This Telltale press release announces episode one of
Strong Bad's Cool Game for
Attractive People launches August 11 for PC worldwide and for WiiWare in
North and South America:
SAN RAFAEL, CA, August 5, 2008 – Telltale Inc.,
the leader in interactive episodic entertainment, is announcing that "Homestar
Ruiner", the first of five monthly Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People
episodes, will premiere Monday, August 11. "Homestar Ruiner" will release on
Nintendo's WiiWare™ download service in North and South America and worldwide on
PC simultaneously. WiiWare availability for Europe, Australia and New Zealand
will follow shortly.
As the star of the popular Homestarrunner.com web cartoons, Strong Bad has been
answering emails (in boxing gloves), pranking his friends, pummeling his
enemies, and making people with questionable taste snort milk out of their noses
for years. Now he's branching out to star in the monthly Strong Bad's Cool Game
for Attractive People series developed in partnership with Homestarrunner.com
creators Mike and Matt Chapman.
In the season premiere, Strong Bad's plans to beat the snot out of his rival
Homestar Runner backfire, and he ends up with an unwanted houseguest cramping
his style. Now he needs to get life back to normal, by any means possible.
Comical point-and-click gameplay progresses the story, with side quests, mini
games, achievements, and an "extended play" sandbox mode that unlocks after the
story is completed rounding out the game experience.
