I have been hearing over and over again the quality of telltale games' Sam & Max series. So I began looking them up on Steam and XBLA. I downloaded the demo for XBLA, but it's painfully obvious that the interface is designed for a mouse, so I looked on steam.
Now here's the trick of the thing. I have a mac. Ordinarily this is rarely a huge problem, Mac is becoming more and more accessable as a gaming machine. and I'm not SO into games that I need every PC title out there, the ones available for mac are diverse enough to keep me happy.
Looking on steam I see that every Sam and Max Episode is available on Steam for a little under $9, great! but only season 2 is available for Mac, BOO!
This doesn't make much sense to me, why wouldn't they have made season 1 available before season 2? why not let people start at the beginning? why is my cat a lesbian? (it chews on the rugs in our bathroom, and judging from the purrs, loves every second of it, and I like the play on words "rug muncher")
Now, I'm going to buy these games, this much seems inevitable. But I don't want to have to buy it off of Xbox live or for the wii if I want to play season 1. So my fellow escapists, what's your opinion? is Season 2 good enough that I can ignore season 1? Is Season 1 coming for the Mac? Are there solutions available that I haven't considered?
