Grim Fandango Talkthrough

[RandomHero565]

[Argooh]

Manny Calaveras voice actor is in Ugly Betty these days.. random bit of triva there.

[chiefslime51]

whenever i walk around manny's shadow leaves a trail, does anyone else have this problem, any way i can fix it?

[Rev0lver89]

this game looks amazin ive wanted to play it for ages but it costs like £15 on ebay, il wait and hope i see it for a bargain

[OoEkkusu]

Wow! I'd heard a lot about this game... It's remind me a lot the old Alone in the Dark. I think I'll try this game... looks so cool. =)

[TheOnlyVansboy]

is this working on windoms xp? i rly want this game....

[RandomHero565]

Ye\ah it dus work on XP, when you buy it and install it, right clik on the desktop icon, go on properties and then compatible, select 95

[UltimateVenom]

does it work on XP?

[seany189]

i am playing his game again and i cant get in the forklift truck fast enouth to jam the lift door can any one help please thanks

[cpj93070]

yeah dude i had this proplem as well its with us having fast systems u need something from the internet to download called cpukiller 3 which just slows down ur game speed to what ever u want it to be so just install that get to the bit where ur stuck and it should work.

[thetombstone]

Are you continuing going forward as the lift's moving? You have to have the spokes down and keep going forward in the correct position.

[eamonnthegr8]

the game is gr8 but some of the things u have to do to complete an objective are just stupid things that most people would never think of like putting a balloon shaped like a cat in a bowl with bread for the pigeons. GR8 GAME BUT STUPID IN PARTS

[yotornadoyo]

You mean YOU, not most people. Didn't it feel good when you finally found out what to do?

[wingerwanger]

How do you move him around,

via arrow keys ?

Or do you use the mouse?

[DOTgeek]

The arrow keys. the controls are listed if you hit F1 in-game.

[favorite40]

Does it work on windows vista??

[eojdrol]

Yeah... just installed it =]

[DOTgeek]

the game works on Windows Vista if:

*The patch is downloaded and installed;

*It is run as administrator;

*Compatibility settings are set to Windows 98, Me.

[exmortis]

Exactly. I just played through it on Vista, and using all of the settings mentioned above, it runs perfectly.

To anyone considering whether or not to take the time to play Grim Fandango, let this be strong encouragement: it is the best adventure game you'll ever play.

[P00P00Head]

Possibly the most sophisticated game of all time.

[Mrster]

Hahahah it's Jack Nicholson who makes the balloon sculptures!

[Me7roiD]

My favourite game of all times.

"They don't make em like this anymore." - unfortunately :(

[kikosan2]

i love this game its funny in some parts ^_^

[HUNDOLOS]

It's funny in most parts, actually :P

[1130210]

really hard game! Doesn't really explain itself very good.

[malfunit]

I love to make a fool of myself; especially with Eva and the clown.

[vicaroffattytown]

wicked game gourgeous voive as well youtube stranger

[rustyleroo]

Run you pigeons, it's Robert Frost!

[scrumpled]

you've got a nice narrating voice lol

[VicktorDog]

Great game got it yesterday, it sucks how it doesnt work 100% correct with XP. Its amazing how cutscene sound jitters and lags can make you stop from enjoying such a bizzare game

[JasonNTheArgonauts]

You have to download the grim fandango patch.

[piluttapajo]

What patch is that?

It dosent work on my pc and i have XP

[clayboi7]

If you haven't tried already, be sure to install the patch and turn off hyper-threading if you have a fast PC! It's possible to play this game on XP without problems.

[russell19831983]

i played the demo ages ago and years later i still remembered it and bought it. Strange that, as it must of been ten years before i bought it that i played the demo

[russell19831983]

whats the best program to record this game? the sound is strange when i use fraps, anyone have any suggestions?

[fabioproductions]

i never played this game but its driving me crazy i wanna play it

[manchestercityx]

They should put this on the Wii.

[regenschirm93]

Love this game! Really imaginative, funny and really generally brilliant!

[dknott87]

You have a really good narrator voice. Great job!

I've heard such great things about this game, I've got to find a way to get it somehow. I'll try eBay.

[Hohlmackenreiter]

Best LucasArts game ever!

Tim Schafer rules!

[onomix99]

Can you save at this game ? Tell me how, and how do you run ?

[ccm404sam]

he's the quiet patron on mi3

[SeanLFC12]

04:40 Jack Nicholson?

[DOTgeek]

Yeah, my mind went completely blank :D

[cursedreject]

seriously this game has so much to offer. a job well done to schafer for his stab at a 3-d game. the game is wacky and addicting and without a doubt challenging. the whole movie feel was great and the cutscenes were awesome.

[OhSeamus]

rofl, I love how the guy jumps back into the window twice, when he tries to go down the rope XDDDDDDD

[Sjoerd2212]

takes me back in time by seeing this :)

[EatsChocolate]

The only game that's come out since that is this... Unique and qoutable is portal, in my opinion. Even then, though, that's more about GlaDoS's weirdness rather than personality.

[spliffzhappen2tex]

y wud there be a Grim Fandango sequel?? the ending already happened lol :D. . .

[KeVlarTheMighty]

best game ever made. period.

alas there was an ending...

but what if? ... a sequel? a prequel?...

*sigh* I loved this story so much! i still do today!!

[Imij11]

Are all the cameras for the game set up like this?

[AtomixIGN]

Any of you guys play Zack and Wiki for the Wii?

[Goddafodda]

OMG, I need this game now! It looks so interesting.

[doogleisfat]

It is the greatest game i have ever played.

[eggs07]

I certainly rank it as my favorite game of all time.

[abs1abs]

I loved it too,but Sanitarium is best to me.If u didnt play Sanitarium give it a try.

[MattNFL]

this game I have it it is so fun it is so spooky to the music makes it all like ya and them getting sprouted and u need to find out mistorys nice film

[TheCoffeeGrind]

I agree about his voice. I think Tony Plata did wonderfully.

[Shipgate]

Ah, memories! They don't make games like this anymore. Puzzle solving games are totally underrated now.

[BimboBaggins]

It's an adventure game, it's very different from a puzzle game. Still, you're right.  Nothing has come close to topping these old adventure games.

[Goddafodda]

But there has been rumours that a Monkey Island 5 will be released...

[doogleisfat]

And there are rumours of a Grim Fandango 2! w00t

[dadestor]

where?? gimme the link

[horni666]

cooooooooool !!!

[TheCoffeeGrind]

Ah, Grim Fandango. Classic. Beautiful artwork and great story line. A great game today, even.

[SunnyCool]

I would totally love to play this game again... Only played the demo that came with a gaming mag back at the time :S

[roisincasey]

Same here!

[karrochan83]

I loved the way Manny STARED at everything you were supposed to examine. =) Almost twisted his head off...

[uros643]

I haven't gotten far enough to find out, but... is the Robert Frost balloon actually used for anything?

[DOTgeek]

he he he... yes, you need him to scare some pigeons.

[Ultracluster]

nice, good idea! :) 5 stars!!

[NathanBall18]

the games amazing

[giantpedro]

amazing game.. I started playing when I haven't learned english yet but the CD accidentally broke.. I gotta find a new one, my favorite video game music of aaaaaaallllllllll time

[HUNDOLOS]

One of the best, if not the best adventure game ever! Those days you had to come up with a real story...

[MinotauroNog]

Yeah no kidding, it's just odd to me that an old ass game like this can be better than anything out now. I was playing Thief 1/2 the other day, blows the modern fps away, I miss the old games, people actually put substance into them.

[brandon9271]

yeah.. I miss the old Lucas and Sierra games. Back then gameplay and story was the focus. now that seems to take a back seat to graphics these days. Keep an eye out for 'A Vampyre Story'.. "Its the brainchild of former LucasArts employee Bill Tiller"

[reapermaycry]

this is my favorite game . i was met with this game when i was a child and i couldnt pass the missions but when i grew up i realized that this game is very exciting. :D

[Hepathos]

Looks like a beta. Or back then, they had weaker PC-s. Still, the game is so cool

[daphoebster]

fantastic game the best ever. The voice of Manny is by Tony plana who plays betty's father in the US hit Ugly Betty
