Play The Adventures of Willy Beamish Online

The Adventures of Willy Beamish came out in 1991 for MS-DOS, developed and published by Sierra On-Line. It was part of that wave of early 90s adventure games, with a cartoon look and a focus on humor and story rather than action or puzzles alone.

You control Willy, an eight year old boy trying to survive a week of trouble after being framed for a mishap with the family fish tank. The goal is to avoid being sent to military school by completing tasks, talking to characters, and making choices that affect how the story unfolds. You explore locations screen by screen, interact with objects and people using a verb-based interface, and manage a limited amount of time each day. The game has a steady pace, though some puzzles can be tricky or rely on timing. It feels like guiding a clever kid through one very long, very chaotic day after another.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
