Guess where my username comes from.

Finally got the avatar working?

Yes! The finest of the LucasArts adventure games. Probably the best adventure game ever made.

i had it as a kid and loved the story. and the speed demon was my favorite

Run you pigeons, it's Robert Frost!


PS

Has anybody seen my turkey baster?

So there are fans other me! That's good to know.

Manny Calavera has the coolest personality and the coolest quotes in any adventure game.

"My scythe... I like to keep it next to where my heart used to be."

Classic!

I like how he mixes humor with film noir angst.

"You can't hide from the Grim Reaper. Especially when he's got a gun."

What was your most favorite part in the game? Mine was when Manny was working as a Casino manager in the third stage or something. Boy, did that take a while to get out of there!

But it was quite fun. Especially with no walkthrough or anything of the sort.

That whole casino sequence definitely stands out my memory as the best. It's been such a while since I last played it. I really should play it again one of these days. The part that frustrated me the most was the damn part where you had to jiggle a lock with your scythe. That took me forever to figure out.

I also really liked that Che Guevara type character. I forgot the name but cool character.

Here's some nostalgic treat for you:

I so want to play this again. It's been so many years. Just need to stop posting too much in PPR and maybe I might have enough time to play this through.

I'm going to play it tonight. Time for a replay.

Good for you. Have fun playing it again.

I love that game. Especially Salvador. Viva la revolución!

Damn it didn't go very well. I DL it yesterday but there is a issue with the game on newer systems so I had so patch fix copy paste install crack.. all that stuff. I guess I'll just swing by the store downtown and buy it. Will cost like.... like... a menu at McDonalds.

I played that game as a kid, but it was a pirate copy with a bug in that meant I couldn't complete it.

I love skeletons and Mexican folklore, anyway...and art deco, and 1940s Raymond Chandleriness.

The only thing I didn't love about that game was the controls.

Grim Fandango seems to have quite following. Ironically though, it's the game that gaming industry blamed on killing the adventure game genre because it sold so few copies.
