Fenimore Fillmore: 3 Skulls of the Toltecs

Fenimore Fillmore: 3 Skulls of the Toltecs, developed and published by Casual Brothers Ltd., is a remastered return to a cult classic point-and-click adventure from the mid-1990s—a time when the genre thrived on eccentric humor, hand-drawn art, and elaborate puzzle chains. The game follows the well-meaning but slightly bumbling cowboy Fenimore Fillmore, who stumbles into a chaotic treasure hunt involving legendary golden Toltec skulls. What begins as a dusty Western shootout spirals into a sprawling comedic odyssey across border towns, army camps, saloons, convents, canyons, and outlaw hideouts. Rather than framing the story as a gritty frontier tale, the game gleefully embraces exaggerated archetypes, slapstick interactions, and tongue-in-cheek references to classic Western films. It’s less about realism and more about celebrating how silly, lively, and unpredictable the Old West can be when filtered through cartoonish absurdity. As a traditional adventure game, it relies heavily on exploration, dialogue, inventory management, and lateral problem solving. Each area is filled with characters who are equal parts obstacle and comedic relief—nuns, mercenaries, French soldiers, charis…

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.

Misfire. I salute the idea but it is poorly executed. Right off bat the game is showing us tons of rough storyboard art and giving us a behind-the-scenes feel while subjecting us to a long credits sequence. I know you guys are proud you made a game but I don’t like you in that way. Maybe woo me and show me something good before you start giving me a sneak peek at how the magic is made. Credits-first isn’t helping the game feel cinematic. The intro makes it seem like a bunch of teenagers made this game. The game itself - funny and charming I think… didn’t make it far because it’s poorly laid out. The original run of point-and-click adventures had a great flow and clever design to subtly guide the player to action and satisfaction. This game plays out like… OK I don’t know what to do. I guess I have to try every clicking every option with every object until something happens. To add to that frustration the main character will just say “no” to lots of things you click on. There’s a window in a barn. I’m like let’s open this window and he’s like “I’d better not” or something. Not very satisfying. Went to big town. It didn’t seem very big at all. Kept leaving and coming back like th…

some P'NC adventures from the 90's have aged well. this one certainly didn't! it probably was cr*p back then too and the remake doesn't seem to have helped much, save on a few technical aspects at best. humor is as lame as they get, rock bottom level. many puzzles are based on moon logic and should never have left the minds of the devs. the game was really lame on that department too. people get killed in horrible ways and tortured, not exactly a P'NC adventure custom. one could argue it's not fair to judge the game's PC level looking back from 30 years further, but the depiction of apache natives was disgustingly racist as well.. this thing really is an abomination, definitely not fit to be played in the modern era by any standards.

In the 90's I used to go crazy for games with lots of animations. Not so much anymore and I didn't really play this back in the day because there was better. I think I only like this one cause has that cheap nasty old game feel, if that's not what you would like then maybe skip it.

nice game - I was worried it would bug my playthrough, but it worked perfectly for me. funny game, too :)
