From the makers of the excellent free King's Quest VGA remakes at
Tierra, comes their first commercial game. This is a witty western with a
healthy dose of adventure, follows in the tradition of classic adventure
gaming. Join Al, a middle-aged, feeble, Easterner, on his journey into the
heart of the Wild-West in search of a suitable bride. Enjoy the quaint
gold-rush town of Anozira; chat up highly flirtatious babes; cautiously
evade warring Indian tribes; discover legends of lost gold; bask in the
intense summer heat; encounter breathtaking landscapes; meet up with the
occasional rabid prairie dog, and more! It has high-resolution, hand-painted
2D background illustrations and 3D pre-rendered character animations. In
spite of its small-town setting, Al Emmo weighs in with around 70 locations
and 35 characters (humans and animals). Detailed dialogue portraits of
interactive characters and a lip-synched voice pack as well as more than two
hours of beautiful, original musical score add to the fun. It's built on AGS,
one of the most feature-intensive game development engines around.
In Nov/2013, an Enhanced Edition of the game featuring reworked 2D animated cut scenes and a new voice actor for the protagonist was released. There are also a plethora of other tweaks and improvements! |
