Hiya

Just wondering if Grim Fandango works well in XP? Is there any patch I should get to make it run better? My specs are below and obviously I can run it but I wondered if there are any issues because it is a ten year old game.

Thanks

It should run fine, I used to play it. I believe there were some patches released for it though to make it run better on faster machines. You should be able to find them on the main Fandango site.

Got it working.:)
Just had to download the Grim Fandango Luancher and Installer which not only set up the game perfectly to run of your hard drive but it downloads the patch and installs it for you.
