Where's Wally, (we refuse to call him Waldo, how dare you) is a 1991 hidden object game where the goal is remarkably similar to the books of the same name - finding the red and white striped sweater wearing eponymous hide-and-seek world champion. The books feature large sprawling images with many intricate details and illustrations designed to make Wally hard to find, and in the NES version, well... an attempt was made. According to THQ this game was a hit, but it regularly tops "Worst NES Games" lists - some calling the graphics "atrocious".

Wally? Wally never changes. Thank God because he's hard enough to find as it is. In this gritty NES thriller, you are a secret agent for the IRS as you hunt down one of the worst tax-dodgers of all time - Wally S. Waldo. You will scour hi-res CCTV imagery for a trace of this fugitive in the hopes of making him pay for his crimes. Or something vaguely like that, we’re not sure truthfully. All we’re really sure of is… well…_ you’ve got to find Wally_. Oh and this thing looks quite hideous too; maybe that's the real crime here.

Developed by Beth-... BETHESDA!? Wow. Okay. Developed by Bethesda, there are eight levels in this sucker - made up of Picture levels that mimic the famous books the game is based on, and other types of gameplay that we won't spoil here - so you can enjoy them. Each level has a timer that gets reduced if you guess wrong, and there is no pause feature to ensure your Wallyhunt stays pure and uncheated.

The goal is to complete the game, and as fast as you can - with each completion, we crank up the difficulty. You can play on Practice if you really want to, but it's your own time you're wasting. We also know some of you clever so-and-so's might think of watching another Struggler's stream and memorising the locations of this elusive jumper-wearing fella - but don't worry, the game has in-built logic that randomises Wally's location each time the game is played! Endless replayability!

Scoring:

Hard levels complete > Medium levels complete > Easy levels complete.

Your usual 5 hours has been wittled down to a round 3, presumably to save the last frayed ends of your sanity, dear Struggler. You must begin on Easy and play only that mode until game completion - then Medium, then Hard in that order. After reaching the Moon, there is a screen where a vertical bar fills up, you may begin another playthrough once the bar is full.
