Play Anticipation (Europe) Online
You draw absolute garbage with the D-pad while friends scream wrong answers at the screen—half the fun is watching your "cat" doodle get mistaken for a toaster. The pixelated host side-eyes your artistic crimes the whole time.
Game Overview
Anticipation on the NES is basically Pictionary if it were made by someone who really loved board games and chunky pixels. You take turns scribbling vague clues with the D-pad while everyone else yells out wild guesses—half the time, your masterpiece looks more like a blob than whatever it’s supposed to be, and that’s where the chaos kicks in.
The game’s got this weird charm, from the digitized host who looks like he’s judging your artistic failures to the way the board fills in as you move. It’s definitely a "more players = more madness" kind of game, but even solo, there’s something oddly satisfying about trying to outwit the clock with your questionable doodles. Just don’t expect modern polish—this is pure, janky late-'80s fun.
If you’ve got friends who won’t judge your lack of drawing skills (or who’ll lean into the absurdity), it’s a solid pick for a retro game night. The music alone will haunt your dreams.
