Willy Beamish the new telltale survey and Sierra games..
So the new telltelle survey is up and they seem to list interest in buying old serria games, like king quest, space quest in it. They ask you what games you think they should buy put simply, it is obvious they are.
but you know what they did not list that is a Sierra Entertainment game.... The adventures of Willy beamish that game was just as awsome as king quest and space quest I even liked it better.
Was a PC CD-rom and SEga cd port..
Telltale should buy the rights and bring it back. It ha to be cheep to get a hold of. It would make a nice episode game since it was like a Saturday morning cartoon like nickelodeon Doug but funny...Doug was not that funny...
The 2nd willy beamish game got canned in 1994 like the lucasarts Sam and max game a while back, =/. It was his teenage years The page that showed it is not there anymore though.
This game needs be brought back as an episode styled game, if you have not tried it you should...Remember the jokes are from 1993 though.

I remember struggling to kill the bat, until i found out the vacuum cleaner helped suck him. And his weird sister Tiffany (i think). Everyone remember his dad Gordon and his weird boss?
I also liked playing nintari and being so pumped on achieving 1st place with Horny the frog. OMG this game would be cool!
Day Two. Part 7 of a series of clips showing me playing through the PC CD version of Dynamix's (Sierra) computer game The Adventures of Willy Beamish.
It is Sierra!
To me, this seems like a pretty simple concept. And Everlast, no way it would outsell TOMI.
This sounds like it could be an ok setting for a game, but it would be just as easy (and cheaper) to start afresh with a new licence set in a school. It just looks so generic.
Generic now yes maybe, but so was King quest AKA some knight dude fantasy..yadayda space quest some buck rodgers looking dude.
In 1993 this game was spiffy and really how much would it cost Sierra and dynamix are dead, what are they going to do hold out for a million dollars to sell there rights? They won't.
it obviously will not look like the 1993 game, it would be updated.
and willy beamish is just fun to say besides a lot of people remember I am sure most are brittish since it had popluar run on the amiga.. But i just played the PC-CD rom and sega cd versions.
Oh and telltale listed LOOM in there survey as a choice....Who the hell remembers loom other than the Ad in monkey island? It's all out the window of dead generic games nobody knows about when you mention loom. IF they buy loom then they will buy anything.
You want to talk generic we can talk loom...(Note willy beamish way more Cool than loom.)
OH and the bat was a lot more easy to do on PC with a mouse than the slow SEga cd....But sega cd had that awsome CD music and nintari game.. it was worth having.
If it was legal I would pass the PC CD-rom and sega CD version out like candy to who ever wants it but it is not.

Also, Willy Beamish is also extremely linear and you do one thing wrong, you'll get punished for it later (like most Sierra games). Either way, it's the weakest of the three Dynamix adventure games, the others being Rise of the Dragon (a decent Blade Runner-style detective game), and Heart of China.
I loved Willy Beamish as much as you probably (I remember playing it on my Amiga, 12 disks plus the save disk, it had the worst disk juggling ever in a game - even more than Beneath a Steel Sky, which were on 15+1 disks). But to call Loom more generic than Willy is rather... wrong. That's not to say Willy was extremely generic though, it had its unique elements as well (don't test your father's patience too much, and be a good boy).
Oh except for The guy in the scumm bar telling me to buy loom on monkey island so I did and Found it to be really boring and forgettable. Nothing interesting about it really.
Lucas arts worst adventure game by far.
The dude telling me to buy Loom on monkey island left more of an impact.
Loom was like Myst clone in 3rd person (that i Also forgot and remember nothing about myst) with some guy in a gray cloak that looks like death talking about threads all the time.) in some fantasy settings..
New game blazing dragons....
You are allowed to have your opinion, but that doesn't make it a fact. However, it's a fact that Loom is pretty much unique and I don't think I've ever played or heard about a game that plays in the same way as Loom. Willy Beamish, however, is more of a Dennis the Menace character (only less of a menace). In other words, not unique at all.
Those are facts. Also, Loom is also pretty low on my list of favourite LucasArts games. Maybe you're just not a fan of slightly more serious adventure games? Also, Loom is like a Myst clone? Sorry, but you're obviously clueless.
Just thought I'd chip in here, since it seems like you guys were kind of talking at cross purposes. Sorry if my butting in seems uncalled for, it was kindly meant, I assure you.
Hey! Thanks for typing what I have in my mind, and also thanks for being the SINFUL, SINFUL person that most likely will get bashed and mocked because of these very thoughts, if ever.
Anyway, welcome to the forum, Cube. It's nice to see someone mention other, rather forgotten and underrated, adventure games from my Amiga days. Also, always wanted to play Blazing Dragons too, but I don't think it's as easy to get hold of these days.
You are talking about the most weakest, baddest display of graphic of all Lucas Arts. Loom wasn't a success in my view and in sales. Yes today it may be a different story, yes it's style of gameplay deviates from the usual Scumm engine. But still Willy Beamish was far more dynamic and refreshing than playing a guy in a hood and having a VERY linear story in Loom, too become a goose!?. I believe Willy Beamish was released a few years before than Loom, i liked the soundtrack (even though its quality doesn't stand a chance against Loom) As a matter of fact the story was far more complex and more engaging than Loom. In Loom you didn't have much to look forward meanwhile in the Willy Beamich game you had the games, the course of days going by, and stuff you had to do. The only drawback was that in the game you could easily loose. The truth is i felt more involved in the game of WB than in Loom and i enjoyed it more.
I recently played Loom, and i remember the feeling that when plying the game Loom went from interesting into "bleh", and Willy Beamish went from attractive for me, to wondering whats gonna happen next.
Bravo. Willy Beamish will always be one of those games that holds a dear place in my heart.
Wow, that brought back some memories. Of a pizza-making dragon whose parrot is dead.
He's not dead, he's pining for the fjords.
Wait, the parrot or the dragon?
Yeah, I'm a terrible Sierra fan.
The problem is that the cover doesn't have a spaceman on the cover. I would have totally played it if there was a spaceman.
Yes!!!!! I'll buy! This is a great game! I would buy any game similar to Willy Beamish. The colors and the homey environment is what captured lots of people. We have too many violent games out there. It's been overdone! We need something to play for fun and relaxation. I have plenty of games for heart pounding action. The Adventures of Willy Beamish, Space Ace, Maniac Mansion, Day of the Tentacle are amazing games we should see more games like this. In Willy Beamish the colors were crucial, very uplifting and fun to play. Like I mentioned before, we have plenty of violent games we need something relaxing and fun.
