i have been wanting to play this game for so long but i can not find it in any store or online that will ship it to new zealand does anyone have any ideas of what i should do. oh and also id like to say hi as this is my first post in this forum

I don't trust eBay and the like, but they are the only places to get GF;
This seller (http://cgi.ebay.com/Grim-Fandango-Lucasarts-PC-Games_W0QQitemZ8235128785QQcategoryZ62053QQssPageN) ameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) ships worldwide, if not try This (http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?cgiurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2) F&fkr=1&from=R8&satitle=Grim+Fandango&category0=).
As a last resource, perform a search at any of those sites, people are so keen to sell things, that they'll ship to the whole world.

Welcome, I hope you can get the game and join our community.

You can easily get it at Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com), for example.

A quick search at that site brought up interesting results. Does anyone have the strategy guide? According to one reviewer, the walkthrough is written a little like a short story and it has character sketches and puns and all that. I'd love to take a look.

When I first played this game (around 1999), I got stuck on the elevator part so I had to check every strategy guide on the internet, and still I got no result. It was then when I was about to buy the LucasArts Original Strategy Guide, but I finally desisted and left the game unfinished until last year, when I got to know about the patch. Anyway, I'm getting out of subject; now that you mention it, I should have bought it.

hey thanks i will probably get it off amazon but man its expensive i thought it would be cheaper since it is such an old game. i guess its a classic though. sounds kinda strange from someone who has never played it but i really enjoyed the demo

Don't order just yet. It looks like Amazon.co.uk (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005B4P5/qid%3D1132478290/026-7393257-0905217) has a much more reasonable price.

I was not going to order yet. Im broke :D

Who isn't?

HOLY CRAP that was a fast reply
