This episode is about TIm Schafer's Grim Fandango, the best game that ever put its developers on the streets. Despite glowing reviews, awards, and legions of dedicated fans-, Lucasfilm was underwhelmed, and pulled the plug on their entire adventure game division--and banished the entire genre from the mainstream!

But Is Grim Fandango really the last gasp of a dying genre...or are the reports of the death of adventure games highly exaggerated?
