I will always have a place for the Secret of Monkey Island series, love the first two games, liked the 3rth one.. not so much the 4th one.

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:
