I added megadrive/genesis "haunting starring polterguy" since the more difficult level the family own a dog and are less afraid of ghost. The devs nailed it!

I'm certainly not a dog, but was called so by our stupid and ignorant neighbour on more than one occasion. If you feel like counting Raquel's opinion, and I sure wouldn't, here's a few more starring yours truly:

Add & Subtract With ALF (1988) - IBM, APPLE
ALF - The First Adventure (1987) - Commodore 64, Apple II, IBM, Atari ST
ALF (1989) - Sega Master System
ALF's U.S. Geography (1988) - IBM, APPLE
ALF's Thinking Skills (1988) - IBM, APPLE
ALF's World of Words (1988) - IBM, APPLE
ALF's Party Kit (1988) - IBM
ALF: The Defender of Earth (2000) - Windows

But in all honesty I would rather talk about cats. It's always a pleasure to see them too! And boy they are central to our health. Ha!

Ugly alien mutant things don't count. Otherwise we would have to include Quake II with it's weird alien/dog tongue monsters.

And what about all the games with werewolves, like Knight Lore. Let's keep this focused on real actual dogs.

Is this too much voodoo?

It's an odd dog but it checks out.

I noticed a dog in the isometric boringly long intro of "Landstalker - The Treasures of King Nole" on the megadrive. So I'll add that to the list with your contribution : digger, leileilol and clueless1. Thanks

I've had to send Dogmeat away in Fallout 4 because his helpful barking was upsetting our recently adopted (IRL) greyhound 😋

wolfus then this creature is probably not a dog, case closed.

Unkknown Nomad : thanks I'll add both game to the list.

on my part I heard that you could train a dog and skyrim and I was surprised no one sayd it. Also I got interest into police quest: swat 2 and I see you can work with some police dog (german shepherd). So I'll add three dog to the list this week.

badmojo: can you youtube that so I can test my Siberian husky/Labrador retriever reaction on that, but I think he lost interest into multimedia since he turn 5.

Kingdom O' Magic is a hilarious and (IMO) highly underrated adventure game from 1996 that parodies some well-known fantasy stories, myths and characters, mostly those from Tolkien's works. The game features quite a few memorable NPCs, one of which is a dog named Timmy.

(Also, I noticed you spelled "king quest 3" incorrectly on your list. It's actually "King's Quest III". )
