The Adventures of Willy Beamish

(Dynamix, 1991)

This graphic adventure game, when first made, was a revolution in computer game animation. Newer games may have exceeded what this game inspired, and there's also the possibility that its cartoonishness provoked Sierra's downward spiral, making all its games resemble Saturday-Morning Cartoons (even Leisure Suit Larry 7...eeesh!). Still, this game about a young boy against a not-so-evil villain, was a fun title in its day.
