Last week, Telltale released the trailer to its upcoming adventure game Sam & Max, and yesterday the trailer became available for download. Not a lot is revealed, except the visual style of the game and the franchise's trademark humor. The clip emphasizes GameTap to no end, but bear in mind this title is not a GameTap exclusive.
The first season of Sam & Max is coming this fall -- holy jumping saints-aplenty riding side-wise on a candied-pink fat boy!

"Ampersand hash dollar sign exclamation point!"
"What the @#$% are you doing?"
"Long-hand swearing, asterisk-mouth."

I love Sam and Max, but the fact that those are not the original voices bugs the sh*t outta me.

It's been far too long since I've been able to play Sam & Max. Does anyone else here agree that all the old Lucasarts point-and-click adventures would be just perfect on the DS? imagine the bottom screen being all your options and the screens would switch to use that option on something in the room. It would be perfect! I want Sam and Max, Full Throttle, Grim Fandango, Day of the Tentacle, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Dig, all of them! I don't know anyone with a computer that will run them anymore. :( The least they could do is update them for Windows XP. Those games are classics.

@4: Which "original voices," the ones from the video game or the ones from the tv show?
Quoth Telltale:
[Sorry, we won't be getting the original voices.] Take a few minutes to stomp your feet and swear at us. We'll wait.
Okay, so we didn't get those guys. But we're working to choose voice actors who we and Steve Purcell think are true to the characters. We'll make sure Sam & Max sound great long before they open their mouths on your dime. We're looking at experienced actors who have tons of credits in games and other media. Don't worry, we won't keep you in suspense much longer. You'll get to hear Sam & Max speak before the season even starts.

@Edmund: Get ScummVM, man! There's a version for nearly every platform. Not DS, unfortunately. But running them on a PocketPC, landscape-style, is fun; those things seem made for a stylus.
You can use your old discs for the content -- all ScummVM does is give you a new S.C.U.M.M. interpreter that works properly on your new machine. All those great old LucasArts adventures (up to Curse of Monkey Island, I believe) were written for a virtual machine, so to "port" them to XP all you need is the data files and a new virtual machine.
