I don't think it's a reference to any specific game (more than one game is like that), and there are definitely games that spelled it "CONGRATURATION" or "CONGRATURATIONS". The Japanese do not distinguish between L and R, so they often misspell English words that use them, usually by substituting R's for L's, but it happens the other way around as well. - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] | I don't think it's a reference to any specific game (more than one game is like that), and there are definitely games that spelled it "CONGRATURATION" or "CONGRATURATIONS".

I don't have the DVD - is 'Videro Games' the title of this email, or is this a typo? The word 'Videro' doesn't appear anywhere in the email, unless the transcript is wrong. -- Mithent 10:13, 13 Nov 2004 (MST)
- It's definitely the title of the email. If you'd like proof, I can give you a screenshot of the title screen. It was probably named Videro Games because TBC already HAD an email named video games. --TheNintenGenius 13:25, 13 Nov 2004 (MST)
- Ah, okay, just wondered. I believe you! -- Mithent 04:33, 14 Nov 2004 (MST)
CONGRATURATION
- "CONGRATURATION" might be a sly reference to the NES game 1942, known for being almost unbearably hard and only having the word "CONGRATULATION" as its ending screen.
