Sadly I lent the game away long ago - I've just been remembering lately how damn great it was. One of the first games I ever finished I think.

i miss these games...this game the most...probably my favorite game of all time.

I beat this game in like 4 hours recently.

Was this game just incredibly short, or were all SCUMM games like this?

I remember them being somewhat lengthy, but I was also a retarded little kid.

Major criticism that was leveled against it was its length. I remember being disappointed that it was over when I was a kid. But damn I want to play it again.

Anyone know a good program to convert an AVI to GIF? I'm doing it frame by frame in Imageready and I feel like a there must be an easier way.

1st use virtualdub to chop the original avi down to the exact size you want, you can get it down to the exact frame. Since .gifs run at approximately 8-12 fps (might be a bit off on that) change the avi to that fps as well. After that just right-click on the .avi file and open in it ImageReady and it will already be converted into exactly what you want, than just save optimized as usual into a gif.

These games were short because you were supposed to spend hours upon hours figuring out the puzzle. These games were made before powerhouse sites like gamefaqs.com started posting walkthroughs, so the game ended up taking much longer than it might now. With this game's amazing visuals though, I'm not suprised they had to cheap out on the story length.

Awesome, thanks!

Heres the canyon jump scene. I had to resize it to keep it under 2mb but it still looks pretty badass. I could post the 5.86mb one if you want though.

Oh, damn, I played that one. Took me several days to beat it because I walked around and messed with stuff so much.

Grim Fandango was the last great adventure game, and arguably the best thing to come out of Lucasarts for a long time. Though I hear Psychonauts is a step in the right direction.

Full Throttle was a example of what point-and-click games should be and Lucasarts at their best. Excellent art, music and voice acting with a compelling story in a unique setting.

If you're wondering what I made the gifs from, someone edited together clips of the game into an hour long movie here

They removed the interface so its quite classy, but they had to edit out some scenes too for a better flow.

Wow, did they actually write that for the game? I thought it was from some classic poem.

I can't believe I lent Grim Fandango away too *sob*

I know it probably sucked...but has anyone tried the new sam and max game?

Grim fandango had a clumsy interface and a disconnected plot. It was also ludicrously difficult with some illogical puzzles hindered by the interface issues. If the plot was tightened up and it was a traditional 2-D animation game (ala MI3) I think it could have been one of the greatest adventure games of all time. Fantastic voice acting and mood.

I also just played through Full Throttle. Length aside, I think it was a pretty darn good adventure. The fighting/action puzzles were stupid and useless, but at least were bypassable with a key combination. Great voice acting, animation, and style, though. I still think Sam + Max is a superior adventure game to both. Funnier, with great voice acting to boot.

I just played it through both over the past few days, so the games are fresh in my mind.

I loved this game so much! It certainly was short, but I still loved every minute of it. Great style, great voice acting :) I miss these Lucas Arts adventure games. The ones I've enjoyed the most recently that are vaguely close to the old adventure games have been Broken Sword 3 (managing to not fuck up the style they tried in Monkey Island 4) and Fahrenheit (or Indigo Prophecy to the Yanks). Good shit yo!

it didn't hold a candle to the first then series of even after failed it.

>>357877
its harder the first time through so i take longer. but 4 hours sounds about right.

>>357997
psychonauts is FUCKWIN, but its not a point and click. Its a platformer but it has the same story telling aspects of the adventure games. Tim schafer is the man.

>>358075
it sucked. wait for the full 6 eps to come out. its will be much more satisfying that way. its way too short as episodes.

Dammit. Full Throttle was one of the best games I have ever owned. I deeply regret throwing it away (I don't know what was wrong with me, seriously).

Agree to disagree I suppose. True, I haven't played them recently, but I don't doubt that I'd still feel the same if I played them today.
