Happy Anniversary! Sam & Max sells for soap

As you may know, Sam & Max turn a quarter of a century old this year, and Telltale is celebrating with various discount offers on their three seasons across the various platforms they've made their way to over time.

Telltale CEO Dan Connors said "Steve Purcell created something unique, funny and enduring that continues to grab new fans every single year; now's the perfect time for gamers to see what all the fuss is about and for current fans to complete their collections with these special offers."

"Sam & Max have always had a happy home at Telltale", said creator Steve Purcell. "They just "get" what Sam & Max is about and so these games are the perfect place to enter their world. It's wonderful and gratifying that after 25 years, Sam & Max continue to make people happy and I'm excited that these offers provide gamers with an opportunity to play the marvelously inventive games that Telltale made. Here's to another 25 years!"

Honestly, this is a rather quiet way to commemorate the characters' 25th year of existence (and would it kill LEC to throw Hit the Road up on Steam?), but given that Purcell was recently canvassing for ideas about their future on his blog as well as expressing desires to see the duo adapted to other mediums, we may well be experiencing the calm before a tempest of Freelance Police mayhem in the upcoming years.

Now I wish I waited to try Sam & Max on Xbox 360. Oh, well at least I didn't grab season two yet. $30 for both isn't that bad I suppose. :)
