Re: Fave Board Games From olden days of yaw

I absolutely adored Colditz, still have it stored away in one of my many nostalgia boxes. Be worth a few quid some day, as will all my childhood toys etc. I also have Frogger and Donkey Kong board game, I think the former may still be sealed. I also still have the 1st edition Trivial pursuit (Genus edition). I also used to really like one called Downfall I believe, very simple concept but great fun.

Yes but in different boxes but the numbers one was more fun and popular than the letters

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"!

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.
