myLot reputation of 91/100. rick615 (327)3 years ago

Or does everyone think they are Bored Games?

I'm talking about Risk, Clue, Monopoly, Sorry!, Scrabble, Stratego, etc..Or even the electronic ones like Omega virus, Stop Thief!, or Dark Tower (worht a lot of money on ebay now).

Are they all dying out because of video games and PSP, Wii and the internet?

I sure hope not!!

i do not play those games.do you play them?


myLot reputation of 91/100. rick615 (327)  3 years ago

I used to play all of these quite frequently. Nowdays, it is hard to find poeple who even know how to play or want to play.

Now ask them about Mortal Kombat or Doom.....

We as a family sometimes have a family night where we would get down and play some board games, we sometimes go to my parents place and play there with other family memebers too, we love computers and the internet but nothing beats a family battle of the board games lol...some games we have and play are:
Deal or No Deal
Battle of the Sexes
Monopoly
Scrabble
Balderdash
Articulate
Minute Mime
And good old Card games like poker, black jack,under and overs, using the fab fake casino chips.

We also have a 2 Playstation2's and quite a lot of games, sometimes the girls will be on one playing each other of taking a quest in some adventure game, while hubby and i are on the other trying to get through Lord of the Rings LOL we finally conquered Primal well hubby did.

We even play downstairs playing Ping Pong and the girls love getting into it with us its challenging yet heaps of fun.

But all in all computers and playstation gaming here is in moderation, doing things as a family are way more important and way more fun!

Happy Gaming:)

What a nice set up!

We used to have a family game night pretty regularly, then a few things got in the way. After reading your post, I think it's time for us to get back to it.

Funny you should mention Dark Tower.
I used to play this alot back in the 80's when it came out. But then it sat on my shelf until the mid 90's. When I tried to play it then, the Tower itself malfuctioned and so there it sat until today. I got it out, took it apart. Couldn't get it to work. So then I oiled the motor, and it started working again! Woohoo! I LOVED this game! Now I'm just cleaning up the whole game and planning on playing it soon with some pals!

For those who don't know what it is, it's basically a sword & sorcery board game with an electronic Tower that sits in the middle telling you the moves you make. Very Dungeons & Dragons like. There's a great page about the game here:
http://well-of-souls.com/tower/

Wikipedia has a write up on it too.
I guess they're kinda rare now.
A working one is going for $150-$300!
Here's that link:
