Description

This is the collection of the six episodes of Telltale Games' first season of Sam & Max games. It includes:

• Culture Shock
• Situation: Comedy
• The Mole, the Mob, and the Meatball
• Abe Lincoln Must Die!
• Reality 2.0
• Bright Side of the Moon

The digital download version was already available with the release of the first episode, in 2006 (though technically a pre-order), and the whole season was "re-released" in May 2007 when all episodes had been released individually. This collection is also available on a double-sided DVD, with the following extras:

• Cover by Steve Purcell
• Sam & Max videos: trailers, machinima shorts, Season 1 outtakes, a concept art montage, and some cutscene commentary, playable on a regular DVD player (region free).

Purchasers of the the digital download version can get the DVD for free (only shipping and handling needs to be paid) and also received some of the episodes a little earlier than single-episode buyers .

The US retail version differs from the digital download version and includes besides the episodes:

• Full-sized poster with a Sam & Max artwork created by Steve Purcell
• A bonus CD with an exclusive Sam & Max Behind the Scenes video, exclusive character biographies, trailers, several concept arts and desktop wallpapers and the Season One Soundtrack

The Wii version of the game offers the game for the first time on the platform, with all six episodes and adapted for the Wii controls, with no additional extras.
