Get all Sam & Max seasons, Tales of Monkey Island, and more fantastic Telltale adventures 85% off!

Welcome to our [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/telltale_weekend_promo_190413]Telltale Crazy Sale! Before your head explodes from the abundance of awesomeness, let's try cooling you off with a piece of back-story. Point-and-click adventure games are one of the most prominent and characteristic genre in PC gaming. Yet somehow, there was a point in the history, when classic adventure games were considered an endangered species. Fewer, and fewer of them came out each year and this once abundant stream started to dry out. Partially because of the transition from 2D pixel graphics into the polygonic realm of 3D, partially because of the flood of flashy action games providing more and more immersion and interactive action, as opposed to the generally static gameplay of adventure games--the genre wasn't doing very well. The new adventure titles pursued gimmicks and trickery to make themselves more appealing to the "new audience". Indeed, the future of point-and-click adventures looked quite grim for some time. But then, some industry veterans with a good sense of direction and understanding of adventure gamer's soul, launched Telltale Games. The adventure gaming community sighed with relief. All was good again.

Today, we celebrate the successful rebirth and current prosperity of the classic adventure genre by running the Telltale Crazy Sale, featuring such fantastic titles as Sam & Max Save the World, Tales of Monkey Island, and Back to the Future: The Game (and more!). The whole seasons of Telltale's fabulous games are available 85% off for the whole weekend! If you love point-and-click adventures but the price tags kept you from enjoying some of the best of them, it's your lucky day!

The offer will last until Tuesday, April 23, at 9:59AM GMT.

TheEnigmaticT: In the mean time, here's TheEnigmaticT singing your favorite Frank Sinatra hits!
Sad thing is I still enjoyed it, I think he is doing a homage to Tex Murphy with the overcoat.

I dunno what it is about Telltale games, they just don't appeal to me so I've never bothered with them, I do know a lot of people on GoG like them however so for them this sale is excellent

tinyE: Never played Monkey Island, downloading the demo now. If it works this could be sweet. Wait, I mean it could be "swell". :P
You know it.

Johnmourby: I just noticed that the Dark Fall games are no longer available on here (luckily I have them on disk). We need some kind of announcement for when games leave the catolog as well as joining.
Thank you.
Good point, I just went and checked to make sure I'd already bought them and hadn't missed out.

Profanity: Sam & Max - not really stellar writing? Huh?
I was surmising Telltale games in general, how they tend to follow the same formula while changing characters and settings. Didn't mean to imply that they are badly written but, until the Walking Dead game, not award-winning no. At this price point, I think they're all worth it and agree that Sam & Max are probably the most different and probably the best out of the lot.

htown1980: No Mac version means no buy for me. :). Sort your shit out gog!!! ;)
Maybe they do what I do and flush their shit down the toilet. No one likes sorting through excrement.

But seriously if there are mac versions I'm sure GOG would love to have them here too, might be licensing issues, I know some game companies mac versions are packaged and sold by other companies certainly years back where the mac market was smaller.

As far as I know, Telltale Games have mac version available of all of their games. I bought them on their website and I can even download both version. Strange that they didn't include them here.

benmar: Thanks, but the problem is I like the old Monkey Island games (1, 2 and 3) AND the Wallace and Gromit claymation, but have only enough money for one of them. At least until I get my paycheck.
As jpolastre mentioned, Wallace & Gromit's adventures are the shortest (4 episodes) while Tales of Monkey Island stands at 5 episodes but then again W&G costs nearly half the price of Monkey Island.
You can download and try out the demos for Wallace & Gromit and Tales of Monkey Island from Telltale Games website to help you decide. I think the demos are part of the corresponding 1st episode of each series.

Another crazy sale by TT after just finishing one with Jurassic Park and TWD on Steam. I wonder are they trying to generate additional funds for finishing the Fables games.

The only one of their games I don't yet own (bought direct or DVDs direct) is The Walking Dead, and that because I haven't be sure if I want to play a Zombie game and I've soured a bit to the direction TT seems to be going.

Not only that but I think every episode was shorter in W&G too. I haven't measured it but it sure felt like "Huh? Am I at the final scene already?"
