Guess I'll run through Grim Fandango another time just for the achievements. I love that game so much.
Good luck
None of these are, like, early-Sierra obtuse but GF especially has some doozys.
Sorry to hear that, must've been really tough at the time.
Some decades later, and it's as good as ever to play these classics.
Day of the Tentacle holds up the best out of the three, IMO.
Finally, we hear word! These are seriously my most anticipated games of the year. I'm going to play them one at a time. I'll play Full Throttle first, since it's the only one I've played, then decide which one to get after that.
Full Throttle was the first game I bought that...encouraged my dad to upgrade his already fairly new PC. I sold it years later at a garage sale, to a kid who lived up the street. He tried to use it as a way to get us to hang out. He invited me over to watch him play the game, but he quickly became frustrated and insisted I show him. I think I ended up beating it again then and there.
I haven't played the other two. Grim Fandango was one I was interested in but could never pull the trigger on. Day of the Tentacle is less familiar to me, but I did watch my dad beat maniac mansion on the nes. I will definitely give both of these a shot.

Haven't played day of the tentacle since 1993 it feels like. Had to get the version for PC that didn't support voiced lines. This will be the real treat
To think this was on stage at Sony's E3 confernece and it happened because of them... now it's on Game Pass.
Grim Fandango is a game that needs to be experienced by EVERYBODY so the fact that more people get to play it makes me happy :)
Please play Grim Fandango, if only so I never have to see another xxxx year being the the greatest year for games discussion again. It's 1998. And Grim Fandango is one of the GOATs.
Theyve gotta stick Psychonauts on Game Pass before the sequel comes out... surely?
Awesome.
I suggest if you are stuck w/ any of these games: google 'UHS hints', it's a website dedicated to point n' click walkthroughs that guide your train of thought with hints so that you can still have the gratification of working it out and keep going, most times that's all you need > having the solution spelled out for you. I've been using that w/ some oldskool point n' clicks and it works a treat.
I'll be doing that myself as I still haven't beaten GF, DotT and FT. Them (alongside beneath a steel sky) are big holes in my adventure gaming backlog.

It was temporarily free last July (not sure if it was an accidental listing) but I used it as an opportunity to play it. Despite some crashes (don't worry though, it does autosave) I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to the sequel.
Day of the Tentacle too. One of the funniest games I've ever played I think.
the best hint I heard for these games was either from Gilbert or Shafer around the time of The Cave's release, and they suggested just to walk away from the game and do something else and the solutions will come flooding subconsciously and I've found that to be so true...it's a bit like reading a book, sometimes taking a break is a part of absorbing the medium
doesn't work for DOTT though, because that game has some stupid obscure fuckin' puzzles, especially if you don't know American history
I'm pretty sure he would, I'm guessing it's only a matter of Double Fine wanting to make one. But that would be a great idea!
Nice! Full Throttle has always been one of my favorite games as a kid, and beat it several times. Doubt I'll manage to do it without a guide this time around, but we'll see how much I remember. Very excited to play Grim Fandango and Day of the Tentacle as well. These will probably be the last games I play on my Xbox One X before I retire that system.
What an awesome surprise!
I met Tim Schafer at PAX East years ago (2011). Ironically, I was talking to Mike Wilford at the time, who was the head of Twisted Pixel. Twisted Pixel had just been purchased by Microsoft. Tim just walks up and they start talking and I'm starstruck. 😆 He's a legend and he was super nice. I got a photo of them. No idea where it is. Now Twisted Pixel is independent and Double Fine is owned my Microsoft.
I miss those days of PAX. It is a lot bigger now, and those moments are harder to come by.

Never played Fandango before. These puzzles are whack. Basically use every item everywhere until something works.
