SAM & MAX TO HIT THE ROAD (AND OTHERS) IN LONG
AWAITED CLASSIC ADVENTURE SEQUEL FROM LUCASARTS
Popular
Madcap Dog and Rabbity Thing to Return for More Hilariously Skewed Adventures First
Quarter 2004 on Windows PC
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. -- August 27, 2002 -- Sam & Max, interactive entertainment's most
beloved canine and rabbit combo, hit the road again first quarter 2004 in a long awaited
adventure comedy sequel for Windows PC from LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC. The
follow up to the critically acclaimed 1993 adventure classic Sam & Max Hit the
Road® will dispatch the Freelance Police into a wild
world of screwy and vaguely quixotic missions. Each one will be jam packed with
nerve-jangling action, brain-busting puzzles, and the kind of easygoing banter one might
expect from a talking dog and a naked, hyperkinetic bunny.
 Sam & Max
are based upon the "Sam & Max Freelance Police" comic book series created by
Steve Purcell. LucasArts' Michael Stemmle, co-director of the award-winning original game,
will direct the sequel.
"Sam & Max Hit the Road is a classic and as close to being a
signature game as any LucasArts has ever done," says Simon Jeffery, president of
LucasArts. "The Sam & Max sequel, much like the recently announced Full
Throttle® II, perfectly complements LucasArts' renowned
adventure game legacy and lends further support to the company's commitment to investing
in and developing more of our original properties."
