Pharmacy is a Dr Mario clone. Strangely, the included docs only reference Tetris: "Pharmacy is similar to Tetris, only more addictive." This game was released about four years after Dr Mario, so there's clearly some influence there. Maybe they were hoping Nintendo wouldn't mind as long as they didn't mention Dr Mario? Anyways, the goal here is to match four of the same color pill segments/viruses to clear them from the well. Once you get rid of all the viruses you move to the next level. It plays fine, and looks decent although pretty plain. (There are some graphical glitches related to the mouse, but it may be a DOSBox issue, and it doesn't affect the gameplay.) There are some minimal options, and you can even play a simultaneous two-player game which is a neat feature.
