Willy the menace.


<span class="bold">The Adventures of Willy Beamish</span>, a comedy point & click adventure about the lovably obnoxious kid we've all dreamt of being, is now available, DRM-free on GOG.com!

Willy is a typical nine-year-old rascal of the 90s': He's got a rad tree house, a frog sidekick, mad skateboarding skills, and an all-around mischievous disposition. The summer vacation is just around the corner but before he gets to enjoy it, Willy must handle the school bully, regain his video gaming privileges, and even save the town from a foul-smelling catastrophe.

Never actually played this back in the day, but saw it around. Am glad to see it here. Solid classic.

Much appreciated, but why the week off for Hidden and Dangerous?

I guess Rise of the Dragon and Heart of China will follow the game?

Is this the Floppy or the CD version of the game?
The "talkie" CD versions of the game, besides adding voice actors, extend the game's introduction and replaced the still character portraits with animated versions. The voice actor who plays Willy Beamish is Michael Zibelman. Additionally, while the floppy PC version offered the option of MT-32 sound and music, the CD version eliminates that option, leaving only Soundblaster and Pro Audio Spectrum as sound options.

Man, I remember when I saw this in reviews back in the day. It looked so good on those magazines. I never did play it though when it was originally released. I did manage to get my hands on it not so long ago and I must say the game itself was pretty disappointing.

In many ways it plays out like some sort of prototype for Telltale games, but with a difference of that it's just badly designed and shouldn't have been pushed to stores yet.

It's both :) You can choose which one to play after starting the game :)

Nice release, I'll pick it up during a sale.
I think I remember the game freezing on me back in the day.
Still, it was cute.

Thanks GOG and Activision! I'm glad to see we're still getting Activision classics. Besides adventure games there is also Outpost 1 & 2 to release: https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games#search=outpost

Hell yes!! I've wanted another crack at this one for a very long time! Great adventure game in a setting not nearly common enough in gaming: a small town from the perspective of a kid. The only other game like it that I can think of is Rockstar's Bully?

Oh wow that looks awesome. Unfortunately I guess it was only a Windows title (like Shivers) so GOG might have trouble with compatibility issues. :-/

Plus we could still get the early Call of Duty's; I hope the lack of those being here isn't some reason like GOG trying to be hipster and saying "Call of Duty is so mainstream now, do we really want those on our shop?" :P I assume that isn't a reason since Call of Duty would sell very well I think.

GOG why didn't you include the busty nurse in your screenshots? ;-)
