AUDERE EST FACERE.

Good evening ladies and germs. This is a bit of a begging request. Do any of you lovely people have a copy of Grim Fandango that you wouldnt mind lending me? I've heard so much about the game but never owned a PC to play it on and it sounds like it could be just my cup o cha! (i know its old and the graphics will be dated, but i kinda need a change from the usual fair on the 360) I've had a look on amazon/play and the likes, and the good copies are going for about £20 but im not sure weather they will run on windows 7. I've also looked on Steam, but its not even on there! I would only want to borrow it, and will gladly pay for postage both ways. Also, im not in game of ripping people off, so as soon as i'd finished it or decided i dont like it i will send it straight back. Well thanks for reading chaps, ta ta! |

I wake up in the morning and whack on the sexy cream, and I'm ready to go
;)

OJ I wondered what the hell you were on about, then I went to check it out and I remember playing this from when I was about 10. Confused the hell out of me what I had to do. All I remember is that I had to get a loaf of bread from a market stall then I ended up somewhere in a car park so I just left it :lol: |

I remember it being about, but when it was released in 1997-8, i was too busy partying, going to Spurs, and generally fucking about to play games! Also, i never owned a PC, so that might have something to do with it! So can anyone tell me if this game is all its cracked up to be, or am i filling myself with false hope? |

Only thing I hated about it was I thonk you have to use a joypad. But for these type of games, mouse and keyboard is better. |

Been posted now, at a guess it will with you on Monday. I also slipped in a smaller envelope with the game, so when you're ready to post it back (no rush btw) you can just use that. One small worry is that inside the game case it had a number 3 on it, i think that means how many disc comes with it, but I've only got 2 disc with it. But I've looked all over and can't find a random disc laying around, so I think it is only 2 disc. Edited by Darren, Feb 19 2010, 03:45 PM.

Bollocks! Seems its not compatible with 64bit systems! Anyone know a way round this? Oh, it might be cos im using Windows 7. I'll see if the missus laptop can handle it. Edited by OJ1975, Feb 20 2010, 02:30 PM.
