In this video, I show some footage from Anticipation for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Anticipation was developed by Rare and published by Nintendo and purports to be "Nintendo's First Video Board Game". I play a single-player game with no computer opponents. This was intended to simply show how the game progresses over its game boards.

**NOTICE**
This footage was recorded by me, a gamer of average skill. The recorded video is novel only because of its age, taped before the benefit of GameFAQs or access to other online assistance. The only help available came in the form of gaming magazines and word of mouth. Otherwise, expect an unremarkable run through the game featured.

The original tapes were recorded in EP (SLP), transferred to DVD recorded in LP (four hours per single-density DVD), ripped using a lossy video format, split, combined, stretched to standard SD, and reencoded with another lossy format, and then finally YouTube adds its own compression. Each transfer introduces more degradation of quality. On CRT, the original tapes and first-generation DVD recordings look clearer and more vibrant than what's being shown here. Reference quality transfer wasn't required, my old tapes are only important to me.
