Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse

The old-school Sam &amp; Max The Devil's Playhouse experience: five episodes exactly as they were when they first released. Want to know what playing these games was like in 2010? Now you can!

Telltale’s third Sam &amp; Max season debuted in April 2010 under the name Sam &amp; Max: The Devil's Playhouse. Released after two years after the previous season, Sam &amp; Max: The Devil's Playhouse surprised fans with a new &quot;grittier&quot; look, a more cinematic presentation, console-style gamepad controls, and a serialized storyline that linked the five monthly episodes through a series of cliffhangers, building to an epic finale in August 2010. Digital distribution was coming out of its infancy back then, but it was still in its early days. Graphics and audio had to be highly compressed to keep download sizes low, and the Devil's Playhouse episodes 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 &amp; Max games. We've now finished remastering the complete trilogy, but we don't want the originals to be lost to time. That’s why we’ve bundled the original episodes with our Sam &amp; Max: The Devil's Playhouse remaster. With this free DLC, you can play the original episodes as they were back in the day—low screen resolution, compressed audio, warts 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.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Bonus Features</h2>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 &amp; Max: The Devil's Playhouse DVD at the end of the episodic run, complete with bonus features. We will soon be uploading most of these to our YouTube channel: bloopers, developer commentary, and more! You can also access them by clicking the &quot;Bonus Features&quot; button in the DLC launcher.
