Dark Tower 1981 Board Game

[southport97]

This was like the ultimate nerd game in the 80s. Still is today. I'm surprised they haven't showed this on the Big Bang Theory yet.

[DisturbedShifty]

That tower seriously gave me the creeps as a kid. Even watching it now I get this "ominous" feeling that something bad will happen. LOL!

[BrianMansiMedia]

@DisturbedShifty Same! used to scare the crap out of me, I used to just watch my brother play it

[FloydsterUtube]

I found this game in a garbage can as a child. I didn't know how to play and I only had the tower but I spent hours just hitting the buttons and watching the lights.

good times...

[southport97]

Sheldon on Big Bang Theory probably has one of these.

[matthewmanuele]

My father in law just gave me this game today in the original box with all the pieces. I've yet to play it tho.

[pettermg]

@matthewmanuele can I come play it with you?!!!

[TheWolfDogMoon]

It was a lot of fun. This was 3rd grade for me. Soo much fun. The Bazaar. I remember when you got Lost. Fun times. 

[somps33]

I grew up poor.....I always wanted that game, never got one though.

[silvergirlie]

my brothers and i still play this game. christmas eve this year, actually!

[elaur]

Oh man I love this game. Can I come over and play?

[sonick808]

so many great memories w/ this game as a kid. I hate that I have to spend over 300$ to relive this :9

[MK2YT]

one of the best games ever IMHO

[Rockmaster2112]

What is this? A TOWER FOR ANTS???!!! How can Roland be expected to climb it if he can't even get inside the building?!

[darthgreivous]

@Rockmaster2112

It's like one of those toys that when you pour water on it it grows. You just pour some water on it and wait. Next thing you know it will become the Dark Tower for real. rofl

[korfx04]

@darthgreivous kind of like my penis, the more you rub it the more it grows

[martinvanburenboys]

i love hearing these sounds..... HAGGLE, HAGGLE, HAGGLE, HAGGLE!!!!

[doubledragonuk]

i have one in my collection, i was lucky, i bought 1 for £1 at a bootsale in ruff condition missing some bits, then i came across 1 for £15 at another bootsale in a good box missing some small pieces, made a complete 1 from the 2, Bargain, sell in near mint condition complete in box for about £100 in the uk now, it sits next to my MB Big Trak & my Armatron on a shelve for company, love 1970`s & 80`s electronic stuff

[eddiepify]

Dang...I loved that game!!!!

[luigix69]

I just bought a complete game for $300. I had it when I was younger, then I let a friend take it who in turn let someone I didnt even know take it. GONE! Its still fun.

[Jshaw71]

this game should have been remade a long time ago, we've had better tech for a god long while now, but still no remakes, just like hero quest... they sure are quick to write off their fantasy games

[RyanWehr]

@Jshaw71 I had heard that the game was taken off the market cause kids were obsessed and playing it like world of war craft now.

[Jshaw71]

well, i was more refering before this whole wow fad came around, maybe on the 90s, but i can tell your not being serious, so... thanks for nothing...

[wynternight777]

@RyanWehr It was taken off the market due to a lawsuit for intellectual property theft and was never republished. :(

[bloodvein3]

my family has this

[WireWerksTV]

almost 30 years ago. I was 11. I LOVED THAT GAME MORE THAN ANYTHING. Thanks for posting such a random video!!

[wojo3301971]

I loved this game when I was a kid. The 80's ROCKED Gen X RULES!!!!

[MrThatstheguy]

i still have this game too,, i played it last night with my parents,,thats why im looking up youtube vidoes of it lol,,is it worth anything?

[kitethetwinblade]

Yes. In working condition with manual and minimal wear, upwards of $150

[AdrianMerson]

@MrThatstheguy Vidoes?

[Keepseeker]

I just played this with my family not 5 minutes ago. Still a good game. The tower HATES me though. :(

[fizziwig88]

Go to wikipedia and there's a flash player version of this game that you can play.

[wankyj]

Thanks for letting me know! I lost about 2 hours last night playing that flash game! lol

[fizziwig88]

THIS WAS A COOL GAME!!!!!!

[thomasbhunter007]

How did this game work, again? I think I had one!

[fizziwig88]

I had this game when it first came out in 81. I really dont remember the exact object. 2 TO 4 players travel around the board to reach the tower. There are tombs and crypts you can open to find treasure or sometimes battle brigands. I think whoever finds 4 keys and gets to the tower first has to fight a buttload of brigands to win the game!

[thomasbhunter007]

I thought is was something like that - I can just barely remember this... thanks!

[zzxzqwq]

how?

[globeliner]

Why Milton Bradley dont release a newer version of it.......

all the board game are boring today....

[amitkatz]

the sounds remind me of an old computer game, i cant remember any specific game though

[bjosey67]

I loved Dark Tower! I got it for Christmas in 1981 along with my Atari 2600. Needless to say it was a very very good Christmas.

[upinflamezzz]

I got a 13" black and white tv with my Atari 2600.

[silvergirlie]

we just played last night and it was AWESOME!!!

[simmplemann]

use to play this game alot but it was a long time ago would love to have one.Thanks for posting aint heard it in a while.

[casedistorted]

lol damn I was looking this up on wikipedia and they said it was rare these days and I remember growing up when I was in chicago I used to play this all the time. Sucks that it's probably missing all its pieces and whatnot somewhere in our garage with all my other board games considering could probably sell it for some good money but yeah, I loved this game.

[plateshutoverlock]

Oh man, I remember this! Great times. I remember when the batteries ran low, the pitch of the tones would get higher, and the drum with the pictures on it would rotate non-stop. I also loved the flashing eyes effect created by the LED display

[arsenalryche]

this thing sells for about 250 USD, so its worth quite a bit now

[centurion09]

I loved this game, you can still find it on ebay...

[deconstructionist67]

Mine still works. I have all the pieces (kept in plastics bag since 1982) but the cardboard box rather fell apart.

[FATALCURE51]

Is it for sale?

[duncan36]

Brigands rather, my memory fails me.

[duncan36]

Bandits! Oh no.

[semperfaithful]

SONICK808.... I hear you.. My sis bought the game for me and I loved it.

[sonick808]

so many memories playing this game with my cousins....  parents probably sold it for 1$ at a garage sale when i went to college
