  • The Black Tower

    Anyone recall this game from the '80s? I never had one myself, but it seemed to be some kind of dungeons & dragons-type thing whereby you had to gain entry to a black plastic tower after defeating various obstacles. It was advertised on TV by a bearded guy who looked like the chap that used to be on the box cover of the 'Mastermind' game- because I never owned one myself, can anyone tell me how it was played and what it was about?

        Its funny but when I was kid in the 70's and 80's, Orson Welles was just some large American bearded dude who advertised Cracker Barrel cheese and Domeq Sherry.
        I've since discovered his Movies and have realized what a unique talent he had both in front and behind the screen.
