I've been playing games for about 20 years now, and over all this time, I've never been so enamored with a game as I am with Grim Fandango. I remember downloading the demo for this game on my 28.8K connection, hoping against hope that my Pentium 90 Dell computer would run it (barely, by the way). Even in the beginning, trying to get those damn birds off the roof top with just some pan de muerto and a balloon animal, the game was magical. The characters are real; they breath, cry, and laugh, in such an amazingly human, familiar way. You actually care about them, honestly. That is an incredibly rare quality in a game. The art design, the music, and especially (ah) the plot, are absolutely top notch. This isn't a game; it's a work of art, it's a play, it's literature. And the biggest testament to its greatness is that when it was over, I was profoundly sad. I often wish we could erase selective parts of our memories, to experience the joy or sadness of something for the first time, fresh. Grim Fandango would be first on the list to be erased. Find a computer that will run the game (it should run on XP, but don't quote me on that), and play it. They don't make them like this anymore!
