Sam and Max: Plunge Through Space S&MTS was an action/exploration/adventure game in development in 2001 by Developer Infinite machine. (interview here with Chuck Jordan) http://www.telltalegames.com/summerofsamandmax/history/history4 The game was originally announced in September 2001 by Infinite Machine, a small company founded by former LucasArts employees. However, the poor sales on its first game, New Legends, caused Infinite Machine to go bankrupt next year. Soon after, LucasArts acquired the Sam & Max rights and announced Freelance Police (which would go on to be canceled in March 2004). Sam and Max: Freelance Police After Infinite Machine went under, Lucas Arts acquired the rights to the sam and max series, and began development on sam and Max: Freelance Police. The game development was in full swing till one day in march of 2004 when Lucas Arts cancelled the game out of the blue stating "current marketplace realities" and "underlying economic conditions" were the reasons for cancellation.
