Much like other indie darling of recent years, Nelly Cootalot has been ported to the Switch, and so three years later, Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl Fleet is here on console.

Naturally, as with many video game Kickstarters, it was delayed and eventually hit PC in 2016. In 2013, a Kickstater campaign for The Fowl Fleet easily cleared its funding goal with over £20,000 worth of backing, and was earmarked for release in 2014. The Fowl Fleet is actually a sequel to an earlier game, Nelly Cootalot: Spoonbeaks Ahoy!, created by British comedian Alasdair Beckett-King. You’d be forgiven for not knowing about the Nelly Cootalot series. But Nelly Cootalot comes damn well close.

Many have tried, but few have captured the feel just right. Before their demise, Telltale probably came as close as anyone in their attempt to make a modern point ‘n’ click classic in creating The Walking Dead adventure series.īut still, no one has managed to come close to recreating those old style titles.

Sure, there have been some great releases: Thimbleweed Park, Broken Age, as well as the Blackwell games, to name a few. The genre died a death at the turn of the century, but luckily the genre has had a massive resurgence in the last decade.ĭespite this, there hasn’t been any point and click games from the past ten years that I’d describe as ‘classic’. Genre classics such as Monkey Island, Gabriel Knight and Sam and Max were all released over 25 years ago. It really feels as though the golden era of the humble point and click game is far behind us.
