Videocart-18: Hangman
Description official descriptions
The classic game of Hangman, in which the player has to guess a hidden word by suggesting letters. Only a certain number of letters can be tried - every incorrect guess will add an element to a drawing of a man being hanged at the gallows. The player loses if the drawing is completed, due to his or her missing attempts at finding the letters in the secret word.
The game contains 64 game variations of this basic premise for either 1 or 2 players, with or without a score. Variations include:
- The computer selects the word to guess;
- One player comes up with a word for another player to solve;
- The player is given one of the letters in the word to help him get started;
- The game will tell the player he guessed the right letter but will not say where it belongs in a word;
- The player isn't told how long the secret word is;
- The player has to guess the letters and their location in the word;
- The player has to solve an anagram.

The Good
The graphics look good, the game feature a good size selection of words. There are a few limited variations on the game.
The Bad
If you had a friend you could easily play this with a pen and paper for a fraction of the price, but you WOULD need a friend.
The Bottom Line
It does a good job at what it's doing, but what it's doing is too easy to do in the real world. Maybe if it had a second game packed in. But the memory was probably taken up with the 160 words.

Trivia
Version difference
The Saba release Rat'mal differs from the US version of Hangman. In the former, the gallows have been removed, thus making for less violent imagery.
