About Sam and Max
Sam and Max started as a LucasArts point and click adventure in 1993, then returned as three episodic Telltale seasons between 2006 and 2010.
This play order follows release order, with the Skunkape remasters listed as modern substitutes for the originals.
Good to know
Poker Night at the Inventory (2010) and its 2013 sequel are poker games with Sam and Max cameos, not story entries, so they sit outside the list. The Devil's Playhouse Remastered arrived August 14, 2024, and nothing new has been announced since.
