
(Though, on the other hand, a space level may be a Mark From The Gods (TM) that indicates upcoming cancellation of a Sam and Max game. Or something. )

it is an adventure game after all ;-)
:eek:
I don't remember exactly but I think they did.
