Today, we have scene from Josh Mandel and Al Lowe’s Freddy Pharkas. Having never watched a western in my life (I might have watched The Good, the Bad and the Ugly at some point, but I can’t remember anything about it), the only jokes that didn’t go over my head were the fart jokes, so I can’t say that I really connected with the game. So I’ll leave the floor to you guys.

Duckman: Can you believe it? Five hundred bucks for a parking ticket?
Cornfed Pig: You parked in a handicapped zone.
Duckman: Who cares? Nobody parks there anyway, except for the people who are supposed to park there and, hell, I can outrun them anytime.

The main strength of Freddy Pharkas is a world that feels so alive, something that Al Emmo successfully mimicked years later.

Also - this Grin For those who don’t know, it’s Al Lowe himself singing it.

I remember in this game if you use your key to open the door to the pharmacy you got like half of the game’s points. There are always lots of great little 4th wall jokes like that in Sierra games. And we have Josho to thank for the catchy ballad!

Ah, the game that found its origins in the phrase “Do you want fries with that?”... Grin


One of my favourite Sierra games. While I played it so long ago that I only remember bits and pieces of it, some of its jokes have remained with me til this day.
And the chapter title “The plot sickens!” has been a part of my everyday vocabulary since I first played this game… Thumbs Up

Then at least you must have gotten the Lemmings/snails reference?

I don’t think I ever finished the game but that ballad got stuck in my head like no other game music
