Anticipation is a bit of a NES curio; it’s a board game you can play on your console. Which begs the question, why not just play a board game? Anyway, after looking at this box for all of six minutes the answer should be clear: apparently this game has the power to make you and your badly dressed friends pull excitable face expressions at the hit of a start button. The game is basically a board game of ‘join up the dots’ and the ‘anticipation’ comes from of knowing what easily distinguishable object you are going to asked to draw and then seeing your jerky friends act like jerks while they guess the answer. Brilliant. Check out the guy at the front who looks a little like Garry Shandling, he is taking a simple game of ‘join the dots’ far too seriously? Oh and why’s that girl in the middle waving at the television screen? Ignoring her hair and attire for a moment, perhaps she is a prophet bringing us a message that in the future people will be able to play games of this type by simply waving their arms and performing wild hand signals? Oh and why is it there always seems to be a blonde guy in red spectacles pulling a goofy face in these types of images? Anyway, that’s all we have to say about Anticipation.
