Eurogamer this morning have done a retrospective on Grim Fandango, their look back at older games every Sunday are pretty good :

Just bought Grim Fandango on ebay for $28. Now, what do I need to do to get the game to run on Windows 7 64-bit?

nothing you are out of luck.

well actually when you bother to read some previous posts i already explained how. else vmware

Oh... oops. Sorry for my completely pointless post then.I guess I'm just a bit excited to get the game.

You know, I think I owe a few games here if anyone wants to claim their sponsorship prize.

I'll sponsor any new entrants under the same terms (GOG below $10 for 3 months avatar use). It must be either Mercedes, or I'll have to approve its addition to the list though.

Ooh, I love Grim Fandango, and would very much like to get in on this. Could I use this shot of Bowlsley? http://dod.dotagame.com/media/graphics/bowlsley_100.gif

Well, that's Meche taken.
The botanist turned weaponsmith. Yes you can.

Done and glad to spread the love. :)

Can I join the family? :)

Forgotten about this thread, I will be keeping Celso if thats ok for a few month more at least. Not wanting anything for using a Grim Fandango avatar, just hope they finally bring a definative version to GOG with loads of extras at somepoint.

Maximino, very welcome.

What do you think of Chepito?

But it seems there's no face image of Chepito.

I like the character, but we'll need some kind of face image. Or at least something a little more identifiable.

Great! Thanks! I've never played Grim Fandango but I always wanted to :)

Can I join, and use Nick (Nick Virago), maybe?
