Unlike a standard platformer, the game incorporates stealth and strategy. The game is based on the popular [[Warner Bros.]] series of [[animation|cartoons]] ''[[Sam Sheepdog and Ralph Wolf]]''. Controlling [[Ralph Wolf]], the player must steal [[Sam Sheepdog|Sam Sheep-dog's]] sheep while navigating through a series of levels including two secret levels and a Bonus level. ==Plot== After another failed attempt at stealing a sheep from Sam Sheepdog, Ralph Wolf returns home after his shift to relax and enjoy some television in his chair. [[Daffy Duck]] bursts in and declares that Ralph is the newest contestant on the game show "Sheep, Dog, and Wolf" or as Daffy likes to call it, "Who Wants to Be a Sheep Stealer". Daffy drives Ralph to Acme Town where the game will take place, telling him not to screw up as his performance reflects on Daffy. During a training session, Daffy explains the rules of the game which are that Ralph will be provided with numerous Acme products that can be used to formulate a plan to steal Sam's sheep who must be placed in a designated goal (marked by a white circle) alongside Ralph perfectly unharmed. Ralph is then let loose in different environments to steal Sam's flock from him one sheep at a time assisted by Daffy who appears in different theme appropriate disguises. Several of the levels are based on classic [[Looney Tunes]] cartoons such as the level based on Chuck Jones famous hunting trilogy or a stage based on the backdrop of [[Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner]] shorts. During a later level, one of the goals is painted on a pirate ship's sail. Ralph uses a cannon to launch the sheep up to the goal and accidentally into outer space. The sail is ripped off the mast and surrounds Ralph which means that this scenario did not violate the rules for both the sheep and the wolf had been within the boundary of the goal. Ralph then continues to steal Sam's last remaining sheep and returns to the studio as the winner of the game. [[Marvin the Martian]] crashes through the studio ceiling and informs Ralph that the sheep he launched into space crash landed on Planet X and released an army of Marvin's Instant Martians. Marvin has already captured most of the army but there are still a group of ten who have managed to isolate themselves in dangerous locations. Marvin has his sidekick and pet dog K-9 grab Ralph and the three fly back to Planet X. Marvin provides Ralph with the necessary Martian catching equipment and he goes off to capture the remaining ten Martians, knowing that without doing so, Marvin will not return him to Earth. After facing several dangers, Ralph succeeds in trapping the last of the Martians and Marvin gladly returns him and the sheep to his home. Ralph takes the sheep inside and finds there is a lucky goal painted in the middle of the floor. He carries the sheep into the goal where it reveals itself to be none other than Sam who is about to beat Ralph for thieving his flock. It is at that moment that Ralph's alarm clock rings and he awakes in his chair, meaning that the events of the game were all a dream. Ralph then walks outside and meets Sam at the time clock ready to start another day of work. ==Characters== ===Ralph Wolf=== Ralph has been trying to steal sheep for years, but he has constantly been foiled by Sam Sheep Dog. He bares a striking resemblance to [[Wile E. Coyote]]. Ralph is invited onto [[Daffy Duck|Daffy Duck's]] TV game show, where the aim of the game is to steal Sam's entire flock. ===[[Daffy Duck]]=== Daffy is the host of the game show ''Sheep, Dog 'n' Wolf''. He also acts as the player's guide throughout the game, appearing in numerous disguises. He admits that he is only involved with the show until he becomes a super star. His motivations for assisting Ralph are less then noble as he knows since he found and trained Ralph, a bad performance from him will most likely lead to Daffy being fired. ===Sam Sheepdog=== Sam Sheepdog is Ralph Wolf's main enemy in the game, as the objective is to steal sheep from the flock which he is guarding constantly. As his sheep continue to disappear, his vigilance increases causing further difficulty for the player. ===Sheep=== Rather slow-witted, they tend to graze continuously, until they are attracted by something, usually lettuce or strong smells. As per rules of the game show, none of the sheep are harmed or eaten by Ralph Wolf. ===Minor characters=== * [[Road Runner (cartoon)|Road Runner]] - Appears in the training area as the player learns to use the running ability.
