Credits 001-General Information ----------------------------------------------------------- This is a walkthrough for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) game called Anticipation. It's apparently based off a game I haven't played. I was completely lost in how to play the game. This may be hard for you, but not for me. I'm a Lost Gamer. I eventually figured out how the game works, and I'm going to tell you how so you don't have to waste your time like I did. If you have any questions or comments or anything like that, e-mail me at ilovecartoonssomuch@yahoo.com, but please make the subject "Anticipation" or just nothing at all, so I won't think it's just junk mail. Also, if you want to use part of it for your own commercial use, e-mail me and ask me first. I'll let you use it (I haven't denied anyone as of yet). So just do that instead of ripping me off (that would be bad). Okay, enough general information, let's play Anticipation! 002-Update Information ----------------------------------------------------------- As of 3/30/02, I'm updating this FAQ. A nice guy whose name is "Land Of Gamecubes" sent me some info. He was going to make his own FAQ on this game, and sent me in a lot of the Whatchamacallits that I missed, and pointed out a few mistakes (i.e. second chin should be double chin, sunup should be sunrise). I'm putting in his answers and making the approriate changes. Thanks, Land Of Gamecubes! As of 5/10/02, I'm updating this FAQ again. A dude named Dalez sent me some information, so I'm changing some things. Thanks to Dalez, but it wasn't very nice when he didn't reply to my e-mail...oh well. As of 1/3/03, I'm updating this FAQ again. Land of Gamecubes sent in more information, including the layout to level four and corrections to minor errors (I ommited a space somewhere, stuff like that). Thanks to Land of Gamecubes again! 003-How to Play Anticipation ----------------------------------------------------------- Anticipation is a one to four player game, with the pieces being high heels, a bugle, a teddy bear, and an ice cream cone. Choose the number of players, and computer players. Select your skill level and you start. You'll be on a board. There will be four different colors you can land on: yellow, green, blue, and pink. When you land on a spot, you get taken to a new area. A picture is drawn on this area, and when it is done, you have to spell out the name of the whatever the picture is of (if it is a picture of a rabbit, you spell out rabbit). In the upper right hand corner, a die will slowly move from six to zero. If you don't attempt to answer before it hits zero, you get another card. Otherwise, it will be on a number while you solve the puzzle. Remember this number because... After you solve the puzzle, this is the number of spaces on the board you move. If you know what the picture is before it is finished, you should stop the die if it is on a number you want. You move onto another level once you get at least one card of all four colors. 004-Puzzle Solutions ----------------------------------------------------------- 004a-Yellow Cards ----------------------------------------------------------- I put these in order of the level number first, but Dalez says: "The category placement for each of the different colored puzzles is actually random. For instance, a level 1 Yellow puzzle might be "Leisure" one time around, but it might be "Music" the next time you play." Here are the solutions to all the alphabet-themed cards: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Beta Delta Here are the solutions to all the man-made-themed cards: Building Bee hive Teepee Gate Factory Road Draw bridge Dog house Brick Well Door Windmill Hut Bridge Church Tombstone Palace House Stairs Control tower Window Igloo Pyramids Castle Here are the solutions to all the office-themed cards: Chair Pencil File cabinet Tack Chest Exclamation mark Lamp Quotation marks Paper clip Check Vase Television Money Question mark Marker Ruler Drawer Armchair Ink Stool 004b-Green Cards ----------------------------------------------------------- Here are the solutions to all the clothing-themed cards: Roller skate Glasses Buckle Sock Boot Necklace Zipper Top Hat Cane Viking Helmet Coat Shoe Bow Tie Pants Ice Skate Helmet Underwear Coat Hanger Tie T shirt Hat Crown Ring Here are the solutions to all the leisure-themed cards: Football Bowling ball Spade Club Diamond Heart Hook Beach ball Bat and ball Rowing Ball Fishing rod Goal posts Hockey stick Book Die Bible Kite Magic wand Cards Domino Pogo stick Balloon Boomerang Dart Skis Here are the solutions to all the science-themed cards: Needle Beaker Compass Telescope Microscope Timer Battery Camera Rocket ship Robot (hey, it's R2D2!) TV camera Magnet Ton Weight Telephone I serioiusly missed a lot of these (I'm not a science guy) so send in the ones I missed, and I'll credit you for it. 004c-Blue Cards ----------------------------------------------------------- Here are the solutions to all the math-themed cards: Square root Cube root Plus Minus Multiply Divide One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight Nine Equals Pi Star Line Triangle Square Circle Cube Compass Calculator Here are the solutions to all the miscellaneous-themed cards: Space invaders Snowman Flag Crack Hot dog stand Cross Dumbell Drop Horseshoe Toothpaste Here are the solutions to all the tool-themed cards: Nail Rake Flashlight Plug Light switch Screw Wrench Pump Anchor Key Drill Clothespins Pocket knife Ladder Watering Can Iron Fire Extinguisher Lock Screwdriver Shovel Balloon Spray Can Hammer Wheelbarrow Scissors Paint brush Nut Pick axe 004d-Pink Cards ----------------------------------------------------------- Here are the solutions to all the natural-themed cards: Lightning Giraffe Volcano Crab Whale Tree Dog Butterfly Swan Spider Mushroom Cat Xmas tree Worm Bat Dinosaur Leaf Horse Penguin Mountains Elephant Ladybug Shell Dolphin Skull Cloud Moon Sun Rain Fish Saturn Duck Turtle Snake Mouse Shark Eagle Pig Snail Here are the solutions to all the food-themed cards: Popsicle Candy Sausage Cake Cheese Pineapple Banana Soda pop Pear Can Olives Hamburger Apple Sandwich Bread Cupcake Here are the solutions to all the whatchamacallit-themed cards: You solve them using logic, for instance, one that looks like this: W I S H _/\_ \ / //\\ Is wish upon a star (the wish is upon the star) Over the moon Wish upon a star Get on the move Weather forecast Bow and arrow Crossroads Paddle in the sea Blue moon Space invaders Back breaker Peter Pan (Thanks to Land of Gamcubes and Dalez for this) Sunrise Ear ring Man in the moon Fancy dress Totem pole One in a million Double chin Wide awake Crab apple Jack in the box Fork in the road Dinner Time Clothes line Feline Maple leaf Hot dog Lightweight Captains log Hole in one Greenhouse Four eyes Tea Leaf Cliff hanger T bone Yellow brick road Over the hill Sugar lump Clever clogs Here are the ones that Land Of Gamecubes sent in: Address Book Ball Point Pen Banana Split Be Seeing You Big Bad Wolf Big Ben Canine Cartwheel Chain Saw Deep Freeze Dinner time Double Chin Father in Law First in line Goosebumps Grasshopper Greeting Card Grown Up Half Baked Half Price Handle with care Hop scotch Happy home High IQ Humpty Dumpty Ice Cube Jumping Bean Just in Case Letter Box Look behind you Looking Good Man Power Mayday Merry Go Round Once upon a time Pea Shooter Ring leader Ring Pull Seeing stars Sledge hammer Sleeping bag Sock it to me Stitch in Time Swan Sweet heart Tea time Terminal Three wise men Tiny Tim Tulips Two peas in a pod Very overgrown Watchdog Wide open Wishing well 005-Level Pictures ----------------------------------------------------------- These are simply pictures of the levels with Y for a yellow space, B for a blue one, G for a green, P for a pink one, and S next to the one you start on. Level One: GYP B B P G S-Y Y G P B B PYG Level Two: Y G P B B P G S-Y Y G P B B P G Y Level Three (The F's are Feature cards, which let you go to another card of your choice): F P Y B G G S-B Y P P F F YGB Level Four: There is a four level, but I got rid of the game so I can't put it up here. Dalez says: "There are actually four levels to the board -- however the fourth only exists in either Hard or Very Hard mode. It's pretty nasty; there are holes that dump you back down to level three if you happen to land on them. Ouch." Thanks to Dalez. Hey, guess what? Land of Gamecubes sent in the layout for level four. Cool! "h" stands for a hole. It's pentagon-shaped, so ignore that space on the top. F P h h G G S-B Y h h F F YhB 006-Game Genie Codes ---------------------------------------------------------- If you're not using your NES, put these in the screen that pops up when you press F6. Since there's only three codes, you shouldn't have much of a problem deciding on which ones to pick. I recommend codes one and three. ZUUPYNPP More time to answer questions YEUPYNPO Less time to answer questions AANZATEG Infinite chances 007-Cheat ----------------------------------------------------------- Here's the solutions to the secret puzzles. When you land on a feature square in level three, press the A button many times rapidly to reach the puzzles. Shoes puzzle (the theme is WEAPONS! Those crazy programmers!): Sword Dynamite Whip Bullet Rifle Missile Sickle Musket Crossbow Scythe Bomb Nunchukas Dagger Arrow Billy club Helmet Slingshot Pistol Spear Mace H bomb Axe Gun Shield Bow Cannon Here's more information from Dalez: "I have a theory that the "secret puzzles" are actually a bug in the game. The category for it is random as well, but you'll notice that there's no music and that it always says "Shoes Puzzle" no matter who lands on it. I've also had the game actually freeze a couple times when hitting that type of puzzle. One would think if it was a secret it'd at least say "Secret Puzzle" or something... ;)" Thanks to Dalez again. 008-Credits ----------------------------------------------------------- This FAQ is copyright of The Lost Gamer, 2002.
