Telltale’s Sam & Max Season Two debuted in November 2007, six months after the conclusion of Sam & Max Season One. Five episodes came out roughly once a month on GameTap (an early “Netflix for games” type service owned by Turner Broadcasting) and the Telltale Games website. A Steam release followed in May 2008.

Back then, digital distribution was in its infancy. Graphics and audio were highly compressed to keep download sizes low, and the games were designed to work on low-end computers to appeal to a mainstream audience.

In 2018, when Telltale went through liquidation, four of the studio’s original employees formed Skunkape Games and acquired the rights to Telltale’s Sam & Max games. We’re in the process of remastering all three seasons, but we didn’t want the originals to be lost to time.

That’s why we’ve bundled the original Season Two episodes with the Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space remaster. With this free DLC, you can play the original Season Two episodes as they were back in the day—low screen resolution, compressed audio, original Bosco voice, and all!

Due to insurmountable technical hurdles, these versions will not be updated and we can’t provide tech support. (Difficulty fixing bugs in the old game engine is a main reason we’re remastering the games in the first place!) We’re making them available for historical preservation purposes only.

Bonus Features

When these episodes first came out, people were very concerned about buying downloadable games without backup copies. To soften the blow, Telltale released a Sam & Max Season Two DVD at the end of the episodic run, complete with bonus features. We have uploaded most of these to our YouTube channel: bloopers, developer commentary, and more! You can also access them by clicking the "Bonus Features" button in the DLC launcher.
