HeroQuest Flyer/Advertisements

Postby DarakuTenshi » June 10th, 2017, 5:28 pm

I'm a sucker for looking at old advertisements and flyers from video games, computers, and games. I thought since I had scanned these for my own use that I'd share them just in case others get a kick out of checking this stuff out as well.

I am astounded at how inexpensive these sets were sold for! (and I assume shipping and handling was included?)

Even accounting for inflation, a $15 set would cost about $25 in today's money.

Yeah makes me rather sad that I didn't buy it when I had the chance. I just recently bought a complete Return of the Witch Lord for $52. That I felt was a good price, all things considered. But $10.50! Back then I had a paper route that I got around $150 every two weeks (that I split with a friend so I got help on the route). That was some good money for a 12 year old. And the only things that I still have that are tangible from when I had my paper route are my SNES, alarm clock, and HeroQuest w/ Kellar's Keep.

Oh well... so is life.

Oh man... If I could go back in time I wouldn't even kill Hitler... I'd just buy a bunch of FF and MotM boxex.

Time machine ... I'd buy all the HQ stuff I could get and as many as I could get. And I'd be selling them for way less than people are today.
Friggin extortion prices for this stuff.

These are better than pinups in my opinion.

If I got my hands on these, they would BE pin-ups, literally...

How many of you guys also had Battle Masters?
I only played it a few times, but I thought it was really cool when I was younger. I still have some of the dice somewhere, but the rest of the game disappeared long ago.
