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.

Uhh . . . GOG? Did you forget some text at the end? :P

(Talking about the signature text “~witty phrase~, DRM‐free on GOG.com.”)

Another old game i have never heard of before. And after a quick look it seems that i didn't miss anything. :D

Some of those might sell well at 5.99 on their own. (I was bundling together late 80s/early 90s ones that might not be worth 5.99 by themselves) But it's fun theorizing. :)

I wonder if GOG could get Shivers running on modern machines, since it's not a DOS title.

Was gonna beg for this one but I was scared I'd get a huge... rejection...

Here are some extras:

The Ballad of Freddy Pharkas
Closing Ballad of Freddy Pharkas

Nice addition. Thanks, GOG. Interestingly, a (very aged) website dedicated to Freddy Pharkas still exists.

muntdefems: I'll probably purchase it nonetheless and try to fiddle with DosBox myself to make it work.
Or maybe you could import the game into ScummVM instead. It's supposed to have excellent compatibility according to their list. It's too bad that Activision doesn't seem to care about anything other than Windows.

Of course! How could I forgot about ScummVM, with this being a point'n'click adventure! Alright then, I might consider getting it some day. :P

Where would Willy Beamish fit into all of this, in terms of release date, popularity, etc.?

Oh Willy Beamish... a game I really enjoyed.

This.
I personally recommend this reading, PassiveZombie dude.
Had a similar experience with Gametap and this game, too.

C ya!

I've been waiting for this release for a long time. It gives me hope for Blizzard. Yeah, yeah, Battle.net, blah, blah, but I just feel it in my bones that this is all leading up to Warcraft, StarCraft, Diablo and more finally making their way here.

Wow, this game has the best menu sliders

I think there are legal issues, but here's hoping Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom shows up by summer time! My hope is that GOG simply doesn't want to blow their "super-desired Activision" too soon since we just got SWAT 4 which had 15,000 votes, and that Emperor will happen in a month or two, but we should know better than to get our hopes up. Plenty of other Sierra/Activision titles can appear here! (Hell, where are the first couple Call of Dutys? Before it became a cash grab they were great games, and even after it was a cash grab some were still good games.)

The classic i assume cause imho the latest versions are not the games that started it all, the fun the excitement.
Bigger and modern engines/graphics alone dont create a good game.

First old diablo, then diablo2 + exp.
same goes for the classic c&c and red alert , imo the best of them al by far, the 3d engine are ugly, its just another 3d game skinned with a cNc and red alert units look, the classic might have bitmaps which overlapped, but these games had it all, the new versions just dont cut it.

Classic versions rule.
