I am in the minority, but I don't like the way these games are 'remastered.' Sprites are awesome.

Which is totally understandable. Which is why I do appreciate that with these LucasArts remasterings, you can switch between the original and remastered versions.

Yes that's the only reason I'd buy a remaster; if it had the remaster plus the original version for those who prefer it. You're actually the first person I've seen that is civil about it. Other people think I'm crazy for preferring the old version to a shiny new version.

Bah. No need getting angry over differening opinions about a video game. I grew up on those games and played them in their original form, but I actually like the remastered graphics, sound/music, and sometimes interface. But because I grew up on them, I like switching back and forth at least to see the difference.

Actually, Disney/Lucasfilm only own rights for Hit the Road game. Anything else related to characters is Steve's.
But.....steve percell “..

Gave it to telltale so do they need to grab it from disney or telltale?

Telltale doesn't own Sam & Max anymore than they own The Walking Dead. Steve Purcell would have to be a part of the release, as he owns the rights of Sam & Max himself. Basically, they would have to ask both Steve Purcell and Disney.

The same reason why they made The Walking Dead video game. They made an agreement with the rights holder, in the case of Sam & Max that is Steve Purcell, and developed a game based on it. Do you think that the companies who make games based on movies own the movies? To you, does EA own Star Wars? Sam and Max is based on a comic by Steve Purcell that his brother made as a child, and he modified, so his brother gave him the rights on one of his birthdays.

Kinda curious how far they will go with these remasters if Sam And Max is the next?
Personally hoping for Loom and Curse of Monkey Island i know that Shafer didn't work on CMI.
May have done some consulting or something on the background.

Also Outlaws or anything of the Darkforces/Jedi Knight series would be awesome as well.
