Why Sam?

Croatian developers CroTeam recently released a test version of their over-the-top all-action first person shooter, "Serious Sam", which has been getting rave reviews from fellow developers and gamers alike. But there was always one question - why on Earth did they call it that? Well, now they have explained all...

Originally "it was called "In the Flesh". But, Alen and I both had a vision. This flashy guy from the vision spoke to us and said something like, "Thy game shall be called Sam". We took the message very serious, so the game is now called Serious Sam."
