Everyone's A Wally

The adventures of Wally Week, videogame superstar, continue in the only game to come with a "hit" single on the B-side!

Wally, star of Automania and Pyjamarama, introduces the rest of his family and friends in this latest graphical extravaganza from the Mikro-Gen programmers.

You'll meet Wally's wife, the lovely Wilma, plus Tom the Punk, Harry the Hippy, Dick the Plumber and Herbert the baby - Wally's pride and joy.

Everyone's A Wally

Mikro-Gen claim this is the first fully animated interactive arcade adventure. You can control any one of the six characters - except baby Herbert - at any stage during the game. The object of the game is to help Wally open the safe in the bank in order to pay the game some wages. In order to do this, certain tasks have to be done and certain puzzles solved.

Each member of the gang has different characteristics and abilities - and you must decide which one can solve certain puzzles and complete certain tasks as you play the game.

Each character has three lives to begin with - and you must keep everyone "alive" throughout the game to succeed.

The graphics are excellent. The characters are drawn in true "cartoon style" and the backgrounds are packed with detail. As in Pyjamarama, Wally's latest adventure, the game includes both arcade style shoot-'em-up screens as well as arcade adventure sequences.

Everyone's A Wally will keep you busy for hours - and when you've solved it you can still admire the pretty graphics. The song, by Mike Berry, will have you humming along too - but, beware, prolonged exposure to the music could cause a severe case of terminal whistling!
