To be honest, we didn’t really find the overarching story to be that captivating, but there was enough interesting things happening minute to minute that it isn’t such a big issue.
As Nelly cannot stand back and allow this to happen, she sets out on an adventure to thwart the baron and save the birds under his command. Standing between Widebeard and a legendary treasure is a flock of vicious Ptarmigans, which he is hoping to defeat with his own feathered fleet. The Fowl Fleet opens with Nelly discovering that the villainous Baron Widebeard has hypnotized an army of bird for his own nefarious purposes. However, despite sharing some similarities with the Lucasarts classic, The Fowl Fleet is not just a pale imitation, but a great adventure in its own right. Undeterred, comedian Alasdair Beckett-King has forged ahead and created Nelly Cootalot, a swashbuckling pirate themed adventure with undeniable Monkey Island influences. It also means that you have to be pretty brave as a developer to release a pirate themed point & click adventure. It has obviously been since surpassed in terms of visuals and audio, but the brilliant humor and clever puzzles still cements its position as a true classic. Despite being twenty six years old at the time of writing, The Secret of Monkey Island is still one of the best titles in the point & click adventure genre.
