The Adventures of Willy Beamish

1991 · Sega Genesis/Mega Drive · Dynamix

The Adventures of Willy Beamish is a graphic adventure game developed by Dynamix and published in 1991 by Sierra On-Line. The player takes on the role of the eponymous youngster in a game that somewhat parodies the adventure genre. The game pioneered the use of in-game graphics drawn to resemble classic hand-drawn cartoon animation. It was initially released for MS-DOS and the Amiga and was ported to the Sega CD in 1993. CD versions of the game complemented the in-game text with speech and included a few other cosmetic changes. A sequel was reportedly planned starring Willy Beamish as a late teenager, but the project was canceled. Synopsis from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA.
