Yup.

In the UK it was called Frustration, and it ruled.

There was a old deluxe version of monopoly that was in a designer wooden case, and it had wooden houses/hotels.

Mousetrap was a favorite.

And I remember trouble.

It blew. It was just Ludo, with the dice in a bubble so kids couldn't lose them. Pah, even snakes and ladders was better... or doctors and nurses

Yeah but it made a cool noise when it popped back up.

The only computer I remember that could do that was from Ohio Scientific.

Then I got nostalgic as missionary in the late 80's and remade it from memory on cardstock.

Oh wow, I didn't know you were a missionary.

My version has metal pieces; it is quite old I suppose. It has plastic houses and hotels though.

Oh, I remember an old game we used to have when we were kids. It's a board game sort of like Monopoly or Career, but you draw your starting character such as Silverspoon, and they each have a fixed starting position and money. There's this one with no money but also doesn't have to pay fines for the first 5 times.

You wander around a board in circles like Monopoly but there are no houses or hotels, and there are subpaths that branch out like Career. And the money are carboard circles of various sizes.

Does anybody remember what it is?

Of course almost every old Avalon Hill board war games are considered old timer material now.

I was cleaning out the closet the other day and found a bag of 4/6/8/20 sided dice. Ah, the nostalgia.

[child of Thor]

Did you keep them, the dice? i bet you did I keep mine in a 'magic' bag of bits and bobs, just in case

[rah]

Yep, guilty, I couldn't bring myself to throw them away. My magic bag is an old royal blue Chevas bag.

[child of Thor]

Well thats ok - you never know when you might need them........i think

[rah]

I still have my "MINES" D&D world in a binder, just in case.

I keep looking on ebay to see if early issues of White Dwarf (before they went all warhammer) are this year's hot item but i guess its not quite their time.

And i keep hoping Trapdoor will be released on DVD as my VHS are getting warn out.

There was the MSX computers which was suppose to be cross manufacturer but i think it was more a standard for mainly different japanese companies rather than running loads of different OS games.
