Sam & Max Sequel Axed [Mar 03, 2004, 3:12 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
LucasArts has
posted the announcement of cancellation of Sam & Max Freelance Police,
planned as a sequel to Sam & Max Hit the Road, their classic adventure game
(thanks Quboid). Word is:
"After careful evaluation of current market place realities and underlying economic considerations, we've decided that this was not the appropriate time to launch a graphic adventure on the PC" says Mike Nelson, Acting General Manager and VP of Finance and Operations. There is currently no plan to reduce staff.
To play Sam and Max on the PC using current hardware go to:
www.sourceforge.net and search for a program called Scumm VM. It's hard for me to explain what it does, but it basically runs the game's interaction with the PC while using all the original content from the game's CD. It can be used to run all sorts of old adventure games (classics like Day of the Tentacle and Sam and Max)
----------
Anyway, I was miserable the day I learned Full Throttle was cancelled and I'm pretty upset today now that Sam and Max have been cancelled. I miss the classic adventure games. Hopefully they'll still make another Curse of Monkey Island...
edit: guess I should have read further up and I would have seen that this was already posted. Oh well...
