I'd completely forgotten about Transogram. I remember more than a few of these. "Why" was a good game. Never could find one in a store when I had money, though. Would love to have a copy of that Patty Duke game. Conflict was quite remarkable, with land, sea and air pieces. Parker Brothers, not being stupid, also used some of the pieces in Monopoly, which is why one token is still a battleship. (The cannon and anti-aircraft gun also appeared in Monopoly sets.) Four people could play. Cadaco spinner games are absent; baseball was the most common version. In these one placed disks for various hitters, with sets for teams, all-stars and Hall-of-Famers. I only have a couple of these games, D-Day (which actually covers the campaign into 1945) being one of them. I also have a Laverne & Shirley game and a Family Ties game. Good memories.

Another great group of memories of games I either once had (or my family had) or still have today... 14:14 I got the Ice Cube game for Christmas 1972, and I still have the ice tray for it in my freezer. (I'm not sure where the rest of the game is though.) 15:40 I have the 9th edition of the Jeopardy! game, which I received Christmas 1973. This edition became infamous in a way in how a typo in the Question Book (Who are the Moops?) led to a plot on SEINFELD in "The Bubble Boy". 18:30 The Mystery Date game figured into the plot of "The Santa Clause" near the end. 20:48 I wonder if the home version of TIC TAC DOUGH could be rigged like the tv game too. :) You have a lot of nice Bob Cobert theme songs in this video, including CHAIN REACTION, GO!, and BLANKETY BLANKS. I think my favorite Bob Cobert theme song is the one he wrote for PERSONALITY and THREE ON A MATCH.

I had that Captain America game; I probably only wanted it for the free comic book (LOL). My sis and I liked to play Shenanigans. We used to watch the Saturday morning TV version hosted by Stubby Kaye. Milton Bradley had three games based on The Addams Family? Kinda pushing it considering the show only ran for two years...

Hey Fred! Merry Christmas to you and yours! In watching this again, I caught myself in a boo-boo from my previous comment about the Addams Family games: Only two of them were from Milton Bradley, not three as I originally stated. (The third one was from Ideal. Oops!) Also, about the Dukes of Hazzard game: Back when it originally aired, it occurred to me that if they wanted to be truly representative of real Kentucky hill folk, they should've had at least a couple of characters with rotten teeth. In the words of Bobby "The Brain" Heenan: "The toothbrush was invented in Kentucky. Anyplace else and they'd've called it the TEETHbrush!"

No, you never showed my Dream House game ; it is based on a real TV game show, married couples would compete with each other, for different rooms of the house I'm not sure if they included a bathroom. The questions on small pieces of paper are hard enough, harder than my Jeopardy! board game ( from the 1960s). On the TV show, only 2 married couples were on it long enough to win an actual house - the original Dream House program lasted about 6 years ...
