Wally o Sagase! (ウォーリーをさがせ!) is a 1992 arcade game by Sega for the Sega System 18 tying into the Where's Wally? (Where's Waldo? in the US) media franchise. It is only known to have been released in Japan, however most people use the translated name Where's Wally!; whether or not there was an overseas release is unknown.

Gameplay

You use a trackball to find Wally in a number of different ways (catching him in an animation, finding him in a door, finding him with only a small portion of the screen visible at a time, etc.).

History

Development

The game started development around October 1991, when Sega AM3 department manager Hisao Oguchi approached new director Juro Watari with the idea of creating a game based on Where's Wally?.[2] The game was originally suggested by Oguchi's daughter, who was fan of the books.[2][3]

Legacy

The game was the subject of a tournament held at Sega headquarters on August 8th 1992, created by Sega and gaming magazine Gamest (the fifth annual tournament in this partnership). Because the game doesn't have a high score system, a scoreboard was created exclusively for the tournament[4].

According to Watari, the game's trackball was later reused in the release of SegaSonic the Hedgehog.[5][6]
