Telltale Games - Abe Lincoln Must Die free for all (literally!)

Abe Lincoln Must Die free for all (literally!)
Posted by emily	November 5, 2007
UPDATE NOV. 6: The free version is now available directly from Telltale, too! We're closing in on the Season Two launch, and we're so giddy with excitement about it that we've done something a little crazy. Remember Abe Lincoln Must Die, the episode that got some of the best reviews last season? We've decided to slash the price into oblivion. That's right, from now on, Abe Lincoln Must Die is FREE. Yep, as in zero dollars. What's the catch? There is none. Just go download it and stop asking questions already. The free episode is exclusively available at IGN, GameSpy, and FilePlanet today. Starting tomorrow you'll be able to get it from Telltale's site and probably a bunch of other places, too. Please spread the news to all your ~~cheap~~ frugal friends! Oh, and we also cut the price of the full Season One bundle today, to $29.95. Life is good.

	funny thing is I never really liked that episode. It was my least fav so how it got the best reviews shrugs My fave was ted E Bears Mafia Free Casino 8D
	Comment by Kitmit13	November 5, 2007, 10:46 am

	It's also been free on Gametap for a while. Dunno why that isn't mentioned here.
	Comment by buster42	November 5, 2007, 11:43 am

	It's free on thepiratebay.org aswell... hehehe, just kidding! ;)

	(ps. I have bought Season 1, bought the DVD, bought the Case file, and payed top dough for overseas shipping, so there!)

	WOW U GUYS ARE AWESOME THX U
	Comment by leonil	November 5, 2007, 1:46 pm

	It almost makes me wish I hadn't bought the entire season already. Okay, not really. I have no regrets!
	Comment by TrogLlama	November 5, 2007, 1:47 pm

	You always manage to surprise me somehow... :-)
	Comment by Diduz	November 5, 2007, 1:51 pm

	Now my dirt poor friends can play it! Thanks Telltale!
	Comment by djoftheweb	November 5, 2007, 1:52 pm

	Whoa ! Great news ! * goes spreading the word *
	Comment by ClémentXVII	November 5, 2007, 2:14 pm

	Now I have sent the link to all my friends (all two of them =P). The only thing I need now is for Surfing The Highway to be released 'til christmas, so I will have a reason to pick up a three or four copy's.
	Comment by fajerkaos	November 5, 2007, 2:36 pm

	This... is permanent? Whoa. I got the impression from what GameTap did that it was gonna be a sortof promo deal, not a full-time conversion-to-freeware. This... is awesomeness. Now I just wish I could get back my five dollars back. Oh well.
	Comment by Maratanos	November 5, 2007, 3:50 pm

	Tehee, I went the cheap way when the season was done, got 1 month of gametap, and played through all of them. Now I can relive the glory.
	Comment by Yit	November 5, 2007, 4:16 pm

	Wow! No other game company would even consider giving a game free! Even though I already bought the full season, this is great news for newcomers of Sam N' Max! This really shows how much Telltale cares about the community! Download away!
	Comment by Wile_E	November 5, 2007, 5:59 pm

	Smart move chaps! Now to install bootcamp and Windows on my Mac to play it... :D
	Comment by Funny Pixelton	November 5, 2007, 8:33 pm

	Yay! This is awesome for me because Gametap won't work for me,even though I'm a US Citizen living in Mexico. BOO BORDERS.
	Comment by Dave Silva	November 5, 2007, 8:43 pm

	Something this awesome could ony happen at Telltale. Thanks guys!
	Comment by Rasher	November 5, 2007, 9:50 pm

	Cool, that was the best episode of the first season. It was absolutely brilliant.
	Comment by sfox	November 6, 2007, 1:40 am

	To be honest, I do question this decision. Yes, giving away one of the best episodes of the season makes sense in some marketing bods eyes, but surely giving away Abe Lincoln not only presents a disjointed view of the plot, but blows Telltales load because people know it was one of the best episodes, so there's no need to get any of the earlier episodes because they were weaker. I personally welcomed the return of S&M and the adventure genre, but the FPS kiddies won't bite unless the violence is graphic and there are tits.
	Comment by Optimaximal	November 6, 2007, 2:09 am

	But there are tits! I think.
	Comment by xChri5x	November 6, 2007, 2:14 am

	There are always tits! There should always be tits! All play and no tits make Smollie a very dull boy! Ahem... Hey look behind you! A Three-headed monkey! (running footsteps receding in the distance)
	Comment by Smollie	November 6, 2007, 2:31 am

	spread the link! lets get these downloads up..should increase sales for season 2!
	Comment by Hero1	November 6, 2007, 3:10 am

	Argh, if I'd just waited a couple of days I'd have gotten it five bucks cheaper. Well, I hope you use my extra five dollars to make more adventure games and not to bankroll a going out of business party. It looks like you're all I've got till 2015.
	Comment by Joe Newberry	November 6, 2007, 3:18 am

	mmmmmm cheese
	Comment by Aussie	November 6, 2007, 3:28 am

	people know it was one of the best episodes, so there's no need to get any of the earlier episodes because they were weaker. Ahh, but... spread the link! lets get these downloads up..should increase sales for season 2! Spoken like a true marketer. ;) Joe, email support with your order number and I'll refund the extra $5.
	Comment by Emily	November 6, 2007, 6:59 am

	http://www.wiigamer.nl/forum/thread.php?threadid=19011&sid= That's newsspreading :). It's in Dutch, but who cares.
	Comment by Biebboek	November 6, 2007, 7:59 am

	This would be cool except that FILE PLANET UTTERLY UTTERLY SUCKS.
	Comment by John H.	November 6, 2007, 8:49 am

	Wow, now that's just great. Thanks.
	Comment by Naoki	November 6, 2007, 9:48 am

	Fortunately it's also on FileFront, and will probably make its way to Fileshack, etc etc later today. Also we'll be offering a download soon as well.
	Comment by Jake	November 6, 2007, 10:12 am

	WOW, finally people in europe or germany can play this game without a credit card. Thx a lot this is my favourite episode. But I'm still wondering about the weak dollar and the strong euro ;-()
	Comment by steph1800	November 6, 2007, 10:55 am

	You can also use Paypal or a wire transfer to buy from our store, you know. also, the file is now available through our own download provider: http://www.telltalegames.com/download/lincolnmustdie
	Comment by tabacco	November 6, 2007, 11:33 am

	I can't wait for Season 2 already....
	Comment by Tamer	November 6, 2007, 1:32 pm

	I'm getting my friend to download the game!
	Comment by Guybrush Threepwood	November 6, 2007, 1:47 pm

	Great!!!
	Comment by jannar85	November 6, 2007, 2:53 pm

	It's also up on Steam now, for those that would prefer to download it that way.
	Comment by Fausk	November 6, 2007, 5:52 pm

	WHAAATT!!! NO WAY!!! :)
	Comment by Knuckles The Echidna	November 7, 2007, 1:30 pm

	I.........I don't get you guys. You're just so consistently awesome. ...........I think I love you.
	Comment by Pirateguybrush	November 9, 2007, 6:31 am

	What a great chance! A taste of Sam and Max for free! And a price cut on Season 1. That should really jump up possibilities of getting it around here...
	Comment by philken7	November 9, 2007, 7:58 pm

	Just a quick thank you for the free release. I liked it so much I've just put an order in for the box set. I look forward to more good work in the future ;-) Oh, and bring out Brutal Legend for the PC!
	Comment by Martin	November 11, 2007, 12:57 pm

	I've got old demo of S&M: Episode 104. Were can I get activation code to make it for free? It's cheaper for me to bye this game for 10 bucks than downloading new demo... :(
	Comment by Mazayatz	November 13, 2007, 4:33 am

	This was a really clever marketing strategy... hell, it reeled me in. =P Seriously. I had been staring at Sam and Max for awhile, but decided against getting it until I downloaded the free game. Well... then I had to buy the whole Season 1. Too bad I did it on Steam and probably don't qualify for the bonus disc now :( Whatever, Season Two has been purchased! Yay!

	The episode was cool, and a little strange. I will soon open up a live web cam in our company - it will offer some humor and education. We transport cars and you would be surprised at some of the people we transport for.... Celebrities and some very strange beings.... You can soon see live feeds at http://www.car--transport.com hopefully we can broadcast soon, but until then we can rely on these shows! Thanks God Bless!
