Thank You Telltale.
I'm generally not a fan of people on forums thanking companies, or when people write on celebrities MySpace pages and think that what they say matters. But this announcement has stirred my heart to say something:
Thank you, Telltale. Games like Sam & Max, and Monkey Island were huge parts of my child hood - once LucasArts changed directions, those hopes and dreams I had of more adventure games died. Now you came along, like Santa, and gave me what I had hoped for for a long time: great adventure games with the characters I grew up with. When I say I grew up with these characters, it is no joke. I would play these games over and over for years, and I still do (even though I'm 24, and married to a women who thinks it's funny that even though we have this fun new Wii, I still play the old "kids" games on the computer).
While I commend LucasArts for making their Special Edition remake of MI1 (and am very excited about it), my heartfelt thanks goes out to Telltale. This is the part where I start a slow clap dedicated to you, and other people join in.
Anyone else with me?

So I just join in.
Thank you Telltale.
Thanks for not only doing this, but also proving, through the success of ALL your games, that adventure games are not dead and that they are indeed profitable. I didn't think I'd see the day again when LucasArts marketing was convinced of that fact. Nice job guys, I'm truly excited.
Not sure if I should get this on Wii or PC yet...
This is the best day ever, remember to include a rubberchicken with a pulley in the game!

But this is... so awesome. Telltale has truely caught me off guard, i dont care if you dont make a sam and max season 3 for a whole another year this has truely made up for it. Call me greedy but now my mind is thinking of the other classics that could come, out of all the point and clicks day of the tentacle jumps to mind but like i said i'm a greedy old sod, we've truely been spoilt to see telltale not only ressurect sam and max and do a aweosme job of it but also bring back the mother of all classics.
Telltale i salute you
p.s will this be available in disc form in the shops?
Well alot in my opinion so here goes...
Ive been saying for years how LucasArts was sitting on a goldmine with games such as Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, Monkey Island and Sam and Max. They were so different then anything else at the time and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. And when I heard Tellwood picked up Monkey Island, I was ecstatic. Its literally a dream come true. I was so disappointed by the new Full Throttle and the fact that it was terminated that I thought none of these games would ever be picked up again.
Now that I see that Tellwade has their hands on Monkey Island, I feel relieved I can relive my childhood fun playing Guybrush once again. Thanks Tellcake, you are seriously the man.
Very happy and also cant wait for the remake too!
Pre-ordered the 5 episodes already =]
Telltale won E3 for me, before it even began!
I remember playing Monkey Island when I was little. No, I didn't grow up with it like a lot of the gamers here, but I sure loved it. And now I'll love it even more, since you guys will make it.
I just saw the announcement today, and when I logged in, at first, I thought it was a joke, and then after that, I was tempted to run outside and scream. You guys have really done it this time.
Thank you guys!
That said, I will now shut up.
Hopefully they release it with the DVD
But now that I found out that our old friend Guybrush is back from the dead, I can safely say; TELLTALE GAMES IS MY FAVORITE VIDEOGAME COMPANY EVER!!! Double Fine is still in second.
Mind Blown... Game Preordered... Etc...
Thanks Telltale!!!!!
