bevinator: This installer + game launcher works great in Win7. It also allows you to run it from the hard drive, which is much faster (and you don't have to bother with disk swapping either).

Well I can't vouch for other people, but it worked fine for me. The installer and the launcher have to both be run as an administrator, and (for me at least) the actual grimfandango.exe file needs to be put in compatibility mode for win 98. That fixed all of my issues. It actually runs smoother for me on my Win 7 machine than it did on my old computer back when the game was new.

You can play the game completely using this. ScummVM for Grim Fandango.

Update - seems it is not the first time Double Fine finds founders on Twitter:

Could this be the new business model? Fish around on Twitter and hoping some random millionaire throws some money your way?

Notch - nobody was ever praised more by me without expectations of sexual intercourse in the near future, what a awesome person. Well, he linked to GOG first when he was promoting it earlier; how cool is that? Gosh, i'm like a 5 year old on christmas. <3

In case none guessed it yet, I am a big fan of the game. In the beginning it was just fun and I did not really think that anything was going to come out of it, but now I am starting to get excited and getting my hopes up... I will spam you with my updates until Psyconauts 2 is completed.

That's a very slight and fragile might for now. I wouldn't get hyped about this just so soon, really :). Tim's been in the industry for a good long while. My guess is he'd want a lot more assurances and legal clearances before even considering to agree to anything. Double Fine does manage quite well doing what they do (which is quite different from a full-on long term big project).

Pledge $150,000 or more:
Tim Schafer (that’s me) will give last four remaining Triangle Boxed Day of the Tentacles, in original shrink-wrap.” (Limit of 1) (Holy crap, what am I thinking? I only have four of those!)
