Willy
Willy
Hi guys,
Did anyone here ever played the game "Willy", from Oric France?
I never managed to finish the 1st level, but maybe I miss something as I don't have instructions.
I've put the game to this (very) temporary place:
http://mercenarysite.free.fr/oric/willy.tap
(should upload it some day to Oric.org).

If twilighte reads this sentence, i think he will laugh ... It reminds me a ceo meeting, when Twilighte explains something about Willy
Oh hang on, i think there were two games called Willy. One much older game and the last Loriciels game? or at least i seem to recall it was some software house's last production for the Oric.
Willy (the game i am thinking of) is where you start in a cave system, and as you progress so the walls and ceilings collapse revealing new passage ways to the flowers (sounds like the same drug induced stuff as zebulon was). Anyway i found the first level nye impossible to finish and only managed on a few occasions to reach the second screen where your faced with some sort of buzzard flying over and you must make a leap to faith to be carried accross the rivine by it. All very silly stuff.

According to The Story So Far, it was the last Oric International (ie Oric in France) release. There are caves and flower indeed, and I'm stuck to the first level, worse than you lol.Twilighte wrote:Oh hang on, i think there were two games called Willy.

Could it be even more "the-right-pixel-at-the-right-time" than Damsel In Distress?

No less so but it is more "the right direction at the right time" sort of game with no going back if you make a mistake.
Play Zebulon instead Symoon, it is much more fun and still supports the psychadelic flower collecting drug induced frenzy type idea.
I was sure Willy had copy protection. I remember playing it on the real oric and trying to DIR the disk and got errors. I remember trying under RANDOS and Sedoric.Dave3622 wrote:I can't help but think this version is bugged (maybe it's some kind of copy protection from when the game was transfered from disk to tape?).
But to be sure potentially a true classic game on the Oric that was sadly let down by its impossible difficulty level (just like Damsel in Distress).

It seems impossible to grab hold of the hook, I've tried everything imaginable but to no avail.

To catch the hook you simply need to take a running jump at it from the middle platform. It's incredibly easy once you know what you're doing.
