Wild Woody is a game for the Sega CD that was released just before the death of the system by Sega of America in 1995. The Entertainment Software Ratings Board gave the title a "Kids To Adults" rating. While the game quickly went into the bargain bins, it has since become something of a rare collector's item.

[edit] Storyline

Wild Woody is the name of a normal pencil that has been sitting in the desk of a famous treasure hunter ("Dusty"). After one of his hunts, Dusty brings back a magical totem pole with six heads and leaves it in his office. Later that night, five of these heads proceed to come alive and create all sorts of destruction and chaos in the world. The remaining totem head quickly looks around for a hero and finds the pencil. The totem pole puts life into the pencil and sends him on his quest.

As Wild Woody, you must venture through various side-scrolling action adventure levels in order to put the totem heads back where they belong and save the universe. You would extinguish your enemies by means of your eraser, located on the buttocks. Certain puzzles in the game required Woody drawing something, such as a paper airplane, on piece of paper. He would then proceed to fly across a large body of water.

Wild Woody can also be recognised for its sound track, composed by Ron Thal A.K.A. Bumblefoot.
