Grim Fandango Network, circa 2001

The Grim Fandango Network is one of the internet’s first Grim Fandango fan websites, established in 1998 by Michael Yared during the lead-up to the game’s release. This was a time when LucasArts was still enjoying its golden age, had recently released The Curse of Monkey Island, and Google had yet to be founded as a company.

Its singular mission was and is to be the most in-depth Grim Fandango resource on the web. The site has been through a number of permutations, with ownership eventually passing to long-standing content and news author Ryan Williams in 2004, who’s continued to maintain it to this day.

Over the years, the website’s focus has shifted towards archiving and preserving Grim Fandango‘s legacy. It’s now a growing museum of articles, fan work, information, media, websites, and anything else pertinent to Grim Fandango and its dedicated community that thrived for many years.

  1. I I’ve saved Meche to ger out of the saferoom through the shower drain… and now Im on a beach with her, the two little flying kids and Glottis… and my beached boat… I thought right after the drain a cut scene happens and I fight Domino??? Do I have more to do before that happens??? Ive been searching but can’t find an answer

    Glottis keeps saying the boat isn’t ready… and then when I try to talk with Meche… Manny says he can’t leave without the others?

    Please help

  2. I love that this is still going.
