The Adventures of Willy Beamish

Anecdotes
The game's villain, Leona Humpford, is an obvious parody of real estate investor Leona Helmsley, who was convicted of tax evasion in 1989. At one point in the game, Leona explains her responsibility to "little people", a reference to the "Only the little people pay taxes" quote that was attributed to Helmsley. Also, Leona Humpford's husband, like Helmsley's, was named Harry.

The time: 1991; the mind warped by this game: mine

It took me years to find this game on the PC (I purchased the Sega CD version, but neglected to get the system!), but once I did, I snapped it up instantly, and was somewhere close to heave. Why? Because this game, while a bit on the short side when put alongside today's computer games, is an absolute blast. Bitingly Funny(although dated, I love the Leona Helmsley parody) and with highly memorable characters, this game is a winner.

Now if you'll excuse me, I've gotta keep up with my Nintari practicing.
