What Pothead is
Pothead is a point-and-click game developed by Happy Capitalist Productions and released in 1996. It is available on Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows).
The premise, in the publisher's words
So, we made this surprisingly controversial CD-ROM about Marijuana and Marijuana smokers. It took over a year to make it, with contributions from well over 100 people. Pot smokers, artists, hemp activists, musicians, bullshit artists, stoned freaks, comedians, and idiot savants. Not surprisingly, it's about much more than just marijuana. Pothead is a place, and the thing to do is explore. It's a game, of sorts, but much more than that. Have fun! You'll find things. A lot of things. All of which, not coincidentally, have something to do with cannabis - marijuana, hemp, hash, pot.
How it plays
It is played from a first person perspective. Its themes are comedy. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component.
What it launched against
