After almost 8 years of development, Grim Fandango is now completable in Residual, the 3D adventure game engine based on the 2D point-and-click adventure game engine ScummVM.

This makes Grim Fandango compatible in modern versions of Windows (for which it was notoriously difficult to do with the native executable), as well as Linux and MacOS X for the first time ever.

I just played through the game myself, and it plays pretty well with some glitches. It was great to play the game all the way through again after all these years. :D

    I hope they port Residual to lot's of devices like ScummVM did. Specially for Android OS ...

    Well, that was enough to kill my enthusiasm and get me to edit my post and never ever ever say "I'm going to fill the cup" ever again.

    There's no specific Windows 64-bit build, but I'm on 64-bit Windows 7 and the 32-bit build that's there works fine. :)

    Thanks for that. Wasn't sure as I've had some games not run at all on 64 bit.
