Press Release:

Climactic Sam & Max: Season 1 finale released to customers worldwide

"Bright Side of the Moon" draws the groundbreaking episodic series to a triumphant close

SAN RAFAEL, CA, May 10, 2007 &#8211; Gamers' favorite deadpan dog and slightly psychotic rabbity-thing are going where no team (or game series) has gone before&#8230; to the moon, little buddy! The final chapter of Sam & Max: Season 1, "Bright Side of the Moon," has just been released to customers worldwide at <!-- w --> www.telltalegames.com <!-- w -->, marking the culmination of a landmark series considered by many to be the first truly successful demonstration of episodic gaming.

"The episodic model was one of those often talked about concepts that had yet to be fully realized," says Dan Connors, Telltale's CEO. "With Sam & Max: Season 1, we not only built and shipped six games in seven months, but we did it in a way that took advantage of everything the episodic model has to offer. We created a completely unique and enjoyable gaming experience, and the beauty is, we're just getting started."

Since the series' debut last October, the overarching storyline in Sam & Max: Season 1 has revolved around an increasingly insidious mind control plot. In "Bright Side of the Moon," Sam & Max must blast into outer space to infiltrate a utopian lunar retreat and confront the mastermind behind the scheme. But when the crime-fighting duo's special brand of chaos intersects with a disturbingly toxic tranquility, have these freelance police finally met their match?

"With huge dollops of creative frenzy tossed into episode 6, the Telltale crew nicely tops off a great season,&#8221; says Sam & Max creator Steve Purcell. "I'm really pleased." Telltale's Design Director Dave Grossman adds, "Bright Side of the Moon is the snuggly-fitting cap on the Serious toothpaste of Season 1. I feel clean."

Downloadable versions of all six episodes are now available at <!-- w --> www.telltalegames.com <!-- w -->. Individual episodes may be purchased for $8.95, while the full season of six episodes sells for $34.95 (a savings of almost $20 over the individual episode price).
