Hangman
/ Spelling
If you're dumb like me then you probably never realized
that instead of a 'hanged man' you draw a monkey hanging from a
branch in this more P.C. version of the game. I'm not
exactly sure why Sears couldn't just call their game Hangman (is
it copyrighted?), but I suppose it could be considered spelling
in a warped way. I like the Atari version here, the little
dinosaur spelling beast is just too cool. But Sears
version has a monkey, you just can't go wrong with monkeys
although If I were those people I'd watch out for little monkey
'presents' from above. Confusingly the Sears artwork shows
an actual game of hangman with the original ‘hanged man’ instead
of a monkey. What are you trying to hide Sears?
Atari wins.
