LUCASARTS ANNOUNCES NAME AND
RELEASE DATE FOR UPCOMING SAM & MAXTM
PC GAME
Disturbingly Idolized
Canine and Rabbit Duo Slated to Return Spring 2004 for More Chaotic Hijinks in
Sam & Max Freelance PoliceTM
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. – May 12, 2003 – Spring 2004 marks the
return of interactive entertainment’s most freakishly adored dog and bunny tag
team, as LucasArts unleashes Sam & Max Freelance PoliceTM
onto an unsuspecting Windows PC game buying public. The long-rumored follow up
to the critically acclaimed adventure classic Sam & Max Hit the Road®
plunges Sam & MaxTM into
a whimsical miasma of fur-flying action, hare-pulling puzzles, and unnerving
cross-species jocularity.
