Yeah, I can't wait for the new sam n max game. I miss playing car bomb, whack a rat, or bungie jumping out of the nose of the prez on mt. rushmore.

You know, if you've got the original CD, you can download the SCUMMVM to play it on today's machines.

Whoa. Slacker, are you telling me I can play old games? You mean I can still play Grim Fandango despite now having Windows XP?

Don't toy with me, dude. What is SCUMMVM and will it work for Grim?

Whack a rat was the best game.

Sorry, I was on the laptop while watching movies and didn't want to make noise moving (long story), so I didn't get you a link.

rejoice!!

Compatibility list:

Maniac Mansion
Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Loom
The Secret of Monkey Island
Passport to Adventure
The Secret of Monkey Island
Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's revenge
Indiana Jones 4 and the Fate of Atlantis
Putt-Putt Joins The Parade
Putt-Putt Goes To The Moon
Putt-Putts Fun Pack
Fatty Bears Birthday Surprise
Fatty Bears Fun Pack
Day Of The Tentacle
Sam & Max
Full Throttle
The Dig
Curse of Monkey Island
Beneath a Steel Sky
Broken Sword I
Broken Sword II
Flight of the Amazon Queen
Simon The Sorcerer 1 Talkie
Simon The Sorcerer 2 Talkie

Doesn't look like Grim Fandango made the compatability list, but you can always try it, or suggest it to the group.

Looks like it's compatible with the following OS's:

Windows
Mac OS X
RedHat
BeOS
PalmOS
Solaris
Dreamcast (maybe a boot disk??)
Pocket PC
Xbox (though it's not supported)

Hehe: "Can I keep his head as a souvenir?"

Eddie, Grim Fandango isn't a particularly old game, and is entirely compatible with Windows XP -- speaking here as someone who still has it on his computer. [Smile]

Grim was the first (and I assume last) LucasArts non-SCUMM game. They developed a new quasi-3D perspective, with only keyboard commands, no mouse required.

And yes, GF still works on XP, you just need to check the compatibility mode, I think.

You can also download Beneath a Steel Sky, legally, from the SCUMVM page.

::sigh:: Now if there was only something like that for the Wing Commander games on 2k/XP. I'd love to retire my P166mmx!
