Great Episode! Little trivia : Waldo is known as Wally in most countries, except in France where it's Charlie, and Germany where it's Walter! Episode idea : I don't know if you will be able to do this any day, but in Europe we had a "Tintin in Tibet" for super Nintendo and Megadrive. It was a horrible game done by Infograme and not well known outside of Europe. If you can get your hands on these games, it could be fun!

[@raphaelturtle4146]

Typical Germany. No nonsense. Vhere is Valter? He is dhere. Sitting alone. Zhe end.

[@pokepress]

I actually came up with a rather mundanely plausible idea for a Waldo movie: Waldo is a travel vlogger who makes videos about places he goes to during his day job. His girlfriend also appears in his videos as “Wilma”, he has a friend dress up as “Wizard Whitebeard”, and a dog that shows up occasionally. Odlaw is an Internet troll who makes fun of Waldo on social media. Waldo has fans who dress up like him, equivalent to the Waldo Watchers in the books.

[@alexunitymist2973]

[@avideogamemaster]

I can't fathom the fact that this game was made and released, along with the NES game. I mean, a Where's Waldo game should have been a platform game, with levels, enemies and bosses, and this finished "game" should have been the bonus levels

[@FoxUnitNell]

I could only imagination that THQ thought in some regions that their release would count as an educational program and therefore be exempt from certain taxes so they knew that they could do a poorly done and easily programmed find waldo game so they figured that doing the least amount of work for the most dollars was the best strategy.

[@grinbrothers]

There were 'multiple' Where's Wally games... and they play like Where's Wally books. That is new to me. Fantastic video; the opening skit was terrific and I was in hysterics over the frequency of the Where's Waldo line.

How about the worst Shaq Fu game for both SNES and Sega?

[@baalfgames5318]

I don't know. I think that game gets a little more hate than it deserves. Don't get me wrong, it's a mediocre game at best, but in my opinion, it's just that. There are far worse fighting games, and I could actually see Shaq Fu being a guilty pleasure for someone.

[@hiltwo]

That Road Rash bit was awesome :D

[@ConsoleWars]

Thanks. It was a bit difficult but happy with the results

[@pokepress]

Basically, this is a game idea that needed HD to work. More storage would have helped too.

[@FoxUnitNell]

I think just a cd version of this (3do, sega cd, tg16 cd, saturn, psx) could have pulled this off just due to the better scaling from 16 bit games and about a 30 times the storage space. The ram itself and sprite abilites of these 24-32 bit systems could have allowed waldo and the relics to be placed anywhere on the screen and they could have created a title system to switch around the level a bit, especially for the land of waldo level.

[@pokepress]

@@FoxUnitNell that would probably be the bare minimum for a passable Waldo console game. If the console could run it in 480i mod and zoom in and out, it would probably be relatively playable. I’m guessing these games sold poorly enough that THQ didn’t want to make more and/or the Waldo folks weren’t interested.

@@ConsoleWars yeah, Odlaw was introduced to the series in 1991 in the poster book, Wario in Mario Land 2 in 1992. I’m sure Nintendo was influenced by characters like Bluto and Mirror Universe Spock, but I have to assume Odlaw gave a bit of a nudge in the direction they went.
