Nine years ago, a travesty occurred

Yeah - I was sad when it was canceled, too.  But like Lamb said - they recycled the ideas into the games Tell Tale made... and that's that, really.

I do love Sam and Max Hit The Road, though.  I love it the passion of 10,000 burning suns!  That game is seriously funny, and seriously twisted.  I'm not sure I ever giggled as much at a game before that one.

You know, the thing is, I don't think any of the new games used any of the ideas from the cancelled game at all!

Blackthorne

They did use some - recycled is definitely the word.  They took ideas and threads and molded them to what they needed. 

It's always easy to glorify and objectify something that never existed either - you can always think of it as "The greatest game you never played!" and you'd never know if you were right or wrong because you'll never play it.

But suppose that game were to come back from the dead... maybe we will play it after all!

Can't argue with that logic!

So if Graham has 42 pies, did he find 42 coins under 42 wagons?

Well, you can buy a pie with gold, but I wouldn't reccomend it. :P

Can you see a gypsy for a pie then? Seems only fair.

by the way, if you guys liked the pie joke so much, you could always check out the Special Features sub-forum of TSL there's loads more there

I like to think of him going to a wagon parking-lot and checking under every single wagon in sight. Of course, then the player has to click 42 silver coin images on the baker to get the 42 pies... :P
