Seeing the differences in the British version is really interesting! The American one for example had 8 pieces to choose from, with a boy and girl version of each color to make it even less of a "for girls" game
Great video! Brought back some happy 80s memories. This is the first time I’ve watched one of your posts. Have subscribed and I look forward to going through what else you have reviewed.
Just found this channel and wanted to say you do a great job with this! I wanted to show my 6yo daughter this game that I used to love and now she's begging for the new one. She's gotta learn to read a little better first tho! Thanks for feeding my nostalgia!
Insane production quality, I love this. Maximum nostalgia. I love that there's an English version of this game, after only playing the American version.
This is one of my little sister's all time favorite games, so we end up playing it often when she comes into town for a visit, and we even quote it at each other randomly. Ooh, a long line! Try again later!
I didn't know they made a British version. I'm glad you showed close ups of the older board with the marble tile floors. I have the US yellow box. I keep saying it's Milton Bradley's Dark Tower for girls lol (I have that too. Both have an electronic centerpiece)
haha, I play this with my mates and against my brother and my dad, it gets competitive! Yeah I was aware with the later yellow version, the speaker unit was slightly redesigned, the escalators have little hand rails right? It's a nice copy
@@downfromtheattic yeah it's nice looking unit. I had a hard time getting a couple of the railings on so I left them off and kept the ones in teh center on it looks fine. They released a new one it's a single level and a small round electronic box but the voice actors are similar to the yellow box which are more youthful. the yellow box girl gets annoyed when you can't press the button fast enough since the storefront art is nice but busy so it's hard to find where to put the sale signs. the kid who says 'sorry try again later' sounds like a slacker lol I've yet to try the fan Zombie variants on BGG.
I'm so glad you reviewed this underated game! I'd never played it before (because of how girly it looks) but my wife had the game when she was younger and wanted to relive it so I bought it for her a couple of Christmases ago. I reluctantly played it with her and immediately fell in love. I request it almost every game night now. I'm pretty sure I love it more than my wife does. 😂 Love the channel, Luke! Keep up the great work!
It reminds me of another girly game, dream phone, it’s really more like a cool detective game, well except the fact that it can turn Sentient and kills your friends and then get blamed for a murder you didn’t do but how could you blame them, your saying that a plastic phone from a girls game killed your friends and by the time you know it your playing real life hangman
Just found the 2004 version at goodwill for 3 bucks only missing 1 player card and 1 store front piece still playable and so much fun my family loves it but after viewing the original here I really wish I could find this one for a good price for the board is sooo much more amazing than the 2004 but at least the 2004 is way much prettier than the 2020 version wich is so cheap looking
That is a real bargain! Mine's missing the blue player but if you're hunting for a spare, the same play pieces are used in the Goosebumps board games from the 90s :) can find them easier on eBay
Hey Luke I think it’s time to do a Halloween episode of some sort near October or something, because recently I’ve been playing a game called horrified and it’s a lot of fun

Your videos are amazing. Such a great idea. You deserve wayyyyy more subs.
This was my sisters but i played it way more lol! Still have ours! My teenage niece and nephew absolutely love it and Dream Phone!
Love this game and your review was amazing dude. Congrats on reaching 60 episodes and which I've only just seen, over 900 subscribers.
Thanks bud, and thanks for giving me the game, one of my favs!
That looks honestly amazing. Should have gotten that back in the day rather than the VHS mystery games :)
I wish I could play this, looks very cool

What a great channel ive been watching videos last couple days finally subbed
thanks for the kind words!
Solid review! Love this game! Couldn’t have learned it as quick without you hahah. Definitely wish I had the one with the accent though 🙄🙄😂
That it charges $5 more at times is a surprise to me! My copy doesn't have that response.
Matt wilkins Mine does that also... May be 80s version thing haha
@@TabletopIsland Dang! I have the 2001 version. Maybe that's why
Matt wilkins really Matt? That is interesting. I figured there might be some subtle changes through different versions
It's amazing how much effort that's gone into the design of the game. Another great review mate, you're my youtube nostalgia guy!
Wow, thanks for posting this vid. I never saw this version and now wish I could add it to my collection! Unfortunately I live in the U.S.

Anyone else have a massive rave when the music intro plays?
No?
Just me?
Okay:(
your channel is so underrated :(
This is a fun, entertaining, well made channel and you deserve far more subscribers than you have.
It's Mall Shopping Time
yes
Great review.
The fact that this channel has so few subscribers is criminal.
Cool game
You shoulda worn that shirt for the ready set spaghetti review.
thanks. where did you find the game in such a good condition?
fer I have my friend ectovaper, who’s a friend of mine offline, for finding it in a charity shop for me
My cousin had the American version and it had boy pieces
Very cool game! What is the music at 6 mins?
It's this track in the youtube audio library called Overdrive

Has anyone ever combined this game with Zombies and made an official Dawn of the Dead Board game?

the Greek Geek waaaaay ahead of you ;) already got planned what I’m doing for Halloween ;)
DownFromTheAttic Yeah too bad trick-or-treating is going to be kind of rough this year so that’s what I’m just gonna watch a bunch of movies
the Greek Geek yeah I can’t see it being the same this year somehow. It’s a shame, our neighbourhood really goes to town with Halloween
