Grim Fandango was my first Lucas Arts Adventure ever and it's still one of my favourite games.

I've only played the first two Monkey Island games about 2 years ago for the first time, but they were still great, especally MI2. (Even though some of the riddles in that game were ridiculously hard.)

I've only played to Sam & Max Hit the Road. The game was funny, but some of the enigmas were far-fetched and tedious, IMHO.

I also have The Dig and Full Throttle, but I haven't had the opportunity to try them yet.

I hope Residual will be fully operational soon, so I can play to Grim Fandango (it crashes early at the beginning on my computer). However, for the little time I played, I missed the point-and-click gameplay : moving Manny with the arrows is like driving a tank !

I have got Grim Fandango running on my vista computer with no crashes :mrgreen: what you have to do is download the grim fandango patch. Here is a link http://www.grimfandango.net/?page=patch then set the compatibility mode to (windows 98/windows me) then run it as a administrator then you should be good to go. If you have any other questions just ask

I'm using XP SP3. I already did that : it didn't work. The games perfectly works until Manny exits his office. Then the game crashes (back to Windows) and an error message about sound appears.

Try using the grim fandango launcher http://quick.mixnmojo.com/grim-fandango-launcher this helps it run better on vista and XP and it has the option to run it on the hard drive :mrgreen:
