If the Academy Awards opened themselves to video games, Grim Fandango would be looking at a sweep. Best acting: Grim Fandango. Best script: Grim Fandango. Best cinematography: Grim Fandango. The game’s creators wouldn't have to leave the podium.
Still one of my all time favorite games. This is gaming at its finest. Great story/writing, great acting, great graphics and great music. I still can't believe this game was a flop because I always felt that if more games were like this, the genre would have remained popular. Guess not.
i love the scene when he cleans up the bar, the cam moves up ahead and then in the next scene you see what he have done with this dirty lone place and there is a great night-club and he is a raised up gangsta like one in the 20s during the prohibition. i think its in episode 2 or 3 ... damn this game is full of good style !
This was, is and will for a very long time if not forever be one of the best games ever. It was perfect 7/5. You never grow tired of it. Played it years ago but still love it. Thank you Lucas Arts and Tim Schafer. The only thing I didn't like about this game was that there wasn't sequel but I guess here it couldn't be done. After all, one can't improve perfection.
This was a truly amazing game!! I've never played a game with more adventure and heart. The story, characters and locations are awesome! What a journey! They don't make games like this anymore!!
Grim Fandango, possibly the greatest game of all time. Excellent storyline, excellent characters and excellent soundtrack. I hope this is what the afterlife is like. Thank you Lucas Arts.
Dang, I just realised how much I miss this game! I played it with my Dad when I was 5 years old, I loved it when I completed it. Cried at the end with Glottis and the little kids!
Jeez this brings back memories. I completed this about 3 times I loved it that much. The story is so rich and interesting and the characters keep you hooked, one of the best adventure games ever made!
I remember seeing this trailer back in '98. I was excited for this game for months and it's one of the reasons I love games with a deep story so much :)
Love this game. Just listening to tunes like "Hi Tone Fandango" and "Companeros" gives me goosebumps. "My scythe. I like to keep it next to where my heart used to be"
This game brings back good memories. I would want to try it again but the cd broke loong time ago and I doubt any stores sell it anymore even as a classic. The unique style and great nostalgic atmosphere makes this my top 3 games of all time. Wish I could try it once more
this game is cool. feels like a movie and has awesome voice acting. the controls can be kinda slippery and some of the puzzles are sooo specific and ridiculous to figure out, a walkthrough is inevitable. the story is top notch. best "point-click" puzzle adventure type game ever, also one of the hardest.
I love how the trailer plays out like a really well put together movie trailer. You don't ever see that anymore. Of course they'd need a great trailer for this game, it's just too amazing for words.
Dude.. You rule by putting this movie on RUclips.. indeed Grim Fandango is one of the best adventure games ever made.. I love it! And I heard some rumors that Lucasarts is busy making a sequel.. Which rocks as well! But they said the same about sam & max 2 and Full Throttle 2 and look what's become of them.. But hey there will be a new monkey island so there's still a chance! thanks for making my evening
Ah, I love this game. My sister plays it a lot, recently I watched a playthrough of it with my boyfriend. Such a great story, too. Love the voice work.
When I was still fairly young I got this game, was so amazed by it. Too bad I problem solving skills weren't too great at that age and had to use a guide. I played Grim Fandango so much that I still remember all the puzzles, and it's been like 8 years since I last played it! I hope one day I can forget the puzzles so I can play it again, but I don't think that'll happen. Truely a great game that gives you a great feeling, I recommend it to anyone who hasn't played it.
This game has about as many memorable quotes as the movie Casablanca! The diolouge in this game is so great. and the music and atmosphere to. A true masterpiece! Wish LucasArts would make more of these gems of the 90's.
This game is nearly perfect in every way you could think of .. from The Story , dialog , music & humor !!! and even after 12 years there isn't a game thats better than Grim fandango !! and Finally it's one game everyone should play before dying.
But as Manny put it: "You know, sweetheart, if there's one thing I've learned, it's this: Nobody knows what's gonna happen at the end of the line, so you might as well enjoy the trip."
@@davidse4020 They could somehow but it would be a bad idea. They could make one with new characters and a new story (Maybe someone related to Manny) but it wouldn't be the same. I disagree and I believe they did great in not making a sequel about this one. Like compare this with the Monkey Island series that they DID keep making sequels and you see the difference. The story of Monkey Island allowed for sequels but with Grim Fandango it wouldn't be good. Both games simply amazing but Monkey Island is not as good as Grim Fandango and one of the reasons might be because it had too many sequels and kind of lost it's purpose after a while. Of course then again very few games can even COMPARE with Grim Fandango !
***** being 18, on the brink of adulthood i feel slightly appalled at all the nostagia i missed out on compared to you "ancient" people. like we have nothing, a bit of crash bandicoot and thats it
How epic game was it! I remember the first time that I had the opportunity to play. My best friend gave me the game, and I had the best experience that I can ever have from a video game. It's a shame that companies can't produce such a quality at the present time although they have every single possibilities. I don't want them to create games which look like Hollywood blockbusters, I want them to be loyal to the spirit of game.
I am damn so much expecting whether the film of it, because the history and the ambient are worth it, or just the second part. It is a great universe, and it deserves more life to be put into it. And we, the players with a bit of taste, deserve it to
aw, i played the game with my brother when i was a kid. i didn't really get everything but still i like it a lot. it has so much more personality than most games...
I remember watching this vid via a PC Gamer CD years ago (11 years now?!), brilliant stuff. Love how Schaefer has his own style that matches this to Psychonauts to Brutal Legend.
This game feels like playing in a moivie a little bit. This game really is extraordinary and I love it. There aren't many games who beat Grim Fandango.
Wow, I just started playing this game today for the first time ever. I'm not very far yet, up on the roof trying to steal eggs. But so far this game is amazing, shaping up to be one of my favorite games. =D It's really a horrible shame that this game didn't sell well and was considered a commercial failure, all the people who miss out on this game are only hurting themselves, what a masterpiece. They just don't make them like this anymore!
This is one of my loved games, I remember when i was 7 I have played this game and it was really cool for me, and now I played it one more time and I'm really happy xD
Grim Fandango is the ultimate adventure game, amazing story, great characters the type of game that almost makes a guy sad for ending the game... It is a master piece "We may have years, we may have hours, but sooner or later, we push up flowers."... anybody played Flight of the amazon queen, Indiana Jones and The Fate Of Atlantis, or The neverhood? Those were great too.
Played this when I was 4 with my Dad. Played this was I was 13 on my own. I still love this game!! This is my all time favourite game...I actually like this better than "The Sims" :D
I bought this game off ebay after reading about it in an interview with creator Tim Schafer when "Psychonauts" (another great game!) came out. If it was to be done as an animated movie I think it'd make a great stop motion feature!
PLayed this Today, beat it in just about 5 hours. Now i think thats speedy! Honeestly the single greatest game i have ever played, amazing, its just as enthralling 10th time round!
fuck man everytime i watch this i get a nostalgic feeling, its been so LONG since i've last played this. Best story and because of this game, I'VE HAD THE BEST CHILDHOOD EVER!
If the Academy Awards opened themselves to video games, Grim Fandango would be looking at a sweep. Best acting: Grim Fandango. Best script: Grim Fandango. Best cinematography: Grim Fandango. The game’s creators wouldn't have to leave the podium.
We may have years, we may have hours, but sooner or later, we push up flowers.
Hi
Yes hi Membrillo
My favorite videogame ever,R.I.P. LucasArts 1982-2013. 😢♥️
Still one of my all time favorite games. This is gaming at its finest. Great story/writing, great acting, great graphics and great music. I still can't believe this game was a flop because I always felt that if more games were like this, the genre would have remained popular. Guess not.

An incredible masterpiece that everyone should play..
This game changed me. It might have made me who I am. It definitely played a huge role in molding my sense of humor.
Best game ever!
Good to know your inspiration came from the right place.
Love this game for it's humor, puzzles, story and characters
It made me too.
@@JO-bz4kc Wow youre disgusting.
0:30 I certainly don't remember that shot in the final game. Probably made just to have a crowd shot in the trailer.
This was, is and will for a very long time if not forever be one of the best games ever.
It was perfect 7/5.
You never grow tired of it. Played it years ago but still love it.
Thank you Lucas Arts and Tim Schafer.
The only thing I didn't like about this game was that there wasn't sequel but I guess here it couldn't be done.
After all, one can't improve perfection.
The game no one wanted but everyone needed
This was a truly amazing game!! I've never played a game with more adventure and heart. The story, characters and locations are awesome! What a journey! They don't make games like this anymore!!
I can't believe this game turns 20 this year
Grim Fandango, possibly the greatest game of all time. Excellent storyline, excellent characters and excellent soundtrack. I hope this is what the afterlife is like. Thank you Lucas Arts.
this game has aged so well in regards to character design and aesthetic
Dang, I just realised how much I miss this game! I played it with my Dad when I was 5 years old, I loved it when I completed it. Cried at the end with Glottis and the little kids!
Jeez this brings back memories. I completed this about 3 times I loved it that much. The story is so rich and interesting and the characters keep you hooked, one of the best adventure games ever made!

Where did you see that trailer in that year, because RUclips doesn't exist yet to watch something thats trending.
Love this game. Just listening to tunes like "Hi Tone Fandango" and "Companeros" gives me goosebumps.
"My scythe. I like to keep it next to where my heart used to be"
Thanks for archiving this!

Perfect game with unforgettable atmosphere and charming music. This game, along with The Longest Journey, is an undisputed masterpiece.
Absolutely superb..
Never before have I played a game with this much character and atmosphere
I've never played a game I've gotten more attached to than Grim Fandango. Not even Monkey Island, and that says a lot :)
Ah, I love this game. My sister plays it a lot, recently I watched a playthrough of it with my boyfriend. Such a great story, too. Love the voice work.

Ah Grim Fandango, a great game in a film noir setting.. The ending brought a tear to my eye too :)
But as Manny put it:
"You know, sweetheart, if there's one thing I've learned, it's this: Nobody knows what's gonna happen at the end of the line, so you might as well enjoy the trip."
One of the best games in history!
Manny was fantastic, a shame they never decided to make a sequel.
How do they can make a sequel of the history ended?
@@davidse4020 They could somehow but it would be a bad idea. They could make one with new characters and a new story (Maybe someone related to Manny) but it wouldn't be the same.

i was a toddler when this came out. i've missed out. i'll be picking it up on ps4 for sure
***** being 18, on the brink of adulthood i feel slightly appalled at all the nostagia i missed out on compared to you "ancient" people. like we have nothing, a bit of crash bandicoot and thats it
Even eleven years after it was first released, the game still looks great. Grim Fandango, the Monkey Island games, and Sam & Max were all classics.
Damn! This video and comment are older than the game was when they were posted!
Amazing how this was the newest of the newest once :)
Even though I think the backgrounds are looking real nice, even for today's standards :)
I love how even the trailer is done noir style.
One of the best games I've ever played.
One of the best game ever, great atmosphere, great story and awesome characters!
From Tim Schafer The Creators Of Psychonauts And Brutal Legend ❤️❤️❤️
Love? Love is for the living.
Epic.

PS4 REMASTER!
I can wait =D
Never played Grim or even know what it is though, lol. Looking forward to it though!
imSulfurate The greatest adventure game ever made. Proper journey, and the type of game you get once every 10 years.
I would Love to try this game
I'm still mad that there was never a sequel. This is by far one of my favorite game
It ended on a good conclusion so a sequel is pretty much unnecessary
@@ahmedbenkhalfallah6502 yeah but still, I want a sequel. And if I'm not mistaken, they promised one but it never came out
I am damn so much expecting whether the film of it, because the history and the ambient are worth it, or just the second part. It is a great universe, and it deserves more life to be put into it. And we, the players with a bit of taste, deserve it to
this is the best adventure game I ever played. beat it 3 times and I always play again. Love
this has to be one of the greatest video game trailers of all time.
aw, i played the game with my brother when i was a kid. i didn't really get everything but still i like it a lot. it has so much more personality than most games...
I remember watching this vid via a PC Gamer CD years ago (11 years now?!), brilliant stuff. Love how Schaefer has his own style that matches this to Psychonauts to Brutal Legend.
i've loved this game... the '30 ambients the musics the story the characters.. everything!!!
this is without doubt the BEST adventure game I ever had the luck to play... good times!
This game feels like playing in a moivie a little bit.
This game really is extraordinary and I love it. There aren't many games who beat Grim Fandango.

This is my favorite game of all time ! Ahh God so many memories...
Truly one of the top best games i've ever played.
A dead, and dieing breed of creative (amazing) and conceptual gaming.
The epitome of class in gaming. No game comes close to Grim Fandango.
One of the best games ever made. Highly original and epic.
Hideously underrated. Possibly my favourite game ever.
I was once a reaper like yourself, Manuel, but then I took an arrow to the patella.
This is how games should be. Pure creativity.
omg... i can't believe i've kept my back turned to this game for so long
HD REMASTERED VERSION IS ALSO COMING OUT FOR PC, MAC AND LINUX JANUARY 2015!!!!!!!
Well, now we miss THE LucasArts... *SIGH*
I'm a fan of GRIM FANDANGO too and I downloaded it a month ago and I won the game four times. It's so cool!!! PS: VIVA LA REVOLUTION
The best adventure game ever.
I miss this game so much... Would love to see a movie remake or something 🤩
I still remember "faites vos jeux, s'íl vous plaît"
I loved this game
Greatest game I have played in my entire 15 years of gaming life.
Grim Fandango is the ultimate adventure game, amazing story, great characters the type of game that almost makes a guy sad for ending the game... It is a master piece "We may have years, we may have hours, but sooner or later, we push up flowers."... anybody played Flight of the amazon queen, Indiana Jones and The Fate Of Atlantis, or The neverhood? Those were great too.
Rest in peace, LucasArts. May Manny find you a spot on the Number Nine.
one of the best games i've ever played!!! i play it every couple of years ( when i forget most of the parts of the game) :DDDD
This is one of the best games of all time
A masterpiece of the Adventure Game genre.
Seriously one of the best games I have ever played, genius!
Played this when I was 4 with my Dad. Played this was I was 13 on my own. I still love this game!! This is my all time favourite game...I actually like this better than "The Sims" :D
I used to watch my cousin play Broken Sword & Monkey Island. He got me hooked.
one of the greatest adventure games of all time.
class game i remember playing nonstop when i had it years ago might invest in it again :)
i got this game when i was about 4 and its been my favorite game since
one of the best games ever, a must play.
Truely one of best games I've ever played!
"Intimidated? Me? But I'm your friend! My name is Manny Calavera, I'm your travel agent."
Brilliant.
I bought this game off ebay after reading about it in an interview with creator Tim Schafer when "Psychonauts" (another great game!) came out. If it was to be done as an animated movie I think it'd make a great stop motion feature!
I absolutely agree. The control method used in Tales of Monkey would do just fine for the re-release of GF.
Hands down, the best game I have ever played.
PLayed this Today, beat it in just about 5 hours. Now i think thats speedy! Honeestly the single greatest game i have ever played, amazing, its just as enthralling 10th time round!
this was the first pc game i ever played.
such an incredible game - oh the memories....
Probably the best game ever. Manny is one of the best game characters ever created.
One of my favourite games.
Man i realy miss this game....i was like 5-6 when i played it
This is my childhood game.
I love it ^.^
This is without a doubt THE best computer game ever made, without hesitation.
The graphics for 6 years ago, are amazing!
Best game ever made, thx for posting
fuck man everytime i watch this i get a nostalgic feeling, its been so LONG since i've last played this. Best story and because of this game, I'VE HAD THE BEST CHILDHOOD EVER!
ROFL "Guess they couldn't save me, huh?"
"No, but there is still a chance you could save me."
Just brilliant!
Can't decide which one I love best Grim Fandango or Star control 2...
