Freddy Pharkas CD Demo

Freddy Pharkas CD Demo (or Demo 2) is a second playable demo released for windows around the time of the release of the Freddy Pharkas Multimedia CD version.
== Background ==
The demo contains some advertising and jokes by Al Lowe himself, including a closeup picture. Even clicking on the 'about' button in the settings menu gives an extra joke from Al Lowe. Al Lowe interjects himself into a number of places to point out that the game is a demo and you don't have access to various locations. If you wait around Al Lowe interjects himself to ask why you aren't playing, and explains what you need to do.
It allows access to screen with the school house, the saloon screen (outside and inside, the blacksmith screen, the bridge, and the desert outside of town. A number of characters from the game can be interacted with including the blacksmith, the sheriff, Billy, the doc, the bartender, and Srini. Whittlin Willie also narrates briefly.
The demo consists of one of the game's mid game puzzles of rescuing Srini from the ant hill. This is a simple matter of taking ladder from the playground (1 point), and using it on the anthill. Then the demo ends. You can also earn 5 points for buying some beer.
Once the demo is solved Al Lowe shows up one final to try to get the player to buy the game. Then the demo restarts again.
If it is installed without the sound files (or if settings have digital sound turned off) it will revert to onscreen subtitles similar to earlier floppy versions of the game.
