Adventures of Willy Beamish

July 7th 2008 02:24
Willy Beamish was first published in 1991 by Sierra Entertainment. The player takes on the role of nine-year-old Willy Beamish in a humorous graphic adventure that is somewhat of a parody of the adventure genre. The game pioneered the use of in-game graphics drawn to resemble classic hand-drawn cartoon animation.

Willy Beamish screen shot


Willy Beamish is introduced as a Generation Y brat archetype of early 90s, being the middle child in a typical American family, who is occasionally visited by his grandfather's ghost. He is obsessed with science fiction, console games and hanging out with his gang, while he is tormented by older school bullies, and his younger and older late-teenage sisters.
As the game begins, Willy Beamish is sent to detention on the last day of school; his pet frog "Horny" disrupted the final school assembly by dislodging the principal's toupee. This initial scene is a good example of the game's array of choices presented to the player: Willy can stay in detention until it is over, but then he won't get home in time to pick up the mail and intercept the report card that shows a "C " in Music Appreciation. To sneak out early, Willy must forge a hall pass and avoid the school bully.
Willy's ambition is to qualify for the national "Nintari" (a portmanteau of Nintendo and Atari) competition. This goal is quickly placed in dire jeopardy: his video game privileges are revoked. To further complicate the situation, Willy's father loses his job, the babysitter is a vampire, a street gang terrorizes the town, and a plumbers' revolt is on the horizon.
Besides failing to solve puzzles, a way to lose is with a score system called Trouble-O-meter. Doing things that will annoy his elders will raise the meter up. When it's filled, Willy is shipped off to military school and the game is over.

Players must guide the villagers through island life, improving conditions and technology, developing sustainable farming techniques and increasing the villagers' population. The game progresses in real time, even when the game is not running, with an hour of game time equalling six months in the villagers' lives. The game can be "paused" by the player.

Virtual Villagers - The Secret City is the third instalment in the series released in May 2008. In The Secret City an expedition, consisting of a young family and a few trained builders, is sent out from the western settlement to investigate the north shore of Isola. The explorers come upon the hidden ruins of an ancient city, where new challenges and answers wait for those who can learn to live in this strange new environment.

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis is a graphical adventure game, originally released in 1992 and published by LucasArts.
Indiana Jones fate of Atlantis cover

Fate of Atlantis featured three different paths to choose for completion of the central part of the game. At this point, during a dialogue sequence, the player can choose between: The Wits Path (Indy has to use his brains to solve problems), the Fists Path (lighter puzzles, lots of fist fights and action movie-like solutions to problems), and the Team Path (features Sophia Hapgood as a reluctant sidekick and part of many puzzles). Each path includes some new objects and locations, different characters and dialogue lines, and alternate ways to progress through the adventure to reach Atlantis. The player who finished all of the puzzles in all three paths and all of the alternative solutions, which requires multiple playthroughs) received the 1000 full IQ (Indy Quotient) score.

To play Indiana Jones, all you need to do is download the file from Dos Games Online here. You need to sign up for an account first but it's worth it.

Wicky Woo

November 23rd 2006 02:22
Wicky Woo is a classic platform game with all the ingredients needed to make it very addictive. The aim of the game is easy, destroy all the green blobs on each level in order to proceed to the next one. The controls are also simple, the arrows keys move you and climb ladders, while the spacebar or shift keys are used to jump.

Remember you need to land right in the middle of each blob to kill it. Also stay away from any nasties you may encounter
