Certainly not Olivia. Femme fatales aren't good for much more than a roll in the hay - that's what they're designed for. Now Meche I'd like to bring home to mom. If I were a girl, Salvador would probably steal my heart....  [Read More]

This isn't directly related to Grim Fandango, but I've always wondered what he studied at Berkeley and how he got his big break as game designer at LucasArts....  [Read More]

I don't think the jewel case has the little instruction booklet. You could grab it from this link (http://www.replacementdocs.com/docs/PC/Grim%20Fandango%20-%20Manual.pdf) if you like (3.6 MB)...  [Read More]

The gameplay (keyboard controls, 3D environment) is the same as EMI, but the storyline is simply the best, the cutscenes have the power to rival the best films and the characters and dialogue are the most memorable I've ever seen in a game or movie....  [Read More]

All the transition scenes between the years are truly fantastic. It takes my breath away to watch the camera rising into the sky, which then changes from day to night (or vice versa), seeing the yellow letters appear and then the drop down on the sam...  [Read More]

Good one, Samnmax, I'll get around to watching that. Cat People and the Birds were two other movies that made me think of GF, if only because of the obvious fascination with the animals. Nothing outside of that, though....  [Read More]

Well, Tim Schafer has openly acknowledged the influence of the old film noir movies in his work (most references of which I took from, the Third Man being considrered one of the best noir, so surely Tim's seen it) and I'm willing to bet he's seen ple...  [Read More]

There have been a few posts on this topic, but scattered among different threads. Here's my take ... I've added a few more (again!), check them out. In bold are movies acknowledged as influences by the man himself. The list includes references to Ba...  [Read More]

Lucasarts really needs to do an "Art of" book, similar to what Pixar has done with their movies. I would love to see prints of Grim Fandango concept art and quality anti-aliased final renders. I'm sure there are people who would pay more fo...  [Read More]
