How long have you got ? from the 16 Bit computer game era, R-Type - a space shoot em up, fom Playstation era - Wipeout - futuristic antigravity racer, board games - draughts! big board games, Mouse Trap. Classics - Monopoly. Current board games - the logo game. Phone games - Fez. Monument Valley or Mini Metro.
The only one's I've heard of are Monopoly and Mouse Trap, classics, yes! I have about 5 boxed Mouse Trap games in the attic from my toy dealer days. One day I'll sort out complete sets and make someone happy. The diver figure is one of my all time fave board game characters!
Of course I have to mention Monopoly.It comes in many formats now but the original board represented Atlantic city,NJ,including many streets that don't exsist anymore,mostly swallowed up by casinos.Is Haunted House the one that is called Which Witch in the U.S.?if it is,thats one of the best games ever!My fave was one called Voice of the Mummy,a Milton Bradley Game which had you climbing around an old Egyptian tomb searching for jewels,dodging cobras,and keeping and ear out for commands from the talking mummy!pretty high tech for 1971!
yep, HH is Which Witch Bri. There's a bit about it comin uo this week. Voice if the Mum,y sounds great. I'll have to look it up. I remember getting all excited at a flea market finding a game called Curse of the Cobra years ago. There was a gold Sarcophagus that you inserted keys into and a spring-loaded pair of plastic cobras. I still have a copy of the instructions somewhere. It was great fun collecting monster games like this. One of my faves was Creature Castle,
