Episode Idea

edited January 2008 in Sam & Max
So I was playing Phantom of the Opera on the piano and an idea struck me. Sam and Max with a musical episode!

Oh yeah! I know its absolutely absurd but what in Sam and Max isn't. Buffy the Vampire Slayer had a musical episode (Once More, with Feeling) and Scrubs had a musical episode (My Musical). I think it's only fair that Sam and Max get the same. And I can't think of a single game that is a musical. Sam and Max could be the first!

    I don't think it suits Sam & Max at all.

    I suspect that would be Mike Stemmle's dream game. I talked to him at E3 a few times, when Escape From Monkey Island was being made, and he repeatedly said he wanted to do an all-singing, all-dancing adventure game. I can't tell if he was joking.

    Thanks Sam ;)

    I think a musical episode would be a very very very bad idea.

    Isn't one really excellent song per episode good enough? You can put them all together to make your own special Sam and Max: The Musical.

    If you ever see him again, as if he's played Rhapsody. It was the first (and last) musical RPG to be made out of Japan.

    This idea has me both intrigued and horrified at once.

    NO!!! DON"T DO IT! No one wants a musical.

    Speak for yourself. I'd love to see one, even if I have no idea how it'd work in the context of a game.

    Would it be such an awful idea? It could be funny. I keep hearing people wanting more off-the-wall things with Sam & Max. A musical sounds pretty crazy to me. You people call yourselves Sam & Max fans but you certainly don't seem to want to think outside the box.

    I think it could work if done right.

    It'd be a chance to see something I've always wanted to see: Sam and Max sitting at a piano, singing "Those Were The Days" from All In The Family.

    :P

    The thing that would make it tricky is timing. Both of the interactive song numbers in this series have suffered from a complete lack of momentum thanks to the pauses while waiting for the user to click.

    Well, I did love the ship singing part in Curse of Monkey Island...

    I'm fine with one song in one part of the game. But I don't want the whole episode to be a musical.
