History VideoGame / TheAdventuresOfWillyBeamish

* AdultFear: Being unceremoniously fired from your employment without warning, when everybody (including your whole family) was safely assuming you'd be promoted instead, and your position given to someone younger.

''Willy Beamish'' is very under-the-radar game if there ever was one, with very adult humor. If you should happen upon the game, count yourself lucky and give it a try.

* UnwinnableByMistake: During the sequence where you are trying to rescue your frog, the puzzle with Chef Childish is based on your system speed, so if your computer is too fast, you won't be able to complete the puzzle. [=MoSlo=] or UsefulNotes/DOSBox to the rescue here.

* GameWithinAGame: Willy's Nintari has a ''Monster Squad'' cartridge in it that can be checked out via clicking on it. In the PC version, it's relegated to a cutscene of a generic monster-themed [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] clone; in the Sega CD version, it's fully playable and consists of a weird cross of ''VideoGame/SpaceInvaders'' and ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}}''.

* UnwinnableByDesign: This being a Creator/{{Sierra}} game, there are numerous ways you can [[LostForever leave something behind]] or otherwise screw things up.

* TheBGrade: Willy has all A's and B's, but somehow the C grade he got is a huge deal that he's afraid to show to his parents.

* ValleyGirl: Tiffany Beamish.

* ShoutOut: The game also has plenty of these.

* StandardizedSitcomHousing: Despite not being a sitcom, the Bemish Residence matches most of the traits listed.

** Sheila Beamish. She wears tight fitting pants, [[BareYourMidriff has an exposed midriff]] and looks [[HotMom good for a mother of three children]].

--> ''What if you could be 10 years old again, knowing everything you know now?''

A Creator/{{Sierra}} AdventureGame from 1991 that ended up ported to Sega CD a year later. It tells the story of Willy, a typical '90s kid who is all set for the summer, particularly a [[BlandNameProduct Nintari]] game tournament. However, a last-minute bad grade gets Willy's gaming privileges revoked, keeping him from practicing. This little setback is minor compared what is to come as Willy tries his best to get to the competition.
