Hm, there could be a lot of ways this could be done. I'd like to suggest three ways, though I'm not sure the founders would be fond of them

Another way could be to sell character extras in the game. If someone were to donate "X" amount of money (possibly some of it could go to charity?) then they could have their name/likeness as an extra character in the game.

Possibly, perhaps they could donate money and spend a day with one of the Himalaya founders if they are in proximity? I liken this to one of those fund-raising dinner parties that political candidates often have.

Halloween here in Los Angeles (especially for the older set) consists of going to costume parties or to theme parks that are specially modified for the holiday and open at night! For instance, the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland is converted into a Nightmare Before Christmas ride! Other theme parks and attractions are far scarier, and the little 'uns aren't allowed.

Happy birthday Chris! Do you celebrate Halloween as well?

 

Hey punkasaurus,

Try waiting a couple of seconds after each response from the Mayor when you converse with him so he has a chance to finish turning his head. You can also see if there's a difference between using the mouse or the ESC key to get through the conversation- just go slowly is all.

Also, you could try a restore from a chapter before, but I don't think that would help much.

The only *very* minor thing that bugged me in the end is the fact...

[spoiler]...that Al wouldn't have had the upper-body strength to climb up a rope with the treasure (if at all), not to mention doing so one-handed![/spoiler]

Yay! I received my Collector's edition in the mail! I'll take a photo sometime later and post...or at least email it to Eriq.

[spoiler]In general, make sure you take a look at everything in your inventory. That may help...I'm trying to remember what I did at that point - only thing I can think of is talking again with the sheriff. [/spoiler]

Happy Birthday Stijn!!

You could just save me a piece of cake - and send it with my shipment of Al Emmo!  

oooh...yes, this would be a fascinating game! I remember either a Discovery/History/A&E channel special on this treasure (for those of us in the USA) Here's a linkto the DVD and program synopsis: http://store.aetv.com/html/product/index.jhtml?id=72117

Anyone remember a game where you were a pharmasisct in a old west town? I loved that game! It had a wacky sense of humor, and if memory serves correct, was similar in gameplay to what al emmo looks to be.

Hey Blind, that game is called Freddy Pharkas, Frontier Pharmacist.  

Okay, well I couldn't resist posting something that will make everyone even happier. Or define me as the "insane one" on the forums.    Some of us here know that pizza is one of the five elements. Did you know it can also be dessert?  :O  I've actually tried/created the following recipes, and though it sounds strange they're quite tasty!

You will need:
One pizza dough/premade pizza shell (make it from scratch or purchase) enough to feed your friends. Try to stay away from doughs that have savory ingredients i.e.) garlic, cheese, spices. Make sure it's cooked and ready to go.

and then...
Spread peanut butter on the pizza, add strawberry jelly on top along with banana slices. Sprinkle with chocolate shavings or crushed nuts. Warm it up and make it gooey if you like. It's yummy cold too!

Variations: Nutella (chocolate hazelnut spread), chunks of canned or fresh fruit, m&ms/reece's pieces, ice cream on the side, crushed cookie pieces.


Just to make this posting legit, my first games were played on the Commodore 64. When I switched to the IBM-compatible, my first favorite game was "Tass Times in Tonetown" in 1986. My eyes were truly opened when I went to a friend's house and played Hero's Quest. She also had a number of other Sierra games along with Ultima. I was hooked! Since then, I've always appreciated a game that was well-rounded instead of the current trend of pretty graphics and loads of needless violence. It's akin to my taste in movies - I want good characters, a meaningful story, wonderful visuals and music, and that extra special "something" that makes you want to experience it all again. Remake or not, a good game goes beyond the technology and touches the heart.
