  • i used to be a reaper like you manwell, but then i took a sythe to the knee bone

  • The last of the great LucasArts Adventures without any doubt

  • i must say this is probably the best game i have ever played, even better than pokemon or final fantasy.

  • I got a problem with the game I have. I am in year one and must retrieve the suitcase, but the lift I need to stop to get to the room is going way too fast for me to get the lift into it. Can anyone help? I really want to advance the game, but this obstacle is really in the way.

  • @TwoFacedKid4

    you need patch to slow it down the elavator is to fast now in xp or vista

  • Clearly the best game EVER created in the whole wide world!

  • I have a question. Would this game be compatable with my Toshiba laptop? It runs on Windows Vista and can at least play The Sims 3. Can anyone clarify this for me?

  • @TwoFacedKid4 try play this game with the game interpreter "residual"

  • @quetegedi What does that mean?

  • @quetegedi Excuse me. I asked what that game interpreter residual was. What is it?

  • @TwoFacedKid4 google it:

    "What Is Residual?

    Residual is a cross-platform 3D game interpreter which allows you to play LucasArts' LUA-based 3D adventures: Grim Fandango and Escape from Monkey Island, provided you already have their data files. Residual just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!"

  • @quetegedi I don't mean to pester, but how would you find and upload this device. Feel free to say no, but I could use a hand on this.

  • @TwoFacedKid4 ---> residual(dot)sourceforge(dot)n­et

  • @quetegedi Say, could you help me again? I was playing the game on my Toshiba laptop that runs on Windows Vista and I got to Year 4 of the game, but when I went to put in Disc B, the game crashed. I know you may hate to do this, but you seem to know a lot and seem to be able to help me. How could I fix this? I could give you some laptop info if you need it.

  • Greatest game I have played in my entire 15 years of gaming life.

  • Buenos dias¡¡

  • I don't want people asking me about Grim Fandango!

  • Grim Fandango, possibly the greatest game of all time. Excellent storyline, excellent characters and excellent soundtrack. I hope this is what the afterlife is like. Thank you Lucas Arts.

  • they don't make games like this anymore!

    sure there are impressive stories (bioshock, ekderscrolls etc.) but none has the same feeling.

  • Stunning 3D! lol It`s funny what we thought stunning was back then.

    

  • @WCh3ckm8 you know what's even funnier? "stunning 3D" is now the crappy technology in new TVs. it's already ridiculed. i can't imagine what we'll all be saying 10 years from now haha!

  • best game ever

  • @MsDIMENO no!!! monkey island is the best game!

  • wtf?

  • I wish that lucasarts would make games like this again :(

  • this game is fantastic

  • I still have this game on my shelf, found it on a flee market for 50 cents.

  • I remember seeing this trailer back in '98. I was excited for this game for months and it's one of the reasons I love games with a deep story so much :)

  • great game-it even WORKS IN VISTA if you use the grim launcher (search on google for 'GrimSetup1.0' from quick.mixnmojo website) and official update ('gfupd101' from grimfandango). run launcher, and then install the game as it tells you. then finally copy the patch into the games folder and run it to update game. you wont need the cd after that, just play! switch 3d acceleration on within the games own options for the best gfx. should work in 7 also, but dont quote me on that :)

  • Grim Fandango, Planescape Torment, System Shock 2... WHY ARE YOU NOT ON STEAM D: ???

  • one of the most underestimatet games

  • I played that game

  • the best point and click game ever!! got to buy it again, maybe this time it wont crash :P

  • why isn't this re-released yet?

    Common, Steam. Srsly...

  • Thumbs up if you want this game released on Steam.

  • There's not much to be said apart for the movie based on GF which is arguably the better of the game. at lparchive . org called Grim Fandango the Movie.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Type in Grim Fandango Rare on Ebay . c o m to buy a copy of this game with a design document- Includes puzzles that weren't included in the game and early character sketches-and much more

  • This game is one of the greatet adventure games of all time, up there with monkey island

  • @WasLilChrisnowbigish Totally agree, Monkey Island is epic.

  • I loved this game

  • man i have played so many games , and I can say that this one is really the best of them all( i am talking about atleast 100+ games ive played)

  • there is no game that i have played to date that is better than grim fandango, the way you feel like a character in a movie while playing is incredible

  • Truely one of best games I've ever played!

  • was there no sequal to this game? Or at least another point and click adventure made by the same team.

  • @daikath There are many point and click adventures by Lucas Arts... Most notably Monkey Island series.

    But I think you enjoy the SCUMM game engine, which most of these games are created with.

    Search LucasArts adventure games on wikipedia for a list of games! =)

  • oh, Lucasarts. what happened to you? you and Disney.

  • this has to be one of the greatest video game trailers of all time.

  • fuck yeah mexican skeletons

  • They should make a movie of this game!

  • @EarlyHardcoreCD tim burton was asked or something, but he didn't think he could do the game just. I don't think anyone could.

  • It would be interesting if they remade the game in 2D, Curse Of Monkey Island style.

  • how can they kill a dead person?

  • @JmanRomania

    By shooting flowers to them : germinating (I hope it is the right word) the bones in a painfull second death. That's why you can see the two corpses in the morgue with a lot of flowers. And that's also why there is no living vegetation in the land of the dead.

    Hope you will forgive my poor english ;)

  • how can they kill someone who's dead?

  • Grim Fandango Remake Second Life

    Hiii theree. Let me introduce myself, Iam gali, 22 years old from Argentina, and like you, I love Grim Fandango. I am looking for people that can help me to remake in another plataform or game

  • (I handle very well in the world of Second Life, This game is very dinamyc, flexible and easy)

    The art and the design of this game could be done in this game, characters and all the world, whe can make and walk around the buildings (we can make our houses there ^^) , hells, ships, the casino, and all the places of grim fandango.

    If you are interested in help me please add me to MSN : galika@lycos.com

    This is a serious proyect, a hobby, not a job, just fun.

  • Rcokstar's L.A. Noire is inspired from this game.

  • i cant find disc B :(

  • Not picking that up.

  • Check out my rendition of Outlaws & Sam & Max Hit the Road on piano!

  • >A trailer for the great PC game, Grim Fandango.

    "greatest" - fix.

  • in STUNNING 3-D!

  • este juego es impresionante es una RELIQUIA

  • I've been looking for this game for ever! PLEASE! does anyone know where i can download this game for the mac

  • @nukka1212 don't think it will work on the mac mate it was a pc based and had many bugs back in the day so a mac version probably never happened

  • need to make a movie.

  • @TheWizenhymer that would be awesome

  • @TheWizenhymer shut up! don't give uwe boll any ideas!

  • epic game

  • IFLTFG

  • i fucking _LOVE_ this fucking game

  • telltale games has 5 projects in the making and will be announced February 17. could be grim fandago, i mean, theres a possibility...or at least one of them will be lucasarts related!

  • why is Lucasarts wasting a lot of money on Star Wars games, when they can make more EPIC adventure/puzzle games like Grim Fandango?

  • @HalvLion The Star Wars games make money. As much as critics and people like myself loved Grim Fandango, I don't believe it was a financial success.

    Pirating and various other things keep companies from taking risks too.

  • @Atradaitoshi yeah, but still. Wish that lucasarts made more games like this one :)

  • what is this, i dont even

  • lol, i love the STUNNING 3D GRAPHICS!

  • @Menokokoro at the time they were actually stunning...

  • @duhmzdaih Oh I know, that was kinda my point, they were top of the line, and now its like...what?

  • híjole XD

  • Can Someone Tell me what Manuel says at 0:50 ?!

    "-something- I'm gonna miss the poisoning!"

    i'm so glad that this game never had a sequel. It had a great story and ended perfectly with no strings left untied. Great great game.

  • @MrDavinsion He said "híjole" which is mexican for some type of "oh, god"

  • @MrDavinsion "¡Hijole!" Difficult to translate to english, but in that context you can say it roughly means "Damn!".

  • 14 people rode the number nine to hell

  • shit trailer great game

  • this and psychonauts.

    tim schafer is pretty much god.

    can't forget monkey island, full throttle, day of the tentacle. all his as well.

  • I just bought this game. I have windows vista, so I downloaded a patch and installer. After successfully installing the game and the latest patch, I still have problems running the game. All it shows is a picture of Manny and Glottis, then it just goes black. Can anyone help me? A reply would be greatly appreciated.

  • @hall9111 Right mouse click on exe, set compatibility mode (Win95/98).

  • @BeconTorpedo Also, on Task manager, set the Grim Fandango.exe priority to LOW.

  • @BeconTorpedo I can't find exe.

  • Just got the torrent. Literally the best adventure iv played since The Longest Journey and Monkey Island.

  • Where can I buy this game?

  • @RonBurgundy161 has it on ebay for about 20.

    and amazon around 35.

    can download somewhere prob.

  • sigge h

  • Why the fuck did I sell this on ebay a few years ago???

  • Something rotten in the land of the Dead

  • "My name is Manny Calavera."

    Damn this line lingered in my head for SO many years.

  • this game would be perfect if it comes with an amnesic pill, so you can play it agan.

  • @Dorniel Oh yes.

  • Comment removed

  • @Dorniel This is one of those games you play like 10 years later, and realize how much you didnt notice about it

  • @TheCryoScales completely agree, i play it every 5 years

  • @Dorniel I play it once every couple of years, the atmosphere in it is great

  • @Dorniel ive played this game 3 times... thats not really a problem, its not really need any amnesic pills :P

    i doubt that after so many years you remember EVERYTHING xD

  • @Dorniel Im going to play it again soon and the last time i played it has been 10 years ago. So ive forgotten a lot about it, woo!

  • @daikath Enjoy man!

  • @Dorniel actualy if you too that pill you woudnt know how great it was and might never play it.

  • @lightsaber609 hmmmm... true, i have to remember to let a letter to myself

  • @Dorniel I want to play this game but i have Windows 7..What to do?

  • @MrBruno2000 I can play it with 7 no problem!

  • @Grimmjowespada Could you explain to me how?

  • @MrBruno2000 Just install the game and download the patch, install it and enable 3d accelerator in game menu, works fine for me

  • Used to play this game all the time,

    Can't remember a lot, but the video jogged my memory!

  • Was always weird that i had a crush on Manny

  • @rustedrainbow

    well he does have the most macho voice on the planet.

  • @rustedrainbow Thank god, I thought I was the only one. :S

  • Oh Em Gee! I was OBSESSED with this game back in the day. I missed a lot of classes at uni to play grim fandango. Anyone else still freaked out by the sea monsters? YIKES!

  • Woww! Good Times... sniff...

  • I have the Cd is epic

  • Everyone who smokes in this game is dead. Think about it.

  • @Truthfulpietro

    There's a fact just for you courtesy of Bill Hicks:

    Non-smokers die...

    EVERYDAY!

  • @diego91090

    What I said is actually on the back of the box of the game.

  • @Truthfulpietro HAAHAHAHAHAA, soooo true!!!

  • @Truthfulpietro Yes, they don't have to worry about cancer

  • @Truthfulpietro You nicked that from the manual.

  • @tombud10 Indeed, it is from the manual.

  • First game I've played entirely on PC, good times :')

  • THIS GAME ROCK! IT FUCKING ROCKS!

  • i just love lucas arts puzzel games...today is all about killing people or scoring a goal,but back in `90 thinking over to reach the end was allmost perfected.lucas arts has remastered monkey islands games maybe they will this one too

  • Is a main character sounds like, ummm....Al Pachino?

  • @Xerox170 it's Tony Plana

  • @Xerox170 I'm pretty sure I remember it saying it was George Lopez when I had this game.

  • @TheFreeMMOReviewer  Cool!!! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

  • MENI KALAVERA!!!!!!!! :DDDDDDDDDDDDD

  • @XThePictureGuyX How on earth did you ever come up with that spelling?

  • @rustedrainbow You mean the name? I was still a child :3

    look on my channel the "about me" info...

  • Where is the ''Love it'' button when u need it

    epic game

  • Is it OK that I call my girlfriend Meche cuz of this?

  • @ SPeacock

    Im not really that experienced when it comes to computers...so could you explain? Im sorry haha.

  • HAH! I JUST FOUND MY INSTALL DISC!

    Oh yeah, gonna be a fun time tonight.

  • @Nephus

    lucky u. my family lost  one of the discs, and i can never play it again. unless i get a credit card for an overpriced copy on ebay.

  • @rebelanarch

    just download it.

    Since you owned the original version, you're not committing any crime.

  • @ultravincent

    thought about it. but it is a multi CDROM game and my ADSL connection's not fast enough for that kinda file sizes. servers alway time out on me.

  • one of the greatest game ever made :D

  • perfect trailer for perfect game

  • Ok I have a 64 bit Dell laptop. I just bought GF. Ive tried everything from patches to compat mode. Any suggestions? PLEASE HELP!

  • @MisterWordman

    Dual Boot with 32bit XP??

  • @MisterWordman Install Microsoft Virtual PC and then install a virtual machine housing an older Windows OS (95, 98 or 98 Second Edition are ideal). :)

  • @MisterWordman

    see if you can partition the HD and install Win 98 on it. Win 98 works well with games of that era and even some DOS games.

    Installing Microsoft Virtual PC is much easier but if i'm not wrong, that software costs money. but it's VERY easy to use, so stop whining like an idiot if you're willing to throw money at the problem. just read the instructions or the help files damnit.

  • Love this game. Just listening to tunes like "Hi Tone Fandango" and "Companeros" gives me goosebumps.

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

  • too bad at the time of release, people who play games were obsessed with SHooters! Graphics! Gameplay Mechanics! and FAST PACED ACTION! in favor of story, great character development and great music... - what am i saying? people are still the same today. guess grim fandango will continue to remain as an undiscovered gem to most people.

  • I just bought a new Dell laptop and this game on eBay. It'll work right?

  • @MisterWordman it should definitely work, try running it with administrator privalages as XP or 98 (vista and windows 7 simulate the system)

  • Recognized as the first one featuring a great score (music track) that actually enhances gameplay. (Can you imagine this game without--or even with different--music?)

  • the guys who created this game deserve a friggin medal. for grim fandango and full throttle. 2 best games ever.

  • Listen up console kids, you don't even know you're born.....Halo, COD, Guitar Hero, you can shove them where the sun don't shine. THIS is simply one of the best games ever made, and none of you have even heard of it. Tragic.

  • @tombud10

    oh yeah, halo and gh are shit compared to this. but the console age also spawned bioshock, psychonauts, ico, mgs, mass effect, and so on.

  • i hope they make grim fandango 2 :D

  • Where can I download it?

  • @casperado666 What?

  • @MrSomonestolemyname the pirate bay

  • @casperado666 Oh. You know any version that works whitout a lot of

    mixing around with the computer?

  • @MrSomonestolemyname i played it on xp and only needed the daemon tools for mounting of the cd. other than that you don't have to do anything. just download the one torrent with 100+ seeders. that should be fine

  • @casperado666 Think it will work on Vista?

    By the way (excuse my noobines) whats "daemon tools for mounting of the cd"?

  • @MrSomonestolemyname Hmmm. I'm not aware if it works on Vista. Just go to thepiratebay -> search Grim Fandango -> there will be multiple torrents, but only one with more than 100 seeds, i guess it's the best one (unfortunately, i don't remember which torrent i used, prbbly that one). And look through the comments underneath the torrent, many people post their problems and solutions in the comment section, but try to install the game alone at first, maybe it'll work without any extras.

  • @MrSomonestolemyname The files you'll download will be CD-images (Virtual-CDs), to open them you'll need a program - I use freeware Daemon-tools (lite-Version), but there are many others. As soon as you install the prog an emblem of daemon tools will appear in the lower right corner of your screen -> double click -> "Add images" (a button with a green plus and a CD on it) -> find your 1st grim fandango CD -> "open" -> highlight it in the list -> "mount" (button with a CD and play-sign).That's it

  • @casperado666 Thanks. I fix that tomorrow. I tell you if mess something up.

    Thanks for your help.

  • @MrSomonestolemyname I've just ended the game today. First started it 11 years ago but it was too hard foor me at that time. It's really a great fun, but i had to use walkthrough's at some places.

    Well hope i cleared it up a bit for you! Have fun!

  • @casperado666 I probaly will. Thanks again.

  • This game is nearly perfect in every way you could think of .. from The Story , dialog , music & humor !!! and even after 12 years there isn't a game thats better than Grim fandango !! and Finally it's one game everyone should play before dying.
