Hey Woodsy,
I don't often come across anything new that you might find interesting, but I had never seen this before. Grabbed it today. 1967 board game with some great graphics. The original game was made by some company in Lichtenstein! This is the American version licensed from Mondotoy, made by Lowes of New York.

The graphics show things like Dyna-Soar, the 5-leg Grumman LM, the Boeing Moon Base concept, early space station designs, the 1962 NASA LM, pics of a Cooper, Grissom, Young, Stafford and
Carpenter, John Glenn and Shepard are on the box. Saturn I launch on the box, early Apollo command module prototype, a guy who looks like Major Matt Mason, and lots of other cool stuff. The little plastic rockets come apart into four stages. The cards include espionage and sabotage cards!
Cheers

Wow, that looks brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI've seen that game pop up on epay UK (version made by Triang) but can't recall seeing the contents. Wonder what it's like to play?

ReplyDeleteOr could it be Tri-ang Moon Probe board game with similar kind of cover illustration (although a different game altogether) -

Arrr.... I think you chaps are right (blush). Senility strikes again, aided by (indeed) a somewhat similar box top picture.
ReplyDeleteStill wonder what Darth's game is like to play though.
