    My roommate and I rented this game the other night.
    
    For the first hour it was great!  Unfortunately, after about 3 hours of
    constant play, we started to run into *many* repeat puzzles (about 80%
    repeats to 20% new ones!!).
    
    I must be fair, though...we were playing the 'very hard' level the
    whole night...we weren't bouncing between all levels.
    
    My own opinion, though, is that you'll be bored with the game after a
    couple of days of constant play.  Once you've seen one puzzle, it kind
    of stays with you so that you'll pick it out very early, later on.
    
    I'd rate it a 2 out of 5.

196.2I like it!CISM::MORANWhen Money Speaks The Truth is?Mon Jan 30 1989 15:0222
    While I agree that if you constantly play the the game you will
    recognize the drawings and it will not be as challenging ---- However,
    if you have young children (6 - 10) its a good learning game and
    fun.  
    
    To explain more about the game: 
    
    It is a board game with three levels. Each level has four or five
    (?) colors, each color representing a different action or subject
    or representation of a drawing.  There are various levels of difficulty
    from connect the dots to your on your own.  The object of the game
    is to identify and correctly spell the object being drawn on the
    screen.  There a muliple subjects (colors) that you must answer
    correctly before advancing to next board (three in all).  Also there
    is a time limit to guess what the drawing means - once the drawing
    is completed your out of time and the next drawing on the same subject
    starts.  We purchased the game for Christmas and have had great
    fun since then - kids love to challenge me.  As a parent I would
    have to rate this as the best Nintendo game we have because I feel
    that while they are having fun they are learning (there could be other 
    learning games that I'm not familiar with that are much better).

    It's not the bad of a game.I would agree with the last two replies.It
    starts to repeat itself after awhile,but if you have kids,it's realy
    a"must"have(IMO).O a Sickel & Ebert scale, I would have to give
    it a thumbs up&down.
