How did you discover Telltale games?
How did you become a fan of telltale? I was bored in 2012 and was looking for a game to download on xbox live. Kept looking till I saw that the first episode of TWD season 1 was free. I heard that the game was good and since it was free I may as well give it a shot. Got hooked and now I've bought the season pass for every telltale game that's came out since.

I discovered them through Sam & Max: Save The World all the way back in the "good" all days of Gametap.
Disclaimer: Game Tap was awful
I saw The Walking Dead demo on PS3 and tried it. I really liked it, so I bought it.
I Was obsessed with TWD in 2011, I saw the trailer for TWD S1 and I knew I just had to have it.
I had just begun reading Fables a few months prior when I first heard of the Wolf Among Us back in 2013. The rest is history.
I saw a commercial for Season 2 when I was watching The Walking Dead show, that's how I first learned about the series. I looked into it a bit and ended up buying Season 1 and fell in love with it. Since then, I've played S2, TWAU, TFTBL, GOT, Minecraft, and am looking forward to playing Telltale's upcoming games, especially the Michonne series.
ZackScottGames played JP, which I instantly became interested in, and BTTF (though I didn't watch that playthrough till years later), and then season 1, TWAU, season 2, and I feel in line.
I played my first Telltale game back in 2005; Bone: The Great Cow Race. I had been bummed that Sam & Max: Freelance Police was cancelled at Lucasarts so when I learned that the dev team had formed a new company I was so excited - I've played basically everything they've made since and have been lucky to be here as an employee since 2013.
I played the Walking Dead Season 1 and loved the shit out of it.
Dam Telltale staff just replied to my thread! You guys have been doing a great job. Love every game you guys make.
I saw twd s1 at Walmart and i decided to buy it cuz I'm a fan of the show.
From the youtuber stanburdman from his TWAU review.
Saw the announcement for Telltale's The Walking Dead in 2011.
Thought to myself, "Da fuq is dis bullshit?! Dey should hav made it an FPS gayme! It would be SO much better!"
Then when it came out I begrudgingly watched an LP of the first episode then after a couple months the second. Bought it and fell in love with it.
Back around 2007 or 2008, I was looking through games on Steam and saw a free download for Episode 4 of Sam and Max Season 1. I didn't know much about the game or the source material going in, but I thought the presentation of the game was funny and I liked the immersion of playing out a story focused game. I kept Telltale on my radar and followed a few of their future titles like Strong Bad or Wallace and Gromit as they came out (and bought the first episodes of those titles). Later on, I bought the entirety of Sam and Max Seasons 1 and 2 on Steam and around that same time, they announced Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse (Season 3). Devil's Playhouse was the first full Telltale series I played live as it released. Eventually when a few years passed, I started becoming a bigger fan of Telltale and bought some of the Seasons that I had previously only tried the first episode of.
Back then, it was big news to hear Telltale got to work with large franchises like Wallace and Gromit, Monkey Island, Back to the Future, or Jurassic Park. If you had told me Telltale would move up from making niche adventure games with puzzles to becoming a very well known studio that could work with mega franchises like Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Marvel, Batman, Minecraft, etc, I'm not sure what I would've said if you had told me that a few years back.
The Walking Dead made me a fan. But I do think that I have distant memory of indirectly knowing Telltale by knowing about Back to the Future. I didn't brought the Walking Dead Season 1 until episode 2 was released. It was episode 3 where I truly got hooked and I have been playing their games ever since.
Back in 2012 everybody in gaming community was talking about TWD and how good it is so it got me interested. Then in June 2013 A New Day was free on PS3. I tried it and now I'm in love with TellTale
I purchased The Walking Dead season 1 during the Steam 2012 winter sale and loved it, after i finished i wanted to see if there where any more seasons and talk about the game so i joined this forum and followed Telltale and their games from then on.
I found out about them when they formed the company back in 2004 because I read at The International House of Mojo that members of the team of the cancelled Sam & Max: Freelance Police were forming a new company to make the episodic adventure games that LucasArts didn't think would sell.
I read that they released a poker game to test the ability of their website to deliver downloadable content, and considered helping out. But the high price point of the game (it was $14.95, if I remember correctly) and the fact that I didn't care for poker led me to pass on it (I later picked it up on Steam, the Telltale Store, and at retail when it was at a lower price point). The first game I purchased from Telltale was Bone: Out from Boneville, and I've owned every Telltale game since then, for multiple systems, and through multiple digital distribution sites.
I also participated in the Telltale forums before my registration date (I found one post of mine dating back to 2006, discussing Bone: The Great Cow Race, but as my posts were marked as Guest back then, all of my posts have been changed to the one lumped in generic Guest account during the migration from the vBulletin forums to Vanilla).
i first heard about the show coming to AMC in like 2010. and when season 1 ended, i needed more zombies in my life. i had a very strong zombie obsession (well not obsession but its really the only word i could think of at the moment..) so still waiting for season 2 i wanted to watch some good zombie action/drama. dead rising wasnt cutting it anymore so it started looking for anything. then i found on ign that TWD was getting a game made, but it was TBA. then i forgot about it. then the zombie rush came back and again started looking for something to get my fix on, and then i found the game again, watch the first 2, i think, episodes online and fell in love with it. and when i got the money i bought it, downloaded the episodes as it finished the previous ones and BOOM!! walking dead game changed my life. then i just started to look for info on what would happen next, and found TWAU. took sometime for me to play it but i ended up loving it and the rest is history.
Got curious what all the hype was about regarding the Walking Dead and right around the time, Cryoatic had finished the first season of The Walking Dead. While I absolutely hated a majority of the characters, I thought the narrative and play style was original and as someone who loves visual novels, it instantly drew me in. I was a silent fan for a couple of years until Tales from the Borderlands was released and I was hooked.
And now I'm even more hooked. GG, TellTale.
The Walking Dead.
I was searching for a story game and I heard about TWD TV Show so I looked that up first... First video showed TTG TWD S1 ending though XD LOL
Funny part is that I was scared of the living dead but not Mortal Kombat XD Not scared anymore LOL
I stumbled upon a let's play of Wolf Among Us the day it came out, I watched till the credits started and then I decided to buy the game myself. Afterwords I told my friend about the game and he told me about Walking Dead, and so it started...
Saw that The Wolf Among Us E1 was free on Xbox 360. Played it. Loved it and moved to The Walking Dead S1.. then it all began.
My first telltale game was Jurassic park the game, which I thought was pretty alright back in 2011, but I didn't know it was a telltale game. Twd made me learn of this place back in 2012, and I've stuck with since.
I might add that I learned about the walking dead thanks to an ad on a smosh video, which I learned about from the annoying orange. It's because of the annoying orange I am here. I mean I probably would have heard about these games later on and joined at a later time, but yeah.
Through a Dutch website called De Correspondent. They also do reviews about 'extraordinary games', as in games who don't follow the trodden paths, and they review The Walking Dead season 2 and The Wolf Among Us
Through Gamer Poop.
I was following this channel called 'Tatsudoshi' for years, now he uses his real name, Kdin, and works for Achievement Hunter; so anyway, he did a Spam Play (that's what he and his group called them) of the game and I thought the game's storyline was absolutely amazing. My brother gave me the game, and I, surprisingly, played the game like in two days. After that I was away for a while, and did not know or care what Telltale was, until one another guy I subscribed started a let's play of season two, and I was like.... what? they made season two? So I bought it, enjoyed the hell out of it even though people seem to hate it, but I thought it almost was as good as season one, with some things being not as good. Then the same YouTuber who started Season Two, started streaming The Wolf Among Us, I thought the game looked stupid... like a monkey flying? What the fuck is this? Then, for no reason at all, I still bought the game and think it maybe is better than TWD season one, and for some reason, I don't know how or why, I finally started to learn, oh Telltale makes all of these games.... and I fell in love with each game more and more, especially last year because both S2 and TWAU season finales were amazing.
My two older brothers saw a trailer for TWD S1 back in 2012 when it first came out, they went crazy for it. They were so excited to play the game after watching the show and reading the books, and then they showed me the trailer, and I got just as excited for the game as they were. Back in 2012 the three of us had never seen a game where the choices that you made effected the story, and the game was TWD themed, so my brothers and I split the season pass price three ways and bought the game. And we have done the same ever sense, once a TT game comes out we split the cost of the season pass three ways.
In The Walking Dead Season 1 and Season 2 I became aware through the Lets Play of Pietsmiet. At Tales from the Borderlands and Game of Thrones I became aware about SwingPoynt.
I had just finished watching BTTF 3 in 2011 when I heard about that BTTF game by Telltale,played it and immediately fell in love,I tried looking through their webpage but nothing there was that interesting,so I abandoned them,then in late 2014,I was bored one day and decided to get a WD game,I was searching for that game by AMC (yeah the shitty one XD) when I stumbled across TWDG by Telltale,so I decided to give it a go,and I wasn't disappointed,since then I've become a huge fan of TT and their games
I was looking for an adventure game and after checking review pages I found out a demo for CSI: 3 Dimensions of Murder (at that time I was pretty hung on CSI) played the demo but skipped the game (I couldn't buy it - it was region locked), later I found out about the new Sam & Max game, played the demo (episode 1) but at that time the gametap deal and "episodic releases" sounded sketchy, so I waited until the season was roughly complete (around a few weeks prior to episode 6 release) and after buying and playing a random episode (Episode 5, I dunno, the theme sounded right), I got hooked.
Oddly enough, I didn't realize that both the CSI game and Sam & Max were developed by the same company, I think mainly because Ubi (Publisher) was too prominent and Telltale was a complete unknown
Through TWDG in 2012.
Back in July 3, 2013 when PewDiePie uploaded a let's play of The Walking Dead 400 Days. I watched him play 400 Days then watched him play Season 1 because I didn't know about Season 1 until I got finished with his let's play and then bought the game for myself.
I first downloaded TWD right after watching the trailer for 400 Days. Believe it or not, I thought it was a comedy, so I bought the game thinking I would laugh. What I got was something much sadder than what I was expecting, but also much, much better. In fact, ever since that day I've never missed any Telltale game.
Through Pewdiepie's playthrough of The Walking Dead Game: Season One, that's when my love for TellTaleGames began
Via Sam & Max! I'd just finished playing Hit The Road and was craving more point-and-clicky nonsense.
