What our customer's say!

"Still a good game after all these years", This game is still great. The characters, the storyline, and the acting is exactly what I expected it to be coming from the days when LucasArts was GOOD. Overall, still a great game to play for those looking for an adventure game, but wants a good start.

"One of the best!", My son and i played this together when he was still a boy, and it was the most involving and most fun of all the adventure games we played together.And the graphics and small slice of latino life were fabulous, too. Highly recommended for preteens and parents to play together!

"Instant Classic", When I first played this game it was a demo back in 1998, and I was blown away.

I bought this game and played it on my good old Pentium 2 350 MHz and I just loved every minute of it!

I still to this day play it at least twice a year! its a shame that all of the Tim Shaffer games though are very, very, very good don't seem to sell well (Psychonauts is another great game).


"VIVA LA REVOLUTION!", This is the EPITOME of graphic adventures. No other game has even come close to GRIM FANTANGO when it comes to humor (of all shades and shapes), inventiveness, delicious irony, creative graphics and plain good-ol' FUN!!

This is a 10-year old game mind you - yet, it retains its freshness as any true work of art. THIS IS HOW COMPUTER GAMES SHOULD HAVE BEEN - and not the pathetic cookie-cutter products of mega-corporations working in-tandem with GX-card companies...

Your character (hilarious and lovable Manny Calavera) is already...dead when you start. In fact he has been dead for some time, stuck in limbo, trying to pay his way to a better afterlife by selling tickets to other souls on their way to paradise. Guess what: corruption is not limited just to this world. And where there is corruption, there is oppression; and where there is oppression, there is always a revolution brewing...

Realizing he is being duped, Manny reluctantly joins the afterlife underground and takes us in a tour de force of one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL GAME EVER PRODUCED. Immersing noirish atmosphere, detailed art-deco settings, fast Bogartian dialogs - with a subtle ironic frosting.

WARNING: There are known problems with today's faster processors. So, unless you have a really old system running Win98 you will need the WinXP PATCH (otherwise you will not get past the crane scene).

WITH THE HIGHEST RECOMMENDATIONS!!!

"One of a kind game", This is without a doubt one of the best games ever made - adventure or otherwise. It is fun, amusing, original, colorful, and challenging without being annoying. The only games that came close to it may be the Monkey Island series or The Last Express. The game is beautifully designed, with unforgettable characters, amazing landscapes, and reminds me of being inside a really well-written movie. Sadly, LucasArts stopped making games like this, a loss for the world.

"Buenos dias!", I don't go for adventure games, personally. Ninety percent of the time, I prefer shooters. But this one...man, it's so weird, so unique, and so GENIUS through and through, how can you not love it?

Here's the story. Manny Calavera is a low-level salesman trying to earn an honest commission and make a decent day's pay, but it never seems to work out for him. His boss is constantly on his back, he's routinely snaked by a competitor, Domino Hurley, and the right sales never come his way. It's a lousy life to have.

Especially if you're already dead.

That's the twist; Manny, and just about everyone else in the game, is dead. This whole game takes place in the Land of the Dead of Mexican/Aztec folklore, with a strong Art Deco influence, with heavy doses of '30s crime noir thrown in. Everyone in the game is fashioned to look like the sugar skeletons used in Day of the Dead festivals (called 'calaveras'; get it?).

Manny works in the Department of Death, trying to work off his time for his misdeeds when he was alive. He does that by trying to sell 'travel packages' to the recently deceased, so they can make their four-year journey across the Land of the Dead, until they reach the portal leading to the Land of Eternal Rest. The quality of life this person lived determines whether they get to use a car, a luxury liner, or the exclusive No. 9 train, which speeds its passengers there in four minutes, instead of the customary four years.

Unfortunately, the kind of lowlifes who keep coming Manny's way only deserve walking sticks at best, which does absolutely nothing to help Manny work off his time. So, he decides to take matters into his own hands and STEAL the right kind of client.

And that's when he gets in over his head.

The story is pure crime noir with a technicolor twist, like Raymond Chandler meets Tim Burton. The plot Manny uncovers is convoluted, brilliant, deeply twisted, and diabolical like you've never imagined possible. It's also incredibly, unspeakably funny. Tim Schaefer is one absurd individual, make no mistake.

Yes, it's an old game, I know. But the true classics know no age, and this is a classic all right. So take advantage of the price, snap it up, and book a trip with your new favorite travel agent. He's waiting for you...

"Casablanca With an Art Deco Aztec Twist", Grim Fandango has a very retro feel, sort of like Casablanca with an Art Deco Aztec twist. The game centers around Manny Calavera who is attempting to stay honest and make sense out of a Hispanic day of the dead afterlife which has been corrupted by those who control that afterlife for their own gain. All while Manny pursues the love of his afterlife! Confused? Trust me, it will all make sense once you start playing and the dialog and graphics will impress you and keep you hooked. I've tried a lot of the adventure games and they all have their flaws. But Grim Fandango comes as close to perfect as any game ever will. The controls are a little irritating but not as much as some newer games. This is the best adventure game out there and I strongly recommend that you try it.

"Still One Of The Best Games Ever", This is one of those games where you wish you could actually *be* in the game as one of the characters. I still load it up and play it again every few months; and I first played it several years ago. The storyline is one of the best, the voice-acting is perfect, the concept is fresh and original, and the graphics are still quite good even for being several years old. I keep hoping there'll be a sequel or movie made of this game; but I don't know how it could be done and retain the charm this game has. It takes a long time to play, but you never get tired or bored--the story is so engaging and the characters so interesting that you keep wanting to see what's going to happen next. The first time I completed this game, I just sat back silently for a couple of minutes, then said "D**n...this game is going to be a Classic!". Oh, and the music is GREAT. If you want to play a game that will honestly entertain, surprise and delight you, look no further.

And if anyone that worked on this game reads this, KUDOS TO YOU--I hope life entertains and satifies you as much as the joy of experiencing this game brings to me. Thank you.

"wonderful, my favorite game ever", I have played this game again and gain and again. it has an wit and humor about ti that makes you laugh along with wonderful charecters and a diverse and suprising story line. puzzles are moderate in hardness and the whole thing is like a movie. I felt my self saying aww in dissapointment when it was over. (i wanted to keep playing!) I LOVE this game.

"A modern classic... essential for Quest lovers", Such a shame, they just don't make games like this anymore... In what is probably their last classic adventure game, LucasArts returned to the things that made Day Of The Tentacle, Sam & Max and Monkey Island - the games I loved so much as a kid - unforgettable classics. Grim Fandango is a fun game with a good story, hilerious dialogue and extremely lovable characters. The graphics and gameplay are of course modern (though the four year old graphics look outdated in today's standards, it's still great and a perfect look for the game) but the rest of it is completely in the style of these great oldies. The gameplay and interface - strictly keyboard-oriented - may take a few minutes getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, it's just as comfortable as the mouse control of Sam & Max. The game is meant mainly for young adults - the humor is sophisticated, and the puzzles are much more difficult than those in the classic LucasArts adventures (but not so difficult as to become frustrating). If you loved those games when you were younger, then Grim Fandango is a must-have.
