Title: Vintage Games
Post by BlueMeanie on Feb 13th, 2005, 1:54pm
For those who grew up without computer games, what board games did you like to play ?

I think the game of "Life" was one of my favorites. "Clue" was an awsome game too. Do people even play board games anymore ?

Monopoly was always fun, and caused a lot of arguments.  Life was good too. And War. Ruling the world was great.  ;;D

When I was 11 I used to sit for hours and play Scrabble with my grandmother. We got to use curse words too. Must be where I picked up my widely varied sailors vocabulary.  ;)

Monopoly could suck sometimes.  Spend three turns in jail then get paroled to make it through the high rent district and get hit with a damn luxury tax on top of it.  Shit, it could have been a Ouji board for all the hints it was giving me.  I was just hoping to park cars at Free Parking anyway.

Now that was a good game. You could cop a feel and get a kiss just by calling it a dare. :o

Risk - (Hell I just got my hubby The Lord of the Rings Edition for Christmas.  Had a blast playing it. But we wiped out everyone and it came down to a battle between the two of us and we both hate to lose.  He says I cheat when I get him to quit so that we can "Play" upstairs.  I figure that is just good stratagy.  ;;D)

Played Life, Sorry, Trouble, Cribbage, Uno, 500 (Parents where card game fanatics)

Got stuff so that we play with my kids at least once a week so that we dont zone on the TV every night.

Scrabble, Clue, Master Mind, Battleship, Yahtzee!, and others...

I hated video games growing up and I still dislike them. I've never owned a video game machine and I thought it terribly boring when I'd go over to friend's houses and they'd wanna play with the Atari and such. Plaah!

The only "video" games I ever enjoyed were games like Zork.

Twister was a favorite, but that's when I was in high school and liked cheer leaders...

Monopoly was always a favorite of mine...of course when you landed on free parking...the "bowl" went atound twice...

Good times....good times...

Another favorite is Mille Bornes...you can play it online at

http://www.games.com

Look for a LOT of vintage board, card and even arcade games on that site....

They even have Tempest  ....  Avoid Spikes!

Wow! I am reading this thread and shaking my head in disbelief...
Monopoly was cool. Could always clean up in that game, but then I turned 11 and it was time to put away childish games and break out the hard stuff...

DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS!!!

My friends and I would go on 3 day binges of going through dungeons and such (I later became a 3rd level DM = Dungeon Master.)  We were batteling Orcs, Minotaurs and Michlantektulu while all the other kids were still trying to work their Rubicks cube.
We'd play for 2 or 3 days straight through while drinking, cussing and smoking and cranking up Rush, Rolling Stones, Zeppelin and Black Sabbath (we were delinquents, HA!) and the rules of the game anytime I was dungeon master was - if you fell asleep during the game, you would be attacked and killed by wild animals, and everybody would split up your belongings. We were savages and bastages!  *snif* those were the days.

Peace,

I never could understand the whole D&D thing. It seemed like ya just made up rules as ya go.

I sold a bunch of 1st edition D&D awhile back on ebay. Turned out to be a very good week.  [smiley=laugh.gif]
