itch and worse than a case of warts, our trash-talking
NORM NUTMAN™ is Radica’s reigning Dude of Rude!
Push his tongue for the ultimate sports trivia challenge.
Play alone, with up to three other buddies or pick teams to
put the screws to Norm. It doesn’t matter if you’re good,
bad, excellent or indifferent - NOBODY escapes the terri-
ble tongue of NORM NUTMAN™.

The Game in a “NUTSHELL”
(Get it?)
The object of the game is to answer as many sports trivia
questions correctly as possible. Each round, no matter
how many players, has 20 questions in each set,
UNLESS you have three players, than it is 21. Norm
keeps a running total of correct answers for each set. If
you’ve beaten any previous records in the game, Norm
will let you know and the game will go on. After one set of
20 questions, you will progress to the next set.
USING YOUR SPORTS NUT™
WANNA GET STARTED
Sure you do. Just push Norm’s tongue to wake the game
and let the torture begin. Norm will always make you feel
welcome (yeah, right!) with a surprise greeting - we hope
you’re not sensitive!
Choose Number of Players - After greetings from your new
pal, Norm will ask the number of players. If you’re playing
solo, press his tongue once. If there are more players, press
his tongue the number of times there are players.
Remember, there can only be four players.
Get Your Nickname - After number of players is deter-
mined, Norm will automatically choose a fun nickname for
each player. Get ready for the abuse, because these names
range from Twinkle Toes to Girly Man, Pretty Boy to Pig Pen
(and these are the most flattering of the bunch!)
PLAYING THE GAME
The questions will be from a variety of sports and will have a
follow-up question if you get part one right: For example:
Which team has the record for all-time most Super Bowl
appearances? Was it..... Denver Broncos or Dallas
Cowboys. Since the correct answer was Dallas, Norm will
then ask: So how many times has Dallas been to the Super
Bowl? Was it.... 8 or 9. Norm will always ask the question
twice. If you’re not sure, give it a good guess - you’ll learn
valuable sports facts even if you’re wrong!
As Norm is throwing those tough questions at you, make
sure you press his tongue when he says the choice.
