Grim Fandango Talkthrough

A short talk through a section of Grim Fandango, by Lucasarts, displaying its interface and functionality.

UPDATE

Lots of people out there have been commenting about having trouble running this game in XP. Obviously not everyone is having the same problem, but there are plenty of fixes out there. If you can't install the game, there's an excellent guide on the LucasArts Forum: http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=171217
If you've got the game installed but it won't work properly, there's an excellent fan-made launcher which has some superb features to help: http://www.grimfandango.net/?page=launcher
Grim Fandango has some issues with Multi-core processors or Hyper Threading on P4 CPUs, which can be resolved (in the case of HT) by disabling the feature in the BIOS or (in the case of multi-core) by setting the core affinity with something like ImageCFG.
I hope this helps more of you guys to enjoy this fantastic game, and thanks for all your comments!

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.

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.
