Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space

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.
