Telltale Re-Release More of its Classics with Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventure

Originally released throughout 2009, the Wallace & Gromit re-release is part of Telltale’s strategy to bring many of its “classic” games back online, which includes the reissue of Tales of Monkey Island earlier this summer.

Based on the award-winning Aardman characters, Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures is a point-and-click interactive story series comprising four episodes, each seeing the affable inventor and his loyal dog through madcap exploits full of mishaps and humor.

Episode One, “Fright of the Bumblebees”, follows Wallace and his crafty canine Gromit as they embark on a new honey enterprise. In Episode Two, “The Last Resort”. our twosome brings the beach to their basement with the construction of West Wallaby Waterworld – a makeshift resort complete with sun, sand, and Wallace’s homemade boardwalk attractions.
During Episode Three, “Muzzled!”, Monty Muzzle’s charity fair comes to West Wallaby Street to raise funds to rebuild the local dog shelter, but the chase is on when Mr. Muzzle’s real intentions are revealed.  And Episode Four, “The Boogie Man”, starts with a new lost item Golden Retrieval business venture for our pioneering pair, setting off a search for the missing golf course and property deed, and the imminent destruction of the entire town. Will Wallace and Gromit be able to save the day?

“The classic Telltale titles really set the bar for early narrative games and garnered such loyal followings,” commented Jamie Ottilie, CEO of the new Telltale. “We are continuing our mission to make as many of the classic games available again for fans and, hopefully, a whole new audience while we work on a number of new titles. We’re thrilled to bring Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures back to online stores.”

In addition, Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People is also once again available in online stores. Based on the Strong Bad Emails animated shorts Homestarrunner.com web series created by Mike and Matt Chapman, the five-episode series features the loudmouthed, wrestling-masked Strong Bad, and takes players on a crazy trip through the creative landscape of Free Country, USA.

Each “interactive cartoon” episode includes a point-and-click adventure and a mini arcade game. Originally released during 2008, the series won Editors Choice awards from IGN and GameZone and received recognition in IGN’s “Best of 2008” round-up. Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People is available to download on PC today for $14.99.

Also re-issued today is Telltale Texas Hold’em!, a 3D poker game featuring a virtual personality A.I. system that uniquely captures the interplay between the fully animated characters as much as the card action. With more than 1,800 lines of dialog, Telltale’s inaugural game is available to download now for $4.99 USD.
