    "With bony hands I hold my partner/ On soulless feet we cross the floor/ The music stops as if to answer/ An empty knocking at the door/ It seems his skin was sweet as mango/ When last I held him to my breast/ But now we dance this grim fandango/ And will four years before we rest."

    For gods sake, someone remake or rerelease this game in some form.

    Yeah, i couldn't finish it because the game crashed on me at a certain point. I'd love to see a remake, not because of the graphics, but stability on newer systems.

    Well, my biggest problem was that I just couldn't figure out one of the puzzles. Had something to do witth the big guy that could fix cars early on. A bit too clever for me, I guess; reminded me of some of the puzzles from Hitchhiker's Guide, almost...  well, no, that's too harsh. Thank you hive-mind internet for helping me get past it.

    @Sunjammer: Man, I still got the game on CD and when I wanted to replay it last year I realised that I no longer own a dvd/cd drive... so sad (haha). 
     
    They just have to release a Steam or GOG version sooner or later.

    Yeah, it's definitely one of my favourite games of all time.. The writing was awesome! I'm not sure if I would like for it to be redone - the only thing I'd want them to do would be to update the graphics and keep everything else as they were.
