80's Board Games based on MOVIES!

[@raulzavala9061]

I applaud the poor sap game makers that had the grueling task to translate the story plots of these movies and turn them into a cohesive and playable game that will somehow appeal to the poor kids that couldn't afford an Atari or Nintendo.

[@danielbowden6330]

I still have the first Indiana Jones and the Raiders game, a good one to play on a rainy summer day. I watched Starblazers too. Remember the one where they get the original ship from Earth? A sunken WWII Japanese flagship, I believe.

[@ldogin]

Raiders was a good board game for sure. Passport, etc. it was well done.

[@NintendoSuperstar93]

The Alien one looks pretty cool. Also I had a board game based on the board game from a movie as a kid in the 90’s, Jumanji. I remember being let down as a kid when I found out that the board game itself didn’t open like it did in the movie and wasn’t made of wood and the player pieces were just colored pawns rather than ones shaped like animals.

My favorite was the black hole board game, it was cool because you had to race to get to a cardboard probe ship.. I had the Temple of Doom game for awhile...and kind of related but it was a tv show was the Dukes of Hazzard game..

Half of these games I'd really like to try. That really does look like the Alien figure. I really like David Lynch's DUNE. I recomend skipping the DUNE with William Hurt in it, that one sucked. I'll be honest and say I was never bored watching Close Encounters. :) I need the Batman games. 🦇 I never had any fun games. Thanks for playing

Nice. Board games, trading cards, lunchbox, comics and novelization used to be obligatory for big TV and movies (some not so big) up until the 90s or so.

A lot of these look potentially fun. I'd like to try Escape from New York, Alien, Dune, Superman 2 and some others. Your Margo Kidder impression cracks me up junkman 😂😂😂

[@demetriusdillard2863]

Parker Brothers actually manufactured a "Superman III"-based board game to coincide with the theatrical release of that aforementioned film in the summer of 1983.

[@palpatine775]

I had that Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom board game. And you know what? It was actually a whole lot of fun! The mine cart chase sequence made for a great board game.

Dune was one of the best designed movie board games of the era. It is good enough that they slightly updated and re released it a few years ago and it is a best seller. I have it myself, a little complicated but awesome once you have the rules down.

that superman game looks familiar, maybe i did have it? if so i don't have it now, i think i would remember if we had the box, if we did have it we didn't save it, but we save most everything in my house, and i cleaned my attic when i was a teen and never saw that box, so either we got it when i was really young and they threw it out? i don't know, i think my older brother had marvel world because i found littel cardboard cut outs of marvel heroes when i was little, so he must have gotten it as a present before i was born, but they didn't save the box i guess

[@futuramayeah]

oh, junkman , i thought you were going to open the box and show us how to play each game

[@futuramayeah]

we mainly played either monopoly or clue or trivial pursuit or scrabble, i guess we didnt get many board games after video games were invented in the late 70s early 80s, so we got intellivision in the early 80s and played the masters of the universe video game, that was cool, we flew the wind raider before jumping out to do something, and got nintendo in the late 80s i guess i could have got one of these in the 80s i just didn't see them in the toy catalogs so i didn't know to ask for them i guess, and i always went to the action figure aisle in the toy store so i didn't focus on looking at board games
