Fiendish Freddy's Big Top o' Fun

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.

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.

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.

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.
