Something's rotten in the Land of Dead and you're being played for a sucker. Meet Manny Calavera, travel agent at the Department of Death. He sells luxury packages to souls on their four-year journey to eternal rest. But there's trouble in paradise. Help Manny untangle himself from a
conspiracy that threatens his very salvation.

It's one of the Lucasarts's first games.
I highly advice you guys to play this Adventure game. It's hand down the best Adventure game I played in my short life.

It's also designed by Tim Schafer, creator of Full Throttle and Day of the Tentacle. As we all know that Day of the Tentacle rocked why not try Grim Fandango? :glad:

Bought that game back in '98 and I've played through it more times than I can count. Best adventure game ever.

Viva la revolut?on!

Yeah I played it when it came out.

Kinda outdated now.

Also...

Erm...Lucas Arts started releasing games in 1982. They released many other games before this one in 1998.

I'm not good with lucasarts's previous games. So I said that without being sure.
Kinda outdated now.
Ofcourse it is but...so what? That doesnt mean I wont be playing.

Yea, totally I forgot about monkey island 2. But still I think Grim Fandango is better.

Monkey Island FTW!!

Looks very Tim Burtony, but I'll check it out since you guys say it's so good. :)

Is this one of those games that's like the best thing you'll ever play but nobody has ever heard about it?

Looks very Tim Burtony
I see your point, they actually do look like something he would come up with. But the plot is far more serious than any Burton movie. :)

Man, I'm really pimpin' this game, but it's so darn good. Everyone should try it at least, especially those who are into film noir and stuff like that.

I feel stupid for having never played this or Sam & Max (and i've heard great things about them). One day I'll be sure to get them... one day.
