Thanks guys. Hope to see the Russian version also with higher quality video.

Can anyone who played german version of the game say if there are any extras on disk? I've heard it is larger in size than english version was, so I'm curious. :-)

btw... why did it ask me to make an export file at the very end? Should I save that too?

Mmm... maybe we'll be able to import it into... QfG2 remake. Do Al dream about being a hero? :-)

And AFAIR someone from Himalaya said that there are also easter eggs in some easter eggs :-)

Maybe antivirus activity? Scanning all those files...

Yep, and it is very interesting for me how many hours did it take to finish the game.

As a Russian speaking person I can assure you that even translations created by native Russian speakers working for big Russian publishers can be really awful. Sometimes publishers even have to relocalize the game after they recieve too much bad words about the localization from players. So be carefull! ;-)

Sierra... LucasArts... I would rather opt for Legend games.

But it I was very surprised to find "36. La abadía del crimen" in the list, not to find Diablo, Warcraft II, X-com 1&2; Might and Magic and Heroes of Might and Magic series

I will opt for a combination of fantasy and detective. These guys at Himalaya made me remember of Randall Garrett and his very nice cycle "Too many magicians". Just think of this mix: Sherlock Holmes,  "Name of the Rose" by Umberto Eko and fantasy style. I'd love to have such an adventure.

And I will also agree with the statement that, I'll put it in this way, ethnic -based adventures have really a great potential (not only based on Asian culture but maybe also on African, etc. Hmm, lets see what Benoit Sokal will show us with his "Paradise" (BTW he will do a report on KRI game developement conference in Moscow next weekend)).

Just remebered the box cover of first Larry game (or to be more preciese - "Softporn" text adventure on which "Larry 1" was based on) ;-)

At least "scratches" can be found at amazon.com for 20$.

Don't know what the price will be, but I agree that 19.95$ (or 19.99 - damn this thing ;-)) would be a reasonable one. "Bone 1" was overpriced - everyone knows it, but "Al Emmo" is really worth this. Or lets put it it in another way - 15-25$ concernig what Himalaya will prefer: to sell more copies or to get more from oldschool fans.

The other thing is if they would really sell it as a box version (and include a fresh issue of "Mail Order Monthly" with GameDevBrit's photo and valid e-mail ;-)) - see http://www.adventure-eu.com/forum/index.php?topic=599.0
