Telltale Games was a video game company that partnered with Videlectrix to produce Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, a game in five episodes, or "actionsodes" in Strong Bad's term, for PC and WiiWare. According to Strong Bad, "Telltale has been rejecting my ideas for green text adventures for years, but we finally reached a compromise with this puffy 3D point-and-click-em-up adventure. They claim all the coding was done with green text, so I guess that's pretty cool."[1]
