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
[email protected], 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."

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.
