A rival stranger in town in the form of a mysteriously handsome Spaniard, and a looming thousand-year-old Aztec curse are bound to keep Al on his toes. Does redemption lie deep within the haunted depths of the Lost Dutchman's Mine? And is Al brave enough to enter? You decide!

This is a commercial product.
The game shows promise but the grating voice acting of the main character and the narrator are almost unbearable. The jarring inconsistencies between the character art and the cutscenes also hurt the game, though if you can get past the voices you will find an enjoyable little game.
We'd love to hear what you think about the game!

It could work for a sierra or leisure suit larry fan, but I'm neither and the humor is simply offgrade.
There's quite a lot to like about this game, but quite a number of things that just didn't do it for me too. I wonder how the remastered version HS are making will compare to this? I think it helps if you're more a Sierraphile than a Lucasphile (I'm the latter).
Cool game, fun to play, a few moments where you really do let out an audible laugh or chuckle, and overall a good romp type comedy adventure. Sets the bar for commercial games not just in terms of professional approach but also in terms of marketing and support.
I remember seeing this game as being commercial and wondering if it were worth forking out the money....and hesitantly getting my credit card out.
Well I can now look back with no regrets, cos this game was worth the money. *No I haven't been paid to write this*
Professional graphics, good solid puzzling fun, and a nice witty banter between the main character and narrator are all aspects of the game I will miss now that it is over.
I particularly enjoyed winding up the post office worker with all my different items of inventory. And was most concerned when I jumped into bed with ___ and sucked ___ (don't want to give the plot away ^_^)
Well, the main plot was of a quite serious tone, yet the voices were rather comical in nature...In some places it just didn't seem to mix too well, and didn't feel as climactic. It feels wrong, yet unavoidable.
Anyways, will have to look for some more adventure games,...hmm,...where to look......but this will take some beating :P
This game deserves to be "pick of the month", but because its commersial we will not include it.
