Buenos Dias! Calavera Cafe is a site dedicated to Lucas Arts new adventue game, Grim Fandango. Grim Fandango was released towards the end of 1998. This is one of the many Grim Fandango sites on the internet, some of which include Manny's Mansion, Calavera's Last Dance, Grim Fandango Central, and the LSA (Lost Souls Alliance), which is the only Grim Fandango fan club on the internet.

There are lots more sites, but these are sites which are hosted on the Grim Fandango Network (see links page), which is a collection of sites, images, reviews, walkthroughs, and just about every-thing else to do with the game.

The game was made by Lucas Arts. There you can find the official Grim Fandango web site and download a demo of the game.

Suggestions for celebrity sightings

14 March 2001

I just wanted to let people know that I am taking suggestions for my Celebrity Sightings section. I havent received 1 yet! Some possible suggestions could be: One of the GF characters posing with Elvis, on the moon, in Egypt etc...anything even more creative than me. I only have 1 so far. Go over there and have a look.

Bad, Bad Fortune City

14 March 2001

I'm still having trouble with Fortunecity. There is always some reason for me not being able to connect to them and upload my site. I think they assume that sites don't need to be updated ever or something! If anyone knows a more reliable hosting service, PLEASE let me know ASAP so I can get started on moving my site.

LSA has re-opened

14 March 2001

Once again 3 weeks since my last update, but I think they'll be coming more frequently now. Some great news today! The first Grim Fandango Fan club has re-opened after sooooooo long, and it looks like its going to be better than ever. Every one should make some contributions, no matter how small. Also, if you sign up, say that Shad0w referred you ;)

100 Hits!

21 February 2001

Wow, nearly a month since my last update. I guess I have been busy with school and stuff, and all my computer time has been spent learning Flash. I am pretty bad at it, but I will attempt a Flash intro for this site in about 5 weeks (which is how long it will take me to find time for it). The only problem with this is that I dont know what to put on the intro. If anyone out there has any ideas, please tell me (click on the "contact" button on the left).

My new site

29 January 2001

Well, I decided to make a mini-site for the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. If you are remotely interested, here it is.


Minor Updates

24 January 2001

Well not much but I put up a counter and a guestbook today. Please sign it.

New Look

20 January 2001

Well.. Calavera Cafe now has a new look. I think it looks much better, but I would like some feedback from you. The only problem is that I can't upload it because there is something wrong at Fortunecity!!! That won't affect you though, because if you can read this, then the problem has been fixed.

Lets hope its GF2 :)

19 January 2001

I was looking at Grim Fandango Central and apparently there was an article in PC Gamer talking about Grim Fandango 2 in productions. I hope that is what the new game announcement below is about, because I know that everyone has their fingers crossed.



New Lucasarts game

18 January 2001

Lucasarts have announced a new game to be released soon, and they say it will be very big. Check it out for yourself:

"There's something big on the horizon. LucasArts Entertainment Company is about to make an incredibly exciting game announcement! We wish we could tell you more, but that would ruin all the fun. Keep an eye on LucasArts.com over the next few weeks for this and several other exciting announcements!"

Well, I think that if it is going to be so big, it can't be another Star Wars game (I hope), but I still don't think it's Grim Fandango 2...


What is missing from the site?

3 January 2001

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can add to the site? I'm trying to find something that no-one else has put on their Grim Fandango sites. I have come up with the Celebrity Sightings section, and I want more things to put under the Fun Stuff section. Also, can anyone think of a new site design? The frames are very old and unoriginal. Just send any ideas to me. Thank you.



Screenshots!

28 December 2000

I put up Year 1 of the screenshots today. Year 2 should be up next week, after I have time to play the game. Celebrity sighting No. 1 has been put up. Manny Calavera was seen in France! I will be looking for other characters around the world in weeks to come, so stay tuned.

Calavera Cafe finally opens!

27 December 2000

After so long..I re-made my site so now it is bigger and better than ever! (anyone who saw it at Geocities last year will agree). This is The Shadow here welcoming you all to my site. It is mostly done ..not quite finished yet, but nearly done. I will be making a downloads page soon, finish the links page and mabye something in Flash (but that is unlikely because I havent quite worked out how to use it yet). The concept art page might be taken off soon if Lucasarts doesnt like it, and I'm not very happy with just taking it straight off their site.


Construction begins on Calavera Cafe
