The Westerner - Sequel to "3 Skulls of the Toltecs"

I just noticed that "Justadventure" has screen prints for "The Westerner", the sequel to "3 Skulls of the Toltecs". No release day announced yet, but this looks great. (I loved 3 skulls!)

The official site is :

Hi Louis,

What was 3 Skulls like? When was it made? I see one copy being auctioned at e-bay for a "buy it now" price of $90.00.

Yikes , Kim! In my opinion no game is worth $90!

The game came out in '96 I belive. It's a western comedy adventure. I don't remember where I got my copy, but I belive I ordered it via the internet.

Maybe you can try sending an email to the developers and see if they can help you get a copy.

Hi Kim and Louis,

We loved 3 Skulls and have a review for it on our site, Mr. Bill\'s Adventureland . Basically it is a parody or spoof on spaghetti westerns like "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" or the John Wayne, Clint Eastwood type westerns.

I have heard of it going to a collector for as high as $300.00. It cost us over $40.00 a few years back to get a new boxed copy from Australia.

But, the good news might be the re-release of 3 Skulls from the developers at the time of (or shortly thereafter) the release of "The Westerner". Whether this actually happens or not is not certain, but Revistronic has mentioned the possibility.

Cheers,

Mr. Bill

Hi Guys..The Westerner is lookin' good. Sort of reminds me a bit, graphically, of "Toy Story."

Take a look at The Westerner right here!

This is great news! It looks alot like Escape from Monkey Island, which I am playing right now and loving!
I hope they re-release teh first one.. Seems kinda silly to release the second when no one has played the first! <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/woozy.gif" />

3 Skulls never found a publisher in the US. That is probably why it is so expensive in auction. Because it's hard to find.

I loved Three Skulls also a sequel is great news, this is the first time I heard about this one. Looks great. Thanks all for the info.

I always find it strange that many games that come out from Europe have either a main character who is American,it takes place somewhere in America or has a strong American theme and yet we here in the US can not get the games or they come out long time after they do in Europe

You just noticed? I thought I started a thread about this a while ago. And didn't you post a reply?

Ditlihi,

Check this out. Bazooka Sue, a German game by Carsten Wieland of Chewy Escape from F5 fame. Released in Germany but never in the USA though the setting is backwoods USA. Looks like fun. Too bad I'm such a language-challenged dit.
