Al Emmo and the Lost Dutchman's Mine 29 Jun, 2006 / Comments: 3


Though this isn't at all LucasArts (or Double Fine or Telltale or whatever) related, it may be of interest to Mojo readers!

A new commercial 2D point and click adventure game, made by fans of the "old classics," is on it's way and the demo's just come out. The game is called Al Emmo and the Lost Dutchman's Mine. The title's definitely a bit silly but the game is worth checking out, not only because it's a 2D point and click clearly harkening back to days of old when graphic adventures ruled the earth, but because people are saying it's good and fun.

The game is definitely flavored a bit more Sierra than LucasArts, but it's oozing retro adventure game like few other titles manage to achieve. Check out the box art! It looks like it's just landed here from 15 years ago (in a good way).

You can grab the game's demo from over at Adventure Gamers, or you can visit the official Al Emmo website here.

    Very "Sierra-ish" game, but very good. I played Sierra adventure games at least as much as I played Lucas adventure games.

    This demo seems pretty slick, got me stumped too, cant figure out how to get the flower, or, the key...SO yeah, being stumped is better than beating it in an hour.

    Lost Dutchman Mine (the old RPG from late 80's or early 90's) is one of my favourite games.

    Which's got nothing to do with this newspost.

    Uh oh. I just swallowed a whole broccoli by accident. I hope I don't die.

    This has also got nothing to do with the newspost.
