Software Adventure Games - Nelly Cootalot

Description:

"Nelly Cootalot" is a classic style point'n click adventure in the tradition of the old LucasArts games.Here's what the developer wrote about the story:"Nelly Cootalot is a young pirate captain who meets her destiny when she comes face-to-face with the visage of the long-dead buccaneer William Bloodbeard.
Bloodbeard, once the scourge of the South Seas had a sideline in protecting cute and endangered birds.
He tells Nelly that the Spoonbeaks (a species of birds) of the Barony of Meeth have vanished.
Nelly must investigate and uncover nefarious goings-on in the small island community.The game offers you the opportunity to:- Rescue endangered and unusually named wildfowl- Acquire morally dubious items on behalf of minor aristocrats- Intercept the private correspondances of a daredevil pilot- Come to the aid of downtrodden supernatural beings- Be confused by Nelly's County Durham colloquialisms- Borrow facial hair from long-dead pirates- Wantonly misuse the word 'borrow'.""Nelly Cootalot" is incredible cute and funny! The graphics are beautiful drawn, the music by Mark Lovegrove fits the atmosphere and (most important for an adventure) all the puzzles are hard but well made and there are always hints, so you can solve them if you use your brain.
