What makes your videos better than all the rest is the music being played instead of talking. I absolutely love this. Thank you Fred!!

Very Very Good...Thank you!

The cover of the Battleship game depicts dad and junior playing while mom and sis do the dishes! Oh man.

I always loved board games.....Clue, Park and shop and monopoly etc. I still love them.

Thank you for this Fred! Brings back SO many memories of my youth. I still have quite a few of these games, great memories! Music mix was excellent!

I never knew there was so many different ones. A different time period for sure. Thanks Fred.

Fred, you are SO talented. I'm enjoying all of your posts. Love the music you choose as well. Whenever I'm feeling melancholy for the 20th Century, I watch one of your posts. Always cheers me up. Thanks for all your hard work.

People did so much more in those days than is done today.

OMG Joe South. My sisters had a 45 collection and I seem to be the only one who listened to it. That song was a favorite along with In The Ghetto.

Hogan Heroes,Voyage to the bottom of the sea,mouse trap never really built that.

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.

Jeeze, for every game I recognized there was many I had no idea about. A small fortune if you had those T.V. and superhero games.

I have my mom's original Monopoly game from the 1940's. We had a revised on

YOU SUNK MY BATTLESHIP!

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.

Anybody remember "Battle Tops"?

Milton Bradley sure made some strange games, Transogram comes at second. 😄

Barney Rubble with red hair?!!!

A very interesting collection of old board games, there was even a Japanese board game based on the Ultraman TV show made by Nintendo (before they made video games). Thanks again for another entertaining trip down memory lane, Fred. 🎲

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...

I think my dark shadows game had a different box

Still have it! @ 5:22

That look on Vic Morrow's face with him holding that machine gun is not intentional on the cover of the "Combat!" game (he hated guns and refused to shoot one in an episode).

Wow, so many of these games we had when I was a kid - but I could never get that Concentration scroll to line up properly! Thanks for sharing these memories!!

those were great games, the good ole' days !

beautiful track selection, my friend. 2018's got nothin on this stuff. thanks for keeping us sane

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!"

I just about bet the television based games , the actors got zilch money for residules. So far, I have only played Candy Land game.My niece had Operation. And Mouse Trap I seen Snoopy Come Home and cried like a baby.

Big fan of board games of TV game shows(video village,shenanigans,concentration,match game,even the newlewed game,which i played the MC to my older bro & sis souses & parents.Didn't realize how many board games were based on TV shows.Thanks Fred!

Of those three monsters that were on "The Outer Limits" game cover, only the abdominable snowman appeared in an episode ("The Human Factor").

The "Why" Game. "Requires real thinking". That's a good one.

I hated Twister until i discovered girls at about 12. Then i understood.

You included the Dark Shadows game and Let's Make a Deal, I still have them in the attic, to anyone out there DON'T get the Let's Make a Deal game, you will be sorry. Yeah, I kinda liked the Careers game ( no Fame and Fortune)?

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 ...

This was great. Would LOVE to see some of the ACTUAL games, not just the boxes. Thank you again

Wow this is pretty cool

Does anyone have any information on that Star Trek game? I have vague memories of it but can't find anything on that specific one.

I have been around comic books the majority of my life (well over 40 years), and I never knew there were so many super hero games!! Hey Fred, have you ever played APBA Baseball, or Strat-O-Matic baseball? Used to love playing both of those! Another great video Fred!! EDIT: and a GODZILLA board game?? I was born 10 years too late.
