Puzzles can cure any ailment.


<span class="bold">Freddy Pharkas: Frontier Pharmacist</span>, a satirical point & click Western by legendary designers Al Lowe and Josh Mandel, is available now DRM-free on GOG.com!

It's been awhile since Freddy hung up his gunslinging shoes and re-invented himself as a small-town pharmacist but trouble is brewing once again. Snail stampedes, diarrhea epidemics, gassy steeds, Poker thieves - there's a cure for everything, as long as you point & click at the right place. Or know how to make proper use of your silver ear.

Hmm, gog is on a roll this year. Nostalgia doesn't work for me in this case, but it seems to be highly desired oldie - always a good thing to have.

OUCH!
My poor point and click finger could need some rest.
But I don't care - Instabuy!

Experiment513: Yes, they are not even 3D. What do you know about 3D?
3D? its 3d and not 2d
imho the skins in 3d look like a basic 3d is used, and provided with some 'clothes' to create a robot, soldier, monster, make or female etc etc etc...

and i favor handrawn (no 3d) , pixelarts (no voxels)
cause thats the kinda games i 'grew up' with .

If i was able to play 3d i would only play The Witcher cause i like the settings, the medieval, and mystic settings, and i think it has one of the best visuals.

Well thats about it regarding 3d.

Looks like a westen themed Monkey Island wannabe. Which isn't a bad thing, really. I love point & clicks and not many are set in the Wild West. Wishlisted.

Finally now please add the Laura Bow games and Sierra's educational point and click adventure games would love to play Dagger of Amon Ra or Eco Quest again

Nice. And it also comes with some nice extras (hintbook, design documents). I still have the CD somewhere, but I guess I'll pick up a backup copy.

Wonderful news! Thank you GOG.

GOG, I'm curious: when you release an old game using DosBox, how do you decide if you're gonna offer Mac and Linux versions? I mean, most of the recent oldies are available for all 3 OSs (Pizza Tycoon, Ignition, Lost Eden(?), Constructor...), Freddy Pharkas isn't. Is it because of technical issues?

The manual IS important for this game, as far as I know. As a pharmacist you had to rely on the manual to make the medicines or something like that. Back in the day it also worked as an antipiracy measure, but as it's part of the gameplay, I imagine it's still in the game.
