Pat visits the local game store and plays the NES family board game Anticipation!

    Not bad. I’ve played Anticipation, and it’s the epitome of “The computer cheats!”.

    The timing is off at both the dialogue and “comedy bits”.

      Glad you enjoyed!

    I was laughing along with you the whole time. The video didn’t make me want to steer away from the game. Now it’s on my list of must-owns. It looks hilarious if played with friends.

    Did the four player multi-tap work with the game or can you only have 2 human players?

    Dinosaur Peak, and Little Samson, huh……why do those sound so familiar? ;)

      Because they’re two of the rarest licensed NES games?

            Little Samson is damn good. Very overlooked…for good reason, not many people played it

    DK saved the day!

  • Garbageface

    the donkey kong fight scene seems aimed at very young children, but would probably still insult their intelligence

    I was hoping DK and R.O.B. were going to go all Puppet Master on them, but this is OK :) Your friend is a great foil Pat! lol

  • djb123

    I like it when pat and Ian play games together.

  • Biff Tannen

    I did enjoy the curb your enthusiasm reference when you were in the game store. That was unexpected and hilarious.

    Yay for a new episode! I really like those story bits. 

  • Vfx3

    You don’t mess with Donkey Kong  or Donkey Kong Junior for that matter.

    Love the intro Pat, and the commentary is classic as always. Great video bro.

      Thanks John!

  • Poopypants

    Vice Project Doom is primed for videography.

  • Real1

    Great episode, Pat. One of your best!

  • Triple10X

    I used to love Anticipation as a kid.  Looking at it now, I have no clue why.

      So did I. My uncle had this and brought it over during the holidays. For this being a kids type game, it was hard to know what the items were at times and even to this day watching the drawn items, that Pat and his friend played, I guessed alot of them wrong. x] This game is fun to play with friends or family.

    Best Pat the NES Punk episode yet! It even beats my previous favorite, which was Ultimate Stuntman. 
    Donkey Kong and DK Jr. did such a great job defending the collection that ROB was able to get some much needed R&R. 

  • SwedestRob

    I would’ve stolen mr. gimmick instead of paying 200 bucks for the cart only here in Sweden. ;)

    • Neocasko

      Speaking of that, I have used emulation instead because well, it’s so rare that I can even find the cartridge. XD

      • Neocasko

        I mean, I “can’t” find the cartridge. lol

    “ha, Time Lord” (tosses game) — fucking hilarious :-)

  • Sdfakj

    Great episode, especially liked the Curb Your Enthusiasm reference and all the love for Rockin’ Kats that was one of my favorite games growing up. 

  • Dr. amazing

    19:11 It would have been funny if he went “My coccyx!”
