Re: Fave Board Games From olden days of yaw

Alley Cats was my favourite board game growing up. Run around the board searching dustbins for fish, escaping the dogs, then make it all the way home.
Smashing fun.

Hi Jason, here's a link to alley cats on the main dyr website started by yours truly.

I loved the game Sorry ! It's a game similar to Ludo, but far more competative - you need to be devious You can still get it today, but the board was more substantial back then, not just folded cardboard.

Yes!! That's it!! It took a while to think what the name of it was, but it didn't take long for you to find a pic of it. Thanks so much for that.

Maybe I had normal Striker then, coz I only remember there being 2 outfield players on each side, plus a goalkeeper. Only one of the players on each team was able to chip the ball coz his foot was shaped like a scoop, the other one had to kick the ball along the ground.

Think it may have been called Cup Final.

Re: Fave Board Games From olden days of yaw

We'll have to find a version you can play online, then I will challenge you for the title of Connect 4 champion of the world (or DYR at least).

Found one here.

Unfortunately, unless you pay, you can only make up to 15 moves per day. It's ok if you're just popping in and out from time to time. If anyone wants to challenge me to a game of anything (preferably connect 4, draughts, chess, reversi, backgammon, or battleships), you just need to create a new user ID, then start a new game against steveinoz (that's my username). The games have differents names, but you can work out what is what pretty easily or just read the game rules. Hope to see you there.

gotta love Monopoly, Cluedo, Mouse Trap.

Colditz was our fav though..although no-one wanted to be the Germans (not much to do, whilst the Allies plotted together! 60 foot of rope & wirecutters! ahh memories!

Others? Bermuda Triangle (still play it now!), Rebound, Crossfire, Haunted House

Re: Fave Board Games From olden days of yaw

I think I had both of these at some point.

Loved playing the Nazi's in the original. Groovy little black pieces.

Re: Fave Board Games From olden days of yaw

I loved Escape From Colditz.

I am sure that there was another game called 'Escape From Colditz Castle' which was different.

Any ideas.

Yes, you are indeed correct.
This is the standard Escape from Colditz


Whereas this is Escape from Colditz castle
