Jalixx3: Now I have remembered that I actually bought that one from the Telltale website. Uf, guess I'm never seeing that again.
Leroux: Can't you log in and download it from their website anymore? I see the website still exists, and I heard they removed the DRM on some of their games (no idea about TWD, but it might be worth a try?).
I appreciate you taking the time to suggest it, but I think the site is already down. Every time I have tried to log in, it says, "Looks like something went awry. Please try again in a minute."
rob.liefeld: All these games are trying to connect to a server at startup. Do I have to crack my legal copies?
My experience with buying the Sam and Max games from both stores is that the Telltale website versions of the games require you to log in when you start the game. The GOG versions keep the log in screen, but it is disabled. The screen disappears after a second or two. Is that what you are talking about?
Fortuk: Which of these are must-haves? I don't think I've ever played a Tell-Tale game.
The Puzzle Agent games are great with cool atmosphere. They do contain abstract puzzles similar to what you would see in a hidden object game, though, so they are not to everyone's taste. Ross of Accursed Farms did a great review of them in his Ross's Game Dugeon series (found on Youtube).
