I played it when I was little. I distinctly remember trying to quickly ask my mom how to spell "syringe" before the timer ran out! I remember liking it a lot - renting it several times.

hah ... my friend and I play this all the time on the NES emulator on XBox. the game is fun as shlt with 2 people, but we always have to put it on the hardest mode where it doesn't show you how many letters or words the answer is.

seriously ... :thumbsup: :thumbsup: from me.

I have. They have this cool game called "Contra", and it's hella hard to beat. But don't worry. I read my recent issue of Gamepro and found a cheat code to give 100 lives!

Yeah, I played it when I was a little kid. Decent game. Helps you learn how to spell and such.

does everyone still remember the cheat code? It is forever engraved in my mind.

About Anticipation.. I definitely played it and still own it (though it's somewhere across the country right now).. I just can't remember exactly what it was about.

I think I still have a copy of this around, I don't remember if I traded it or not.

the contra code is famous. up up down down left right left right b a [and start to unpause].

anyway, when Wii comes out you could probably play it in all its nostalgic glory.

heh i wouldn't even consider it the "contra" code ... it's more of the Konami code. it worked for a handful of Konami games. only other one I can think of off hand is Life Force.

and it wasn't 100 lives ... it was 30 :p
