The new Al Emmo website went up last night at midnight Anozira time, providing eager fans with lots of new information about the upcoming game, plus some goodies to boot.

Al Emmo and the Lost Dutchman's Mine is the first commercial release from Himalaya Studios, an independent team comprised of many of the same people who made the King's Quest 1 and 2 VGA remakes. The eye-catching Flash-based website was designed by team member Eriq Chang, a long-time adventure game fan who draws much of his inspiration from the artwork of LucasArts and Sierra classics.

The site currently contains game information, screenshots, selected soundtrack MP3s, and a link to the official demo that's hosted right here at Adventure Gamers. The full game isn't available yet, but Himalaya's online store is open for pre-orders. According to a coming soon note, "behind the scenes" video featurettes will launch tomorrow. The site also features a contest in which 50 copies of the game, along with limited edition posters signed by Chang, will be given away as prizes.

So, while you're waiting for that demo to download, mosey on over to the website to see what Al Emmo and the Lost Dutchman's Mine has in store for you!
