Play Win Lose or Draw on nes Online

Win Lose or Draw came out on the NES in 1990, developed by Rare. It was part of that wave of game show adaptations that tried to capture the feeling of watching TV on your console. You and a friend, or you against the computer, would try to guess what was being drawn, just like the show.

You control a cursor to select your guess from a list or shout it out if you're playing with someone. The main goal is to guess the phrase before the timer runs out. The computer does the drawing, and its lines are famously clumsy and hard to decipher, which is where most of the challenge and laughter comes from. You earn points for correct guesses, and the game cycles through different rounds and categories. It’s not a difficult game in terms of skill, but the pressure of the clock and the awful drawings make it frantic. The whole experience feels like a silly, chaotic race against poorly rendered clues.
