If you guys want a no-CD crack for the game that's fine, but please don't post a link to one on the forum - it's too much of a legal issue sadly. PMs should be okay though, between people who own the game :)...  [Read More]

The game's also on eBay, although slightly more expensive than in stores. I'm really annoyed that Activision didn't send us a review copy of this, especially as LucasArts wanted to use a quote from the Mojo review in their marketing materials. Anyway...  [Read More]

To confirm, then, the Entertainment Pack version of Grim Fandango is the same as the original release. Sorry for getting anyone's hopes up! :(...  [Read More]

I can with 99.9% certainty gurantee that there does not exist an executable for Grim Fandango in english that is updated for modern hardware or software:P You're almost certainly correct, the more I think about it. The updates were all to the SCUMM g...  [Read More]

There is a Windows XP executable, I think. It may be different to the original - for the Entertainment Pack re-releases (in Europe circa early 2000s) optional smoothing a la ScummVM was added to The Dig, Sam and Max, and Full Throttle. I'll dig it ou...  [Read More]

I think it was proposed at LucasArts/LucasFilm around the time of CMI. There's some concept art for it on Steve Purcell's blog here (http://spudvisionblog.blogspot.com/search?q=pirate) - I can't remember exactly why it never got made though, but it n...  [Read More]

It's possible to run the VGA version in EGA mode I believe (possibly with the exception of the CD version, unless I just imagined that.) In ScummVM you can go into 'edit game' and change the graphics from 'default' to 'EGA' (or whatever else you want...  [Read More]

I'd love to a hold of the EGA version. Do you still have the same "sunset" background later in the game (like when you're watching the boat with Stan?). Start of game: http://lucastones.mixnmojo.com/sunset.jpg After a short while: http:...  [Read More]

You've made a powerful argument! I hadn't considered the factor of the Atlantic being to the east. But I'm still not convinced that, for this particular island, building the harbour in the cove isn't the right thing to do. Obviously the Caribbean get...  [Read More]

In the summer, especially without light pollution, and with a clear line to the horizon, it's not so crazy that you would still see sunlight in the distance at 10pm. The water you're looking over in that shot is also technically pointing west, which...  [Read More]

Mine clocked in at 71Gb, but I have two 500Gb HDs so that doesn't eat up too much space. 15Gb of that is unsorted downloads - I like to listen to old underground psychedelic punk from the 80s; you can't buy much of it (vinyl on eBay and the like asid...  [Read More]

Using LeChuck for MI2 is a good idea, not sure why I didn't do that. But I've not been doing any work on this for - well, years I suppose. I might go back to it at some point, but there are better people than me who could give it a try ;) If I did g...  [Read More]

I've been looking into the problem with the back panels. I think it'll be at least possible to re-create some of them in a thinner DVD-case size. Some of the games will be easier than others - these are the ones I think I'll be able to do, anyway: M...  [Read More]

Moving the LucasArts/headshots a little is something I've played around with, and then forgotten about. You're right that they would look better given a slight border with the top/bottom, I'll move them around when I solve the problem of getting a de...  [Read More]
