For example, on a few occasions Sam will attack anything that enters his area indiscriminately if there are too many or too few sheep in there. The various gadgets range from an electric fan to a sheep costume, and certain levels have special situations. This basic concept is fantastic for a game, and gets highly expanded upon in the later stages. The goal is deceptively simple: Ralph must employ sneaking and gadgets to steal a sheep without being spotted, and then place it in the designated white circle on the ground to complete a level. What separates the inconveniently named Sheep, Dog 'n' Wolf (also slightly less awkwardly but more embarrassingly known as Sheep Raider in the home of the Yanks) from the majority of cartoon-based games is its originality: it's unlike nearly everything ever, since the core idea of having to steal sheep from the ever-vigilant Sam is intact, meaning that this is primarily a stealth and puzzle game and secondarily a platformer.
A historical moment indeed for both cartoons and video games.
Countless years later, the fine people at Infogrames constructed a game for the Playstation based on the original programme. Perhaps you recall the amusing Sam Sheepdog and Ralph Wolf cartoons? The simple tale of a wolf intent on stealing sheep from a flock guarded by a silent, seemingly blind but extremely strong dog allowed for many entertaining scenarios. But every once in a while we get something special. The problem is that almost all of them end up being utterly bland platformers, usually ripping off something like Mario 64 or Spyro. Each level also has a punch clocks, usually in a hidden area, they acts just as an extra collectible.The sad fact is that most games based off of cartoons are at best presentable and at worst stylish coke glass mats.
