The other day we mentioned the return of the Magic Roundabout game. That has been followed by returning board game versions of other 1960s and 1970s cult classics.
Those games are On The Buses, The Sweeney, Captain Scarlet, Thunderbirds and Z-Cars, all replicas of the original board games both in terms of packaging and game contents (as you can see from the images above and below) and all produced by West 11 Design under license.
Basically, this is Christmas Day heaven for overgrown kids with find memories of the TV shows, as well as potentially a lot of fun for younger offspring who might not remember the shows, but love the idea of a quirky board game.
All are available online now at far less than the ridiculous prices being demanded on eBay for originals. £13.99 for The Sweeney board game, £13.99 for On The Buses, £12.99 for Captain Scarlet, £14.50 for the Thunderbirds game and £14.99 for Z-Cars.
