Fenimore Fillmore: 3 Skulls of the Toltecs

A spanish point and click adventure from the golden era. 3 Skulls of the Toltecs is the first game in a trilogy of the games, probably the best one. It follow the story of Fenimore Fillmore in his quest to find the golden skulls in order to find a hidden treasure. Other characters involved are a friar, a colonel, the apaches, mexican revolutionaries and french soldiers. As with most spanish adventures, the game is huge with tons of locations, items and characters. Puzzles are generally logical, unlike french adventures, but there's so many permutations, details and the ocassional pixel hunt, that most gaming sessions are just walking from place to place trying random stuff until something works. Fortunately, there are absolutely no dead locks nor deaths. Most of the humour is hit or miss, with very obvious punchlines or long dialogues that lead nowhere. There's a peculiar obsession with an unseen character named Dr. Hengelhoffer acting as some kind of funny gag. Voice acting is generally ok, everyone sounds and acts like a cartoon character. There's almost no music, most scenes being filled with ambient sounds or just silent. Important plot progress will play some of the few FMV cutscenes. The interface and generally goofyness borrows a lot from classic LucasArts adventures, obviously inspired by games like Day of the Tentacle or the Monkey Island saga. It's still a good adventure if you want to check some of the euopean ones, it's difficulty and atmosphere is almost on par with games like Hollywood Monsters. The new achievements are nothing fancy but a few are challenging enough for a replay.

Хороший интересный квест с классными рисунками и анимацией. Проиграть здесь по видимому невозможно, и загадки не сложные. Вполне можно играть и сегодня. Из плохого: 1) есть несколько мест в игре, где глючит графика; 2) маршрут пути героя в некоторых местах просто ужасен (например, в индейской деревне); 3) перевод на русский язык и озвучка на троечку: есть ошибки перевода, ошибки грамматические, опечатки, несоответствие субтитров произносимому, озвучка тоже так себе.

I was not prepared for the absolutely awful racist stereotypes in this. It's awful. The gameplay wasn't great up until that point, but I can't keep playing after that.

Un point'n'click de la fin des années '90 un peu vieillot et ce surtout dans les références culturelles. Malgré tout, l'écriture, tout comme l'humour, est globalement bonne et le jeu se termine bien si on est un fan du genre.

If you're into these types of games of point and click, then sure, you'll love it. Plot is fun, characters are wacky and weird, puzzles are hard to solve sometimes... I totally recommend it yeah.

8/10

Ха-ха-ха. Ха-ха. Ха. Не мог пройти эту игру в детстве без перевода, да и вся семья не могла: английский никто не понимал на уровне... И вот! Закрытый гештальт, скажем так. Много культурных отсылок, пасхалок, это мы любим. Хоть местами становилось скучновато, да и ладно, игра детства. [h1]7/10[/h1]

More of all it's an "Ok" game for a point and click taking in consideration this was release originally in 1996. Some points to make: -I had to change and try all the configuration of the game in the 1st second I started because the character advanced SUPER slow, never had see this issue before in other old game. After that was playable, if not I was about to quit the game. -Moving from one point to another it's slow, so remember it's an old game and have patience. -It had stereotypes/racist jokes (especially the Chinese character) bear in mind this before playing. -The puzzles are not that complicated most of the time. Others are out of nowhere, like the wind one. Lots of "pay atention of dialogs because you will need this later and the character wont repeat it". As an avid point and click gamer I'm used, plus luckly I got to play this all together without taking long breaks. -I encounter one issue, in the jail the deputty talkes over your own convo and makes the subtitles and voice on the dub not show, only the deputty one so, no luck to know what they reply since its a dialod of one time only. -The ending was meh... What I would expect from a traditional wild west story. More of all. After 5 hours, 100% achievement, I approve this game as an old classic!

Замечательная игра из 90-х, тогда я не смог её пройти из-за критической ошибки, но позже мне это удалось сделать. Игра сделана великолепно в виде мультика с юмором и шутками. Игру рекомендую всем любителям квестов!
