Over on the AGDI forums (http://www.agdiforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11372&start=44), Chris Warren has announced the excellent news that Himalaya Studios first game "Al Emmo and the Lost Dutchman's Mine" will be published for retail release in the United States, Russia and Germany.
I haven't had much of a chance to play this game yet as I only got my copy a few days ago, but what I have played of it is top-notch.
On an interesting side-note, I went to school with one of the game's animators. Perhaps this good news will convince him to buy me a drink. Wait....I don't drink.
