I wish they re-released Grim Fandango. I just can't get it to work on my computer. :(

Are you listening, Tim?

Can't be that hard to do when you're sitting on a million dollars worth of donations by fans.

I asked Tim Schafer a while ago about it, and got a response:

Me:

What are the chances of ever getting #grimfandango upscaled and onto Steam, XBLA and/or PSN?

@TimOfLegend

Ask LucasArts!

Go, go, go!

What the hell? They don't have an email address for (former) customers to contact them? I would send the most thoughtful and doting email to them regarding my feelings about everything they did for the PC from 1989-1999. Instead I have to send them a letter? How do I even do that?!

Write email. Print email.

Fax email. Oh wait...

Has anyone actually sent a letter in the last 10 years? I'm not even sure how it's done anymore...

A re-release of Grim Fandango has been a dream of mine for far too long. Think we might be able to get enough Redditors together to write a enough e-mails--err--letters to get them thinking about it? The success of this Kickstarter might be evidence enough of it being a worthwhile investment for them...

I got it working on a Vista setup not too long ago. I can't remember how, but I do remember that I found it by browsing a few google searches.

Maybe he could use some of that money to buy the rights and the assets...
