Neverhood was wonderful but unfortunately I don't know of any other
"claymation" adventure games. Of all the games I've played the one with the
nearest "feel" to The Neverhood is in my opinion Zork Grand Inquisitor. The
team who produced The Neverhood used the same Klayman character in a
PlayStation game called Skull Monkeys. I've never seen this game but I
believe it's an action game rather than adventure, and I'm not sure if they
even used "claymation" to create the graphics.

There used to be a Neverhood web site but someone else has taken over the
name! Kind of strange really, considering "the neverhood" is a registered
trade mark and the game was published by DreamWorks.

are you talking about games that are made with claymation, or just any
colorful 3rd person cartoony adventure? there are lots that are rather
like it, Kings quest 5,6, 7, and Chewy, Escape from F5, and the Broken
Sword games, and the Simon the Sorcerer games. Many more too.

Neverhood was one of a kind, but I though Grim Fandango had a similar feel,
with great art and fun music.

Wish I did!
The Neverhood is one of my favorite games. I never found anything quite
like it.

Earthworm Jim was the work of the same artist, Douglas Ten Napel, but is
obviously a very different concept, although the sense of humour is
similar.

Watching an Aardman movie (eg, "The Wrong Trousers", "A Close Shave",
and
"Chicken Run") is close. :)

There's a "Chicken Run" entertainment CD, but the cover blurb indicates
that
no game is to be found in it, just wallpaper and such unchallenging
material.
