Grim Fandango
LucasArts · 1998
Grim Fandango (1998) is LucasArts’ first 3D adventure game. It replaces UI cues with Manny Calavera’s head-turning and inventory management with coat-jacket animations. Players solve puzzles by collecting and combining objects, talking through dialogue trees, and navigating pre-rendered environments — all without death or unwinnable states. Its strengths are its writing, voice acting, soundtrack, and stylised world. Its weaknesses are stiff movement, fixed-camera disorientation, and repetitive environmental feedback. It rewards patience and attention. It resists speed and muscle memory.
Day of the Tentacle
LucasArts · 1993
Day of the Tentacle is a 1993 LucasArts point-and-click adventure built on the SCUMM engine. It uses time travel as a structural puzzle mechanic, splitting three protagonists across past, present, and future. Players switch between them and move items across eras using Chron-o-Johns or temporal placement. It features voice acting — a LucasArts first — and relies on cause-and-effect logic over reflexes or narrative choice.
