<div class="IPBDescription">The Glottis Appreciation Thread</div> Has anyone else played this game?
This is one of the most entertaining games I've ever played. The scenes and artwork for this game are amazing, the music is really catchy, and theres a really well written plot too!
Glottis ownz!

What do you do on it?
It's basically a point and click adventure, but it's really well done. It's solving problems and stuff, but the solutions are often bizarre and require a bit of divergent thinking. It's got a film noir type plot and it's just a massive hoot. The voice actors are brilliant!
I felt quite sad, because I found my Grim Fandango CDs the other week, and I couldn't play it because they were scratched. I don't mind buying it again, it's worth keeping.
'Hey Manny!!'
It is one of my favorite lucas Arts pont and click adventure games (of course, most of them are good). Scaring people in the land of the living is funny.
Some of the dialogue is really funny, in that beat poetry bar, where you can make Manny stand at the microphone and just say really ridiculous stuff.
Man, if they made Grim Fandango 2, I would be the first to buy it.
Maybe someone should mod it? LOL
Incredible game!
Full Throttle 2, and Sam and Max 2, both in production. Sam and Max 2 is official PC version from Lucas Arts, plus the Xbox one from infinite Machine, so there are two of them.
I did prefer the patter between Sam and Max. I think overall though it was the better game.
I'm thinking of paying a visit to the underdogs.org to try to ask them help on how I can get sound for my DOS games, (I use a bootdisk); some of them work perfectly, (Star Control 2 works BETTER than it did on my old computer; then again, I eventually found the zip file had a virus... <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->). Unforutunately, I can't get sound to completely work for more complex DOS games, (Sam & Max only has the midi... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> ); and I haven't finished the game yet.
Stupid onboard sound...
But in terms of artwork, Grim Fandango will forever stand the test of gaming time; Rubecava kicked ****... I wish it was open for tourism... <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
I have played:
Fate of Atlantis, Maniac Mansion 1, 2 (Day of the Tentacle... how great was ths game!?), Sam and Max (yay!), Monkey Island 1, 2, 3, 4, Loom, and a host more of the old ones. I loved LucasArts graphic adventures. I really hope they make more Monkey Islands. And there IS a sequel coming for Sam and Max, both an Xbox action rpg and a Lucasarts Adventure!
Oh, and I just beat PLanetscape:Torment, your avatar made me remember that, great game.
Better question.. anyone else still have the Sam & Max mini-comics that came with some of the old LucasArts games?
Sam and Max on.. the x-bucks. I can't help but shudder, sadly. And hope that the PC version isn't.. well, PC'd away. Part of what made 'em so funny was that they could say d*mn near anything they wanted to, and get away with it. Make all kinds of outre jokes. I have nightmares of yuppies sequestered in a LucasArts meeting room, making jokes about cellphones and coffee.. then totally neglecting the space cockroaches, aftermath of the bigfeet, spontaneous combustion, Stuckey's, the mild toke-jokes hidden here and there.. the stuff that made it stand out.
Please.. PLEASE be intelligent-funny, and not lowest-common-denominator funny! *hopehopehope*

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT &*^@$&*^&*% WORKS!!!
Damn, this has to be on of the coolest projects out there. There's still a whole load of other DOS games that I want to play that this thing probably won't support, and I'm still going to try and make an "ultimate boot disk", but until then, YOU ROCK!
COOL POINTS FOR YOU!
i just hate it that adventure game's replay value drops so drastically when you finish the game... all adv games should have had multiple endings so u can play differently for different ending... woo.
Other than that I don't know what the problem could be. Possibly something to do with your CD drive? In that case either turn DMA on or off..
outta my league, sorry.
