Case in point:


















Torpedo Run was ****ing awesome. What have we got now? Sixty five editions of Monopoly? Some ****ty game about a bunch of peaceful settlers on some **** ass island?

And don't forget CROSSFIRE and all those crazy games.

Discuss.

are you kidding

only the coolest rich kids owned games like Torpedo Run

because they were the only people with rooms large enough to play it and parents wealthy enough to front the cost of it

in conclusion:

suck a dick fagmo

Inside Moves was a great one, it was a weird combination that was a mix of chess and checkers that was pretty fun.

Inside Moves original name was Camelot, and apparently there is a federation for it.

Axis and Allies is fun to play, just a ***** to setup.

I owned all 4 of those games when I was a kid (technically Torpedo Run belonged to my bro because it came out before I was born) and they were all ****ing awesome

These days all the board games are for prissy fags who would rather sit around and talk about their feelings and their crop harvest instead of whipping catapult balls at castles which promptly exploded in showers of plastic

I hate axis and allies. In 2 hours, you get 3 turns, maybe 4 and the game is pretty much over. Spending 45 minutes deciding how many aircraft are going to attack with all the skill of a dice roll isn't fun, sorry.

Chess
Stratego
Scrabble
Risk

Those games are all still fun.
