Description

When cowboy Fenimore Fillmore comes into possession of a golden skull by way of an expiring snake-oil salesman, he learns that it is one of three keys that will unlock the treasure of the Toltecs. After the skull is stolen by rustlers, Fenimore sets out to recover all three and unearth the treasure himself.

3 Skulls of the Toltecs is a 3rd person cartoon adventure game in the same vein as The Secret of Monkey Island. The interface is point-and-click, and the player is given a list of verbs to select from to perform actions: open, pick up, use, look, etc, similar to the LucasArts games it emulates. Once a certain portion of the territory has been covered a map becomes available for travel, or the player can ride the train tracks with a hand-pumped trolley or travel by donkey. Puzzles are inventory-based, and the player must talk to other characters in the game and collect items in order to solve them.

  • "Las 3 calaveras de los toltecas" -- Spanish title
  • "3 черепа Тольтеков " -- Russian spelling

Trivia

Even before the release of "Wanted: A Wild Western Adventure" (or "Fenimore Fillmore: The Westerner" as it's called in Europe), this first game about Fillmore had become some sort of cult classic. The problem is that it's very hard to find, and some of the rare copies have been sold for over $200 on Ebay.
