    Have they evened out the ratio of men to women?

    That was always the first question in hopes you could knock out 3/4 of the board.

    Some of these games, like Operation and Hungry Hungry Hippo, are still available. Cheap. Buy them for your kids and re-live the glory.

    As a pack rat, I still own a functioning Omega Virus game that my 7 year old loves to play. Awesome game.

    I miss some of the old Avalon Hill hexagonal war games like Squad Leader.

    I played some weird board games as a kid! But all of these rocked! The Atmosfear dvd was kind of freaky though...

    Holy Crap! I've got quite a few of these games (including Fireball Island) sitting in the attic. I think I just found a few hundred dollars. :D

    I always wanted to play that one. It looked like a really cool game.

    Beat me to it. "Tobruk" and "Midway" were favorites. Also their F1 racing game "Speed Circuit" which was originally a 3M game (good sports board games).

    Anybody remember "Foto Football" or "Talking Football"?
