Is it good? Is it bad? Is it ugly? Looney4labs cowboys up and rides roughshod through the Old West, looking for gold, rescuing a redhead and taking potshots at the outlaws.

This reminds me of Freddy Pharkas Frontier Pharmacist.


It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.

Thanks Becky!

Thanks Becky for the link & Looney4Labs for an interesting review. thumbsup Despite all the problems of the game the main disppointment for me was the very short length of it & the abundance of cut scenes in place of actual gameplaying. smile

Familiar graphics, great music, it looked so promising. I managed the timed sequences and a few shootouts but like Becky I cannot complete the game (yet) as the final shootout is more difficult and the controls are not good enough. Don't think I'll ever finish the game without a detailed walkthrough of the last shootout. After such a short game I almost lack the incentive to finish it. I have to say that the earlier shootouts were easier than the shooting gallery in The Westerner, in my opinion. So for me it's a short game with a difficult final sequence, but now I own 3 Fenimore games, I'd certainly buy the next one.

Hi aretha -- the review is by Looney4Labs -- I just announced it, that's all. I haven't played Revenge yet, though I did enjoy the second game in the series: WANTED: A Wild Western Adventure.

Hi Looney4Labs smile

Thanks for your (as always) excellent review grin

Sadly it serves to confirm my doubts about the game - which I won't be buying frown

But :easter: to you and to ALL gameboomers everywhere !!

Cheers.

Is The Bad, The Ugly and the Sober a Fenimore Fillmore game?

After a long long search headscratch I finally obtained 3 Skulls of the Toltecs several years ago and really enjoyed it. thumbsup Then when Wanted came out I played it right away (was disappointed in the shooting stuff) shame and now, it seems that this game has more of the things I don't like and less of the things I do like. Oh well......

Sure wish someone (like Al Lowe) was able to redo Freddy Pharkas with modern graphics. I know it's only a dream but it would be awesome. yay

I laugh because you're all the same

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.
