Himalaya Studios focuses on creating adventure games in the spirit of classic Sierra adventure games, like King's Quest, Space Quest, and Leisure Suit Larry. Founders Brimhall and Warren had originally created AGD Interactive, a non-profit company that is dedicated to updating original Sierra games to a more modern look.
On September 6 2006, Himalaya Studios released their first game, Al Emmo and the Lost Dutchman's Mine.
