IanAdventures 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 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.
