"With the recent cancellations of Sam & Max 2 and Full Throttle 2, we thought it important to give adventure gamers what they want and what we think is noticeably missing from genre – humor," said Byron Gaum, Product Manager for The Adventure Company.
Trotting on horseback through the countryside, Fenimore Fillmore happens upon a farming community in trouble. John Starek, a greedy rancher, has set his sites on the town and won't stop until he takes over the land. Quaking in their boots, the community turns to Fenimore for help. A natural-born hero, he saddles up for stand-offs, gunfights and jailbreaks. He also develops a hankering for the lovely school teacher, Rhiannon, who just happens to be Starek's niece. Take on the role of Fenimore Fillmore to save the town, get the girl, and ride-off into the sunset.
