Grim Fandango resurrected.

Grim Fandango Remastered, a modern restoration of the single most wishlisted game on GOG.com, is available now, DRM-free for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux!

Grim Fandango is just one of those games, it doesn't really need much of an introduction. The unique blend of Mexican folklore with film noir stylings - Tim Schafer's last and greatest hurrah as LucasArts' adventure-gaming-extraordinaire - is widely considered to simply be the best adventure game ever made. Grim Fandango Remastered refreshes and refines the award-winning title, finally making a piece of history available to everyone - hassle-free with no need to leave the dry land. The remaster modernizes the game's presentation and gameplay in a way that improves, but does not distort, the original experience. That means higher quality models and textures, but a familiar unaltered art style; the same musical score as before, re-recorded in higher quality with no unnecessary compression; and perhaps best of all: a new point-and-click interface - but one that is fully optional - the original tank controls are just a few clicks away.

If you missed Grim Fandango the first time around, now's your chance to experience gaming history like never before (or just like before, your call). If you have played it in its heyday - you're probably long overdue for another go anyway. Grim Fandango Remastered is available right now, DRM-free, on GOG.com!
I did not expect it this early. Downloading right now!

Good game but I'm not interested in this genre.

What are the other 4 top games ever?

Zoidberg: Neat! I'll wait for reviews and for a sale (had it originally barely running on my pentium 120 - well, my dad's anyway :P).
Same, I think. There should be a few full reviews of the PC version out by the time it hits 25% off I think :)
The game doesn't launch on Linux. I reported the bug here.
Huh? I just wondering about the language... Only english right now? What about the other languages? :)

They are all in the installer :)
From playing a little bit: The pre-rendered movies seem to have slight hiccups every now and again, but run fine otherwise. The updated renderer does add a nice effect and good looking models, although everything seems to keep running a little sluggish in comparison to the original one; at the same time it looks like it's running the way it's supposed to be as I don't notice any real difference from the trailer videos. *shrug* The added border graphics look nice. Don't even bother trying "widescreen". It's just stretched fugliness. Lastly, as a first time player I surprisingly like the tank controls the most. Just had to reassign some of the actions to different keys for smoother play.

Only encountered one odd lighting bug with Manny's continually glowing cigarette hand - obviously not present in the original mode - in the initial section which disappeared shortly thereafter.

It launched fine on Mint 17 and Ubuntu 14.04 :) Also, make sure you aren't using the open source AMD graphics drivers :) Or just wait for version 1.1.7 which is getting rolled ASAP today :)

I'm using closed Nvidia driver. I'll test the update and will report if it fixes this problem.

The version is the game card is reported as 1.1.7, but tarball has version 1.0.0.3.

Or how start.sh from GOG defines them:

declare -r VERSION="1.0.0.3"
declare -r VERSION_DEV="1.1.7"

So not sure what I got. 1.1.7 that you meant or not? That file which is reported is really missing. Such as deferred_light_v.glsl for example. There is no such file in the package.

Yes, 1.0.0.3 = Grim Fandango Remastered version 1.1.7.
