The Great Waldo Search (USA)
The Great Waldo Search is a video game released in 1992. It is based on the third Waldo book, which was originally released under the same name in North America.
The pictures are slightly animated images of Waldo scenes, the player has to scroll along the long picture to survey the scape while searching for Waldo and other objects. The directional buttons control a magnifying glass and is used in order to "find" objects. Waldo's dog Woof is also in each level and by finding him the player gets to play a small bonus game to collect points while controlling Woof on a flying carpet.
The graphics of the Sega and Super Nintendo versions are vastly improved from the original NES version, but the levels and gameplay remain the same.
