The Sam & Max video game series consists of comedic graphic adventures based on the comic book characters created by Steve Purcell. The franchise includes episodic titles such as Sam & Max: Season One and Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space, as well as the virtual reality game Sam & Max: This Time It's Virtual!. These games have been released and remastered across multiple platforms by developers like Telltale Games and HappyGiant.
Following the transition of the intellectual property from 2D point-and-click roots to modern 3D formats, the franchise established a robust release history. The multi-part format gained traction with the console port of
Sam & Max: Season One (2008), which introduced the Freelance Police to a broader console audience. This was followed by
Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space (2010), expanding the narrative scope with supernatural and sci-fi themes.
