- threepwood 18y agothis game changed my life
- Tichy 18y agoHow?
- andr 18y agoAh, the one game that should've had a sequel but did not. I would've traded Monkey Island 4 for GF2 gladly. PS The tears of joy box on the very last page was a great touch.
- pogos 18y agoThe best game ever created.
- curiousgeorge 18y agoFantastic game. I actually thought Psychonauts was even better. Tim Schafer is a very rare gem.
- wensing 18y agonostalgiastart I was into Day of the Tentacle and Full Throttle but I never bought GF. /endnostalgia
- alex_c 18y agoDay of the Tentacle was one of favorite adventure games ever, but there was really something special about Grim Fandango. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any other game that combined superb art direction, music, ambiance, story and memorable characters to the same extent as Grim Fandango. I don't think it's too much hyperbole to say that Grim Fandango was the swan song of an entire genre. Now I'm getting sad :(
- delano 18y agoI spent so much time on Maniac Mansion but I never got into Day of The Tentacle (I don't remember why). Was it good?
- kqr2 18y agohttp://www.google.com/products?q=grim+fandango&btnG=Search+Products&hl=en http://www.google.com/products?q=grim+fandango&btnG=Sear... It looks like the game is still selling for $30+ in retail. I thought it would be a lot cheaper by now.
- stillmotion 18y agoI must be apart of the minority, but I still need to play this game. Added to my list of "things to do after I've made bank".
- mattmaroon 18y agoI never played the game, but this design doc is truly fascinating. Def in my top 5 HN finds.
- DarkShikari 18y agoThe good old adventure game genre, seemingly dead today except for perhaps Psychonauts, but the home of so many great games. My favorite is Star Control II; perhaps a bit more action-oriented than a "pure" adventure game, but still in many ways true to the concept. And, like many adventure games, brilliantly hilarious at times (Zoq-Fot-Pik, anyone?)
- shiranaihito 18y agoSCII is legendary! One of my all-time favourites too.
- DarkShikari 18y agoAnd I forgot to mention, for those who don't know already, you can get the game for free for a modern computer as The Ur-Quan Masters ( http://sc2.sourceforge.net/ http://sc2.sourceforge.net/ ), due to the open-sourcing of the original game's code. It runs natively on Windows and Linux (and I assume OS X), and comes complete with all the audio of the 3DO version, too.
- gommm 18y agoI discovered it not much time ago and it resulted in a sleepless night... very good game
- manny 18y agoTHE greatest game ever.
