Himalaya Studios Ships Classic Style Adventure Game for the PC
Remember an era when classics like King's Quest, Leisure Suit Larry,
and Monkey Island reigned supreme? Remember a time when games had an
enticing storyline and challenging puzzles? A few years ago,
journalists proclaimed the adventure gaming genre was dead, but that
didn't last for long!
The fan-bois (and girl) responsible for
creating remakes of Sierra's beloved King's Quest I and King's Quest
II, have just released their first original classic-style adventure
game for the PC, Al Emmo and the Lost Dutchman's Mine.
Britney
Brimhall, Chairman & CEO of Himalaya Studios comments, "after
spending several years in development, making certain to get all the
details JUST right, we are SO excited to finally release the game to
adventure game lovers around the world!" Brimhall also remarks, "fans
of the adventure genre have been neglected for far too long, and we
hope with the release of Al Emmo, that gamers will once again feel the
immense nostalgic feeling of loading a classic for the first time."
Order
fulfillment commenced on Wednesday morning, and those who placed a
preorder can expect to receive their classic gaming goodness in a
flash. For those who did not yet place an order, now is the chance to
visit Himalaya Studios' brand new online store at
http://store.himalayaforums.com/. Gamers can purchase the game, soundtrack, art prints and more, all which will be immediately shipped to their doorstep.
Recently, Himalaya Studios updated the official Al Emmo website. Fans can mosey on over to
www.alemmo.com
for the chance to win prizes; take a sneak peek, behind the scenes, and
see a "making of" movie; view never seen before concept art, and more!
Himalaya
Studios was disappointed by the disappearance of retro, classic style
adventure gaming and anticipates a major revival in the genre with
their first original release. To support their mission, Himalaya
Studios encourages adventure gamers throughout the world to unite and
spread the word of the return of classic adventure gaming with Al Emmo
and the Lost Dutchman's Mine!
