For your viewing pleasure

Hero Quest


Space Crusade


Holy Spit! Those adds are hardcore!
We didn't have them in Denmark, but I would have absolutely loved them as a kid!
Kid's commercials today are really castrated compared to the glorious 80's!

Also, not as hardcore, but still pretty cool:

It's interesting to see the prototype version of HeroQuest they used in that commercial. Different doors & dice, miniatures with round bases, and that crazy throne with a face on the back.

This commercial was translated in Greek and used widely in early 90s. It was kind of a cult thing, it was soooo stupid.
In the English one, where the kid says "i'll use my broadsword" the greek translation is "barbarian, I have 3 chances".
I know. :? right?
And the "fire of wrath" is freely translated to "I have the Wizard".
