It's a Max, Max, Max, Max, Max-Max World!
10 years after their last proper adventure, it's time for an encore.
Sam & Max are finally back and I couldn't be any happier!

The absolute love dripping from this remaster is enough to make you vomit... In a good way, so to speak. Seeing as this was one of the first titles developed by Telltale way back in 2006, when they still were a small studio, the graphics weren't that impressive and there were some technical flaws. This remaster overhauls the visual presentation entirely, using the most recent iteration of the Telltale Tool, and it looks absolutely jaw-dropping.

On top of that, several elements, most importantly the character models, have been remodeled with higher poly counts, along with less compressed textures and audio. Crime fighting of the dog and rabbity-thing kind never looked and sounded so glorious.

And of course, there are several new arrangements and tracks from Jared Emerson-Johnson and the talented folk over at Bay Area Sound, and they are all just as good, if not better than the originals. (Thanks for releasing the album on steam btw, that's really cool!)

Skunkape and all who worked on this remaster, I applaud you. Thank you so much for keeping Sam & Max alive with such an outstanding game!

15 years later, there still is nothing else quite like it.
Absolutely brilliant visuals, unique and fun gameplay loop, stellar soundtrck by Masafumi Takada and a mind boggling symbolic story by Suda51.
It aged remarkably well and I highly recommend it.
Kudos to Engine Software for their porting job, delivering the best version of the game bar none. I'm really glad they got to work with porting NMH 1 & 2 to the Switch as well!

A wonderful little program for its price! "Little" isn't really doing it justice, it has a great amount of features and is extremely user friendly. Highly recommend it if pixel art is your kind of thing!

Deceptively simple at a first glance.
You are the Rogue. You are tasked with exploring an ever-growing procedurally generated dungeon. You are to slay monsters. You are to collect treasure and items. You are mortal. You are going to die.
Rogue is impressive, addictive and brutal. For a 35 year old PC game, it holds up really well, I highly recommend it.
Always have that F1 key handy, you're gonna need it.

It's DOOM. Great level design, thrilling gunplay and an amazing soundtrack to boot.

Challenging but fun little game.
Played a ton on mobile to pass time, but the controls felt cluttered on a tiny touch-screen. It feels so nice on a pad or keyboard

Keep coming back to this season years after I first played it, it stuck with me. One of the best point n clicks I've ever played and a perfect send-off for classic TTG.
