Telltale Games was founded in 2004 by Dan Connors, Kevin Bruner, Troy Molander, and other designers who had been working on a 3D sequel to Sam & Max Hit the Road for LucasArts. Founders cite a strong, disappointed reaction from a large community of gamers when LucasArts announced its cancellation of the sequel, Sam & Max: Freelance Police, as evidence of continued interest in the adventure game genre and a primary reason for creating their studio. ~ All Game Guide
