Bitch. You broke my heart. While searching through my boxes full o' stuff (I had recently moved) I couldn't find my discs of that game. And I have already bought it. TWICE.

Kolzig · 10-10-2005, 03:45 AM

You could like buy it once more man!

smashing · 10-10-2005, 05:06 AM

Cap'n Bogan, Charlie and Manny. Ooh! This is a good scene!

Dark Veil · 10-10-2005, 06:12 AM

Hey Guys! There's this game called "Grim Fandango" by "Lucas Arts".
It's a really good game, does anyone here know of this game?

Fien · 10-10-2005, 06:41 AM

Crook Charlie aka Peter Lorre is one of my favorite GF characters. The way he says "Manny, Manny..." is exactly like good old Peter Lorre would say it.

Charinje · 10-10-2005, 06:47 AM

Cool game! Just to bad that I bought my game in Germany; it's dubbed... I know some German, but I fail to understand all the jokes

Maybe I'll buy it again some day. This time I'll make sure that it is the english version

*Melanie68* · 10-10-2005, 06:51 AM

I've tried getting this on eBay three times and I keep getting outbid. I should just breakdown and get it online at the LucasArts site.

RLacey · 10-10-2005, 09:27 AM

Probably the last adventure released that I can recommend to absolutely anybody.

Wreck · 10-10-2005, 12:25 PM

Back when I was younger, I would push and push just about any adventure game on anybody, but now that I'm older, there are only 2 adventure games in history that I would push and that would be Grim, and Fate of Atlantis. A close third for a suggestion would be KQ6.

10-10-2005, 12:27 PM

I loved Chowchilla Charlie.

pleto4_ryan · 10-10-2005, 01:34 PM

Okay, everyone, let's get out and buy Grim Fandango one more time.

GO!

Maquisard · 10-10-2005, 02:09 PM

Wow, I haven't seen a screen from that game in so long.

I kinda idolized its graphics, and now they look sorta disappointing.

It doesn't help that that screen isn't 3D accelerated. Mind you, there are a lot of games that have dated far worse...

Boneho Chane · 10-10-2005, 06:21 PM

I guess this would be a good time to ask: What's the best place to pick up this game for cheap. Apparently it's rare at the moment and is going for 40$ at amazon. I checked Ebay and they seem to be around the 20-30 $ range, but I would prefer something reliable.

You can get it at the Lucas Arts site for $14.99 (i think). It's obviously going to be a rerelease but it's still reliable. I don't have a link cause I'm having trouble getting to the page.

Edit: Got the link:

Orange Brat · 10-10-2005, 09:26 PM

You can find it on any bargain shelf, in the US, for $10 or less and in a jewel case. At least, you could not very long ago...that's how I got mine.

Look in Target or Wal-Mart - I got my replacement one in Wal-Mart for $10.

My WalMart isn't that kind (I browse there once in a while). I'll have to check Target. Thanks!
