You've convinced me - I've just won an eBay auction for it!

Thank you for bringing me back in my memory land!! You are a very charming host!!! BTW.. I could do without Reptile games. One game used to give me nightmares was a game called SNAKES ALIVE. (I don't want to talk about it!!)

I have 2 copies of 80s version because I cannot find the 90s version. I would play the 80s version adapting the 90s Rules.

I played the 86 version as a kid. After a gap of many years we started playing it again with my nephews. I thought the dolphin protected you from a shark but not the sea serpent, a dolphin could carry you all the way home if you use all three moves at once and the people were dumped straight into the water when removing a piece of land. Either my version is slightly different from yours or I'll have to re-read the rules.

I still remember those plastic teeth on my 4 year old fingers...such a cruel toy lol

I used to have these when I was a kid

I've never seen the simple one

I had this game I loved it

Finally found my password for my account again! :D Thank you so much for this awesome video, it's a pure joy to see you crafting such an amazing creature and covering the game! Best greets from Berlin, Flo

13:51 nice catch

came here becuase of Funni Swedish man

OMG... You should have some disclaimer warning for the "Toy Story" fans on the beginning of this video. 😉

I Brought this game from ebay with no original balloons. The Mechanics in this game remind me of The Golden Egg from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Where if you open it and not put it underwater, it lets out a horrible, horrible screech.

Worked that out pretty quickly.

Love the artstyle.

6:10 That sound as it wobbles is even more satisfying than the sheer drop.

Background musics are sea shanties from AC 4 BF.

Mate I remember these books so well as a kid! I absolutely loved them. Any idea where I could buy some decent copies for my son? We live in the states. You may also want to try Haunted House by Jan Pienkowski

Had exactly the same with Action Man and Dr. X skin and characters !

Reminds me of Ghost Castle.

The fact that the bootleg pop up pirate is 1% better because the swords are not attached to the mold thingybabber

This was great, thanks for doing this series. it was really cool to be able to revisit these books which had previously sort of lurked around, semi-remembered, in my sub-conscious. And to get to see the ones that I never had as well.

Thanks! Enjoyed this series a lot 👌

I thought this was a game. My mistake.

Nice executioner costume!! Neat pop up book too 😊

I have found a copy here in the Philippines cost me £6.5 (₱500) including shipping to my province. I looked for a KZbin video about this game and this is the only one I can find. And I'm so happy about this review. Very well put review and tutorial.

Had to rewrite this comment cuz KZbin’s auto censorship didn’t like some words I guess. Wish this had more views, this was very interesting. I never knew where the original characters came from as a kid. I just bought this board game again for $45 plus shipping and my wife’s kids have been playing on it nonstop. I told them I was younger than they are now when I first played it in 1992 and it was my favorite board game besides Dark Tower (which is too pricey for me to get at $200-300 😢) Did you ever happen to do a game review video for the omega virus?

Oh that's awesome! I used to own a copy of this as a kid, I loved it. I also had 'The Weirdies of Wailing Wood'. I'm excited to see you cover the other titles in the series.

Very nice art work

cute and clever i love it they thought of dso much detail

This is the guy from Toy Story 2.

Thank you ! Very helpful. Just bought a second-hand game which I thought was not working.... bc it was not working/switching position like the one where we can borrow games... I had it open and was wondering WTF... Thank you for the idea of this video and how full of informations it is.

One of my favorite books. Still have Mine at my parents home ✌️

Mark, congratulations - I take it you completed your collection of this queasy quartet. As for this book in particular: Hardcore, isnʼt it? Thereʼs a sense of lingering existential dread and fatalism unusual in fare for the kiddies. Looking forward to the next haunting installment!

Nice one. You will do the other pop up books?

I really want to like these, but the splayed legs necessitating a substantial base is a turn off.

Great review!

What I would do with the alien pod mission is number each pod 1-9. Each number would correspond to a specific alien. That way each alien type only turns up once.

Lots of washing up liquid and very hot water, soak for a while to let the water cool to a point where you won't scald yourself and scrub HARD with a nail brush, scrub again in plain water to shift soap, dry and spray with matt varnish, then paint as normal with a heavy matt varnish to finnish. If keeping the integral base, score with a knife or roughen with sandpaper before gluing.

this game deserves a comeback but updated 11 donut colours more gears and a dodecahedron dice

I remember a bit from the ad.

I really liked this game as a kid.

Diggin the Stan Rogers music

Big fan of your painting style, wondering if you’d make a video assembling or kit bashing a frostgrave war band? Or maybe you’ve done that already, I’ve only just found your channel. Enjoying myself so far though, keep up the good work!

Great video. Now I am curious about alien zoology..

Looks fantastic! I'll have to check out Alien Zoology.

This is a really good “my first kitbash” kind of project: variety animal minis are cheap, they’re larger, and you can just mix up anything since you’re making alien creatures.

What a cool video. Very educational on painting and miniature assembly techniques. Not to mention that it conveys the game's atmosphere well. It shows that not everything needs to be governed by the lens of war and destruction, there are miniatures games that can explore other fields. I hope to see more videos in this atmosphere. Thanks.

We have this one at home for over 20 years and still play it

I wondered if the game was based on Little Shop of Horrors
