Episode 93 : Grim Fandango (PC)

Our first PC title (although it's been re-released on pretty much everything), we take a look at Grim Fandango, a later graphic adventure game from the folks who brought us Monkey Island and Full Throttle. Is this as notoriously obtuse as some of the earlier games in the genre, or is this more of a case of technology and experience allowing some improvements to an old PC staple?

Also discussed, possible guest hosts, some listener recommendations, and pre-NES / Master System era games, and if we would cover any.
