Grim Fandango/Trivia: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

* [[Acclaimed Flop]]: The game was extremely well received and still has a large following, but it was complete flop in terms of sales and it partially convinced [[LucasArts]] that adventure games were a bygone genre.

** It did get a second chance at success by way of Disney and Sony in 2015, and appears to have done well enough to merit a second LucasArts [[Updated Rerelease|Updated Re-release]], this time of ''[[Day of the Tentacle]]''.

* [[Doing It for the Art]]: Remastering the game for modern computers wasn't an easy task because no one thought to preserve the original source material in its entirety. The team responsible for the remastering had to cobble together what they could by going through LucasArts' archives, tracking down original team members who took bits home as souvenirs, and even obtaining modders' homemade code. All that hard work paid off to create a well-received update.

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Manny is [[Ugly Betty]]'s dad!

** Ensign Arnold at the beginning of Year 3 is none other than Raphael Sbarge, aka [[Mass Effect|Kaiden Alenko]]/[[Knights of the Old Republic|Carth Onasi]].

** Kay E. Kuter is Dockmaster Velasco.

** Glottis is the [[Psychonauts|Milkman]].

** Meche is [[Justice League Unlimited|Hawk Girl ]].

** Meche is [[Justice League Unlimited|Hawk Girl]].

** Nick Virago is [[Sharpe|Sergeant Patrick Harper]].

** Pugsy is [[Recess|Spinelli]]!
