Platinado!
O mais difícil são os controles do emulador, o layout do celular é horrível.

Acho que demorei mais por causa disso, e por causa desse cachorro lascado do Waldo, sai daí pé duro.

A much better game compared to the other NES Waldo game, I wish the game was harder though.

#M252 How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old Waldo?

This game is a perfect middle ground between the original Where's Waldo NES release and the Great Waldo on the Sega Genesis. The size of the characters is perfected.
I will always love the Carpet Flyers for finding Woof, and it's even better with the highlighted boxes, as opposed to the bones that easily blended in.
The set adds some layer of difficulty that adds a lot to the game. Really great job Jamiras.
I hope the SNES release is just as great as this one.

This one hurt me more than the SNES, all my runs died on the end level more times than I'd like to admit.

I wish there was a Waldo game that used all of the books with the various people and items you had to find. There were some insanely detailed art with hundreds (thousands?) of characters.

Finding Waldo and the other principal characters was always pretty easy. The hard part was going down the list of specific events playing out on the pages and trying to find them all. If they made a game like that, a set for it would be so much more challenging and fun.

The game as it is... is extremely basic.

Mastery #139 (NES #12). Between the SNES, Genesis, and this version I think this one is best port. Still very easy hunt compared to the books but expert mode actually had me looking a bit. Also, my favorite set out of the three too! Thanks. Waldo what are you hiding from? Taxes?

My first Mastery ever! Revisited the game a few extra times to check out the clue challenges in each level. The Magic Carpet Ride was the most difficult achievement for me.

Master #252. You know it’s free points territory when the game’s more points than the time it takes to finish. Want to say I had some fun for the 30-40 minutes played, but obviously would’ve felt cheated even renting this back in the day.

Mastery #140~

Opposed to everyone else it seems, I found the NES version way harder than the SNES version... The scroll was really hard to see in the Waldo stages.
