Also did anyone have Atmosphere? It was a novelty that quickley wore off for me. I found it very boring, most of the time the guy just sat staring at you, to think he had to film about an hour of that in real time lol. It was totally over hyped in my opinion!

Yes, there were several editions of the game, I think I owned most of them at one point ...

I've started a thread about Dream Phone and other girly board games from the '90s, but another one I remember was "13 Dead End Drive." This involved you playing as one of several people who stand to inherit from a will and you were supposed to win the game by murdering the competition to get the money! That's right, a board game that required you to murder several other people to win! You achieved this by setting off traps that could be activated when another player's piece was in a certain location, but you had to have drawn the right card from a deck first. It was like Cluedo gone wrong (well, more wrong.) Also remember a game I received for my birthday once that came with a CD and game pieces representing different weapons. It looked badass and I couldn't wait to play it but when I said "Dad, what's a machete?" and then my parents listened to the CD, they decided it wasn't suitable for me and took it back to the shop

I used to like crazy faces, where you put ears, eyebrows, noses and mostaches on pairs of glasses! I also had Bed bugs but it made such a racket my mum didn't like me playing it! I also remember having quite a good Mr Men board game : )

Last weekend I took my Waddingtons 'Blockbusters' board game over to some friends' house. I hadn't played it for years, decades even, but it was great fun setting it all up and taking the role of the legendary Bob Holness. "That's Blockbusters!"

Re: Fave Board Games From olden days of yaw

Mousetrap was the best thing ever! I remember getting it for Christmas and almost wet myself with excitement (I was only 5)! Best game ever, and I still have it. Last time I broke it out was just before Christmas when a few of my friends came over for a party, and ended up playing mousetrap, drunk, at 2 in the morning, shreiking with glee when something happened! The Neighbours loved us...

I was going to say Monopoly too, but then I remembered the 9 hour long monopoly game I once had and decided I hated it...
