HeroQuest, like Dark Tower, represents a missed opportunity for me. I remember seeing it as a youth but I never did buy it or even get a chance to play it. Since then, I have seen a few tattered separate rule books and a few old boxes in various states of disrepair. The prices for these items were not in my "let's take a look" range of purchases so I did not get them. I wonder if I made a mistake? Obviously people enjoy the game since the used copies I have seen got a lot of play due to their condition. I also have a recurring desire to design a board game with many of the same elements. Does anybody have any experience with this game? I am always up for a good tale...
Did you ever play Dungeon? I think it was around the same cost of the B/X box sets.
ReplyDeleteI did play Dungeon a time or two. I do not remember much about it. I get the impression that it was "really simple" but I do not know that for a fact. I should have picked that up too...lol.
ReplyDeleteHeroQuest was great, and served as my gateway to D&D! When I started creating my own items, dungeons, and monsters, my mom got me the Classic D&D set.
ReplyDeleteVery cool. Usually, D&D seems to be the gateway to other games.
