Grim Fandango is an adventure game released by LucasArts in 1998. It was one of the last adventure games made by the company, and is generally said to mark the endpoint of "the golden era of adventure games" in the nineties. Using the keyboard, the player controls a Grim Reaper-like character throughout the "Land of the Dead," following a story with heavy tie-ins to Mexican folklore, older adventure games, and Film Noir cinema such as the 1942 classic Casablanca. Grim Fandango was the first adventure game to sport 3D-modeled characters, although in a pre-rendered 2D world.
