I can't remember if I finished this or not. It's been at least 14 years since I played it.

Spoiler:
I have a memory of Horny getting eaten though. So I think I at least made it to the end game.

Hm, is that Pepper's Adventures in Time?

Willy Beamish, a game by Sierra if I'm not mistaken. It's a good game, but ran a little slow on my Amiga 500

I remember I ALWAYS wanted The Adventures of Willy Beamish but never was able to find it.

Any way to get it now?

GoT · 12-05-2006, 01:08 PM

i've never even heard of it... graphics look as if it'd be a real bitch to pixel hunt something.

Yes, but we're not allowed to talk about it here

Otherwise I guess you can check here or here.

It's actually a Dynamix game, but they got owned by Sierra.

[grammarnazi]Is that "they were owned" or "they got owned"? Because I'm picturing some sort of Counter-Strike battle between Dynamix and Sierra where they're all like "LOL I KEEL UZ" and "OMGLIEK TAK THAT" until it ends with Sierra blowing up all the Dynamix team members and sending the message "I PWNZORED JOO HAH".

[/grammarnazi]

How good is Willy Beamish, anyways? I'm interested in playing it (never have so far), but the art style puts me off a bit.

If anyone is still looking, you can play this game easily, and leagaly on Game Tap.

Good ol' Willy Beamish. A definite classic. Was there a talkie version by any chance?

Cold-Factor: Yeah, there was definitely a talkie version, I used to have it when I was a kid. I remember liking the game but I have never tried to get it and replay it because I have recently replayed some old Sierra games and I have been REALLY frustrated by situations in which you can get stuck because you didn't get a certain item earlier in the game. I don't remember if this was an issue for Beamish (I DO remember that you can "die"), but I don't think I'm willing to find out.

ATMachine: That "owned by Sierra" quote totally made me think of CS. Pwnd n00b.

Good to know, thanks. I might just track one down just to hear Willy's voice. I always imagined what it would be like, maybe now I'll know.

Good game, very underrated. Only a couple of dead-ends and arcadish sections made it a bit less enjoyable that it should.
