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!"

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 : )

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

Re: Fave Board Games From olden days of yaw

This should perhaps go in the petty hates thread but when did trivia games become so popular??? Whenever I look for box games these days that's all I ever find whether it's at the store or at a flea market or yard sale. The problem with trivia games is that you've pretty much mastered it after playing it a few times.

Totopaly it was a horse racing game were a cloth was stretched across a table secured at both ends and you turned a handle so the cloth moved back and to and the horses would move up the cloth.

Nope. You're thinking of Escalado - quite fun until the handle broke off.

Totopoly was a horseracing game but was conventional board and cards game. I remember you'd think you were about to win when you got hit with "Burst blood vessel - horse is out of the race"!
