All right, boys and girls. You're in for quite a treat with Fiendish Freddy's Big Top O' Fun. We have not one, not two, but six , count 'em six, zany games of circus excitement. Yes, friends, a real sports-o-rama. Soon you'll be the talk of your neighborhood as you compete in the death-defying events in this circus extravaganza. And a word to the wise—watch out for that rascal of a saboteur, that do-er of dastardly deeds, that vindictive victim of the rare form of dementia known as circusus interruptus—the one, the only, Fiendish Freddy.

And now, from the home office in Northbrook, IL, here are the top five reasons why you should play Fiendish Freddy's Big Top O' Fun :

Number 5: Because this program contains not one, but two scantily-clad, fully-endowed babes.
Number 4: Because you can do this by yourself and not go blind.
Number 3: Because it will help stimulate the economy—particularly ours.
Number 2: Because we left circus tickets for Elvis at the will-call window.

And the number one reason...Because we offer breakthrough animation, dazzling graphics, slapstick, cartoon-style humor, and big time big top fun. And because we said so!

Not recommended

I bought the game in my quest to own legal copies of all the games I played in my youth, but I'd suggest modern players to stay away from this game. The graphics are a-OK for a 1989 PC game (that is, functional but surely not gorgeous), the PC speaker music is grating and the controls are not that smooth. Worst of all, however, is the not-adjustable and horribly hard difficulty of the game, that is guaranteed to offer you many hours of frustration. There are six mini games and to win you are basically forced to get a perfect score in at least five of them. However, you only have 1-3 lives in each game, after which you are forced to play the next one. This makes it very hard to get good in any of them, as one has not sufficient time to practice, and forces the player, more often than not, to continue playing in “walking dead” scenarios where they have no chance left to win the game. Three stars because 8-yeard-old me spent some time playing this game, so there is some entertainment factor. But nowadays, apart for nostalgia factors, there is simply no reason to approach it.

the sound

If it is the crazy PC sound the original had /likely/ it is not worth it. I remember this game from my old C64. The graphics were worse, yes, but the sound? Man, it was great! The PC version is unfortunately impossible to listen to.

Press F2

First, F2 will turn off the absolutely grating PC speaker "music" but leave the sound effects on. Other than that, all you'll need is the arrow keys and Insert. Second, read the manual. This is a mini-game collection and they aren't self explanatory. Once you understand what you're actually supposed to do, it's decently fun and simple enough that anyone can pick it up and try. GOG has this game filed under "Arcade" and that's honestly the best descriptor of the difficulty: I can very easily almost beat each game except for that one final step is nearly impossible in a way that, if this were an actual arcade game, I'd be frustratingly and addictively plugging entire mortgage payments of quarters into it. Bottom line, this isn't a game you're going to waste an entire afternoon on for it's riveting storytelling; it's a game you and some friends can crowd around the PC with a couple drinks and compete against each other for an evening and then forget about. Or fire it up for 20 minutes when you're just not sure what to play to crush some time.

No title needed

Can't say much. Controls are not easy and the mechanics need a lots of playing to get used to, but I like it this way. The sounds, however... I would rather listen to the old arcade Battlezone beeps-and-boops. But lovely. And nostalgic.

A disaster

The BGM that torments the mind.(Please turn off the game music) There is a chance of a sudden retreat while the game is playing. I'm glad I got it while it was free.
