Back in 1981, my father bought me an awesome produced by MB Games called Dark Tower. The game was for up to 4 players and consisted of a large circular game board representing 4 kingdoms with rivers as borders running from the centre. At the centre was a large black tower, which was an electronic device with LED lights and a spinning carousel showing various pictures etc.
My tower unit broke a few years later and I chucked the whole lot away… fool! The game is no longer produced and due to certain legal issues with copyright and so forth is unlikely to ever be reissued… and now, reconditioned complete sets sell for as much as $150 on eBay !
Now someone needs to sort this out, Bring Back Dark Tower ! And no, the various online versions just aren’t the same!
