#VINTAGE BOARD GAMES MOVIE#

The Ultimate Space Adventure Game (Parker Brothers, 1982)ДЄlthough a second Star Wars movie had been released and the third one was nearing completion, Parker Brothers released a more generic game based on Star Wars in 1982. The path on Dagobah first looks pretty straight-forward, but at the end, the players have to face their Jedi Trails which can become quite tricky in order to finish the game.Д¦. The box features unique art and so does the board itself, which is also decorated by a few photos from the movie. In this game a spinning wheel and different cards enable players to gather Force merits during their quest on Dagobah under the tutelage of Yoda. This game challenges the players to become the first fully-trained Jedi Knight on Dagobah. Check out the gameвЂ™s original commercial! It was also released in other countries, including Italy. The board features very colorful artwork. Advancement, victory, and defeat are decided by a spinner. The goal is to escape from the Empire on Hoth with your Millennium Falcon token while gathering enough Force cards to defeat enemies such as a snowtrooper, a probot, an AT-AT walker, Boba Fett, and Darth Vader. This was the first game to appear after the release of The Empire Strikes Back. Another game called Destroy the Death Star was a battery-powered game produced by Palitoy in the UK. The large box (the board itself isnвЂ™t pliable) shows an upside-down Death Star and close-ups of Luke and Vader. The actual board has a rotating Death Star that needs to be moved during play. ItвЂ™s also directed by a spinning wheel, but itвЂ™s more complicated despite the fact that the original advertisement stated it was meant for ages 7 and up. This game focuses on the Battle of Yavin and you have to try and destroy the Death Star with your X-wing starfighters. No dice are required since this game also features a spinning wheel. This is a very easy game that can be also played by young children. In this game, the players need to complete A New Hope through the eye of R2-D2, starting aboard the Tantive IV and finishing at the ceremony on Yavin 4. This is another board game that was released very early and just like Escape from the Death Star, it was sold in many countries. Check out the gameвЂ™s original commercial. The game was released in many countries and can be found in a lot of different languages, going from Japanese (with another box) to Dutch. ItвЂ™s a quick game with a spinning wheel and cards that give the players certain benefits and penalties. The board is pretty cool, featuring photos from the movie, and it has a lot of spaces for the tokens. In this game, the heroes need to escape from the Death StarвЂ™s trash compactor and reach the Rebel base on Yavin 4. LetвЂ™s revisit the vintage Star Wars board games!Д®scape from the Death Star was one of the earliest bits of Star Wars merchandising released by Kenner (October 1977). Most of the vintage board games are fairly elementary variations of the classic game of goose but utilize a spinning game wheel instead of dice. This company had been part of the same General Mills group as Kenner. In The Vintage Vault, we take a closer look at some of the most iconic original Star Wars toys that have delighted fans across the globe.ДЄlthough Kenner is well-known for producing action figures and toys, they also released a fair share of Star Wars board games, some which were also produced by Parker Brothers.
