I just finished Sierra's Freddy Pharkas. What a game! I had a great time with it, although the solution to some of the puzzles were too farfetched for me.

Spoiler:
No clue for the snails problem, other than talking to the barman and why would you do that. The church key as a bottle opener? Man, I hardly noticed those pixels! Worst of all was shooting the nitrous oxide from the gazebo of all places, I would never have figured that out in a thousand years.

But everything else was oozing the famous Sierra/Lowe/Mandel quality.

Superb voiceacting, two excellent narrators, hilarious writing. Loved the "bloopers" in the credits. It was an eyeopener for me that Gilbert Goodmate apparently got the idea for its funny "bloopers" (the one thing I liked about this mediocre game!) from Freddy Pharkas, including comments about animals injured.
