I'm sorry to be that person, but am I missing a pun? Or shouldn't it be "hear"? Please don't hit me, I'm no native speaker :-/

Ashens

You’re absolutely right - I posted this from my phone and got bashed by autocorrect! (Have fixed.)

Tjelfe

Thank you! :-)

Does anyone remember that back in the 80s there was a board game called Nightmare where you put in a VHS tape and this game master sort of guy came on and based on where you moved, you had to fast forward the vhs to reveal a piece of the story? I had the French version when I was a kid, and really would like to find this again in English or French.

I saw the TV ads as a kid, but never played it myself. What I DID actually play though was something called the Star Wars Interactive Video Board Game which was very similar (and veeeeery cheesy ;-) ).

Really? There was a Star Wars one?? Thanks for mentioning that Bottleberger. I really have to find out more on that! Personally I would love to collect a few of those old VHS board games. The cheese factor is all part of the fun! The only VHS game I have right now is the Wayne's World one that a friend bought me for my birthday a couple of years ago. I would love to get Nightmare again and definitely that Star Wars one now.

This were very popular in the UK (There were 3 expansion tapes) where it was celled "Atmosfear". Have a look on YouTube for the wonderful footage!

I've got that Star Wars one! There's also a Star Trek based one.

I spent all Friday night deep diving into the world of VHS games thanks to you and Ashens. I did happen to get my hands on Doorways of Horror and a very strange one called Grin and Bare it which the clip looked so weird with a creepy clown thing, all still sealed from Ebay. Also from the same seller, I purchased 1980s deadstock set of official Pontiac Firebird seat and steering wheel covers in tiger stripped crushed velvet. So not only did I score big on cheesy games, I level up the cheese factor of my Trans Am to max levels. If you two are ever around this part of Chepstow, you are welcomed to go for a cruise in the tackiest looking car on the block. xD Thanks again!
