   Al Emmo is a very neat old school adventure. I had a lot of fun playing it. Was a great laugh in places. Very true to the old Sierra classics and worth supporting the genre and developers for! Top marks from me.… Expand

   A game which gave me some good laughs. Although the graphics are somewhat dated and the screens are 2D with prerendered characters, I still had a lot of fun. If the player takes Al Emmo for what it's intended to be (a tribute to retro adventures) and can handle the dated technology, then a well-written, funny game exists. I personally had no problem with the look/speak/grab interface. In fact, I prefer having those options to the dumbed down interfaces of many newer games. Then again, I often hear that the text parser is still a favorite of many Sierra fans. Not that this game contains a parser, but perhaps players should understand that the designers attempted to appease old time fans first and foremost, which is why the game contains so many relics that may be considered outdated by others. I am one such gamer who can appreciate old adventures, so this one really appealed to me.… Expand

   I had to check the release date on this one, surely there was a mistake- holy 1996 batman! I'm sorry, it's cute, 2d is doable, just not like this, not at 640x480, not with the look/speak/grab interface, not in 2006.… Expand

   If the saying "you are what you play" is true, I'm embarrassed to say I played this. The character was so hard to relate to, his voice so grating on the nerve, it would be more satisfying to see him fail his goals then accomplish them Graphically, the game was colorful, but seemed novice and out of date. The story had it's moments--though it only picks up steam in the last chapter, but the humor definitely missed it's mark; and unfortunately, the game attempts to be humorous at every click of the mouse. Voice acting went from horrific (such as the main character & narrator), to well done. Ultimately, if your idea of fun is playing a naive and clueless, 30-something year old attempt to get a wife in a western setting, maybe this game will apeal to you. And if you don't mind squeeky and over-the-top voices, as well as sometimes-tasteless sexual jokes, you might even find the game enjoyable… Collapse
