If you delete all the stupid parts and puzzles from EMI, all you're left with is one brilliant swamp puzzle.

If we ever need a retrospective summary, here it is... And what about its articles and writers? I loved your "Leisure Suit Larry" retrospective, @Udvarnoky! And who can forget Bernard's "Tex Murphy" articles? Bonus: Ever tried asking it about your own online handle? I'm not bored this bank holiday weekend. No sir!

Logged in after months just to show my utter disapproval for such a terrible lack of judgement for the invaluable gem that is Grim Fandango. I can't believe what I'm reading.

Was wondering if that was going to bug anyone! The reason is not so much technical as practical: by managing the location where the game are, I can ensure that everything is always laid out correctly, which simplifies the environment during game run time. Essentially it "normalizes" the layout of the game files regardless of where they originated, be it from a physical disk, disk image, ZIP file, or subdirectory. It also means I can offer a logical "delete" function, where I don't have to worry about potentially deleting something important. I realize this takes more disk space, but for the games in question, even the sum total is not all that significant these days. If it really bothered you, you could probably open the install folder and change the lec-xxxx folder into a soft link to the directory where you have the files. However, if you do that, stay away from the "Delete Game" option in that case!

Split away from the entirely unrelated thread.

Are you aware of Return to Monkey Island?! 😀

If this forum would allow me to give your post a thumbs down, I would do so. Grim Fandango is near the pinnacle of anything LucasArts ever did. Converting it (or Escape for that matter) into 2D would not make them better games.
