How's this for irony. I have HeroQuest. When I was in the Air Force a group of us from our shop would get together each weekend for all night marathon sessions of the game. We played through the booklet that came with the game and started making our own adventures. It's amazing that it was Milton Bradley that came up with this game, and that fact alone made it take a lot of convincing to get them to play it. Once they played though, they were hooked.

I would kill to have the time to learn enough programming to recreate the game on the computer. I know they made it for the PC a long time ago, but it played like crap.

Now, the REAL ironic part. About a year ago I showed Xandor and my son how to play it, and they are both addicted to it as well.





The paint is wearing off of the elf in spots, allowing the red plastic to show through. Later, if anyone wishes, I'll post pics of the barbarian, wizard and the gargoyle. That's all of the figures I painted because I didn't have the time to do the rest, and now my eyes just aren't sharp enough.

Have you ever played 'Talisman'. or 'Dungeon Quest' by Games Workshop? And does anyone reading this have 'Chainsaw Warrior', also by Games Workshop, that they are willing to sell?
