atmostfear is a tall glass of nope

[SWard]

Okay, so this is kind of embarrassing, but quite honestly as a kid we had the VHS board game atmostfear and it scared me so much, I hid the box in the garden.

Do we think this sort of game will ever have a resurgence? I'm guessing it would be wicked in VR if it did, and you were up against a live dungonmaster.

Also I just found THE WHOLE VIDEO on youtube, and it brings back so many memories!

I found this so scary as a kid! I remember you had to talk to the video at certain points (for some reason) but I was too terrified to look directly at him.

I feel like there was a part where you had to write your worst fear down, and mine was getting detention.

Such a rebel.

Oh my! We had this as a kid, but it was called Nightmare in the US I guess? Or they changed the name.

We actually found it recently and played it again as adults. It makes a surprisingly good drinking game! 😂

 

[SWard]

Oh gosh I would NOT play it now.. what if he remembers me?

Man, we played Atmosfear so much we wore the tape out. I tried to make a video game like it once but it fizzled out.

@belsaas I highly recommend watching Beer and Boards games: Drunk Nightmare on YouTube. They are somewhat flabbergasted by the character in Nightmare👻. Not played it myself, but I would definitely give it a try.

I was too young to play/experience it but i did see the adverts and i saw the expansion packs etc. might look that up sometime.

We should talk more about classic board games of yesteryear. Played a load of Space crusade and Darkworld when i was a kid. Along with the classics like connect 4, battleship, fustration, guess who etc etc.

What a game! My younger cousin had a meltdown playing this and we all thought less of her for it.

I've said this in another thread, but I remember getting this game for Christmas. I was really excited because it looked so cool. I played it once with my family, but none of them understood how to play (the only board games they knew were the popular ones like Monopoly and Cluedo). The game was never played again.
