10 Video Game Tutorials That Played Cruel Tricks On Players

A nostalgic gem that doesn’t get as much recognition as it deserves, Sheep Dog ‘N’ Wolf (also known as Looney Tunes: Sheep Raider) is a puzzle game which sees players take on the role of Ralph Wolf, as they figure out how to steal sheep from under the watch of Sam Sheepdog.

Players will spend most of their time sneaking around disguised as a bush and using items to solve increasingly complex puzzles to stealthily snag some sheep. There’s a lot to learn, but thankfully a very polygonal Daffy Duck is there to assist. And after the cartoon duck whisks Ralph to the set of the titular gameshow, it’s time for the tutorial.

Being a Looney Tunes game, the start of this tutorial is one big gag.

Players are greeted with three signs warning them not to play this game, with the final one instructing players to cross the white line in front of them to begin. Doing so, however, results in a cut scene where Ralph is hit by an anvil, run over by a van, and hit by a falling piano before players are met by a Game Over screen.

Thankfully, Daffy comes to our rescue and the real tutorial can begin.
