Milton Bradley Dark Tower commercial with Orson Welles

[Werewolf]

Great commercial.

Anybody have this game? It looked so cool at the time.

Never heard of this, but it does look cool

I had this game as a kid. It was great.

Lots of pieces... buildings, warriors, and the dragon!

Large cardboard score cards which slotted into a plastic tray, in which you put plastic pegs (the same kind that were used to show hits and misses in Battleship).

The motor in the tower was fairly loud when it rotated the internal mechanism to spin the illuminated images.

Great electronic sound effects, too.

Awesome game!

Had it is a kid and still have it... and it even still works (which I guess is pretty rare for these guys). It was a great game for the era.

I've been meaning to put it on eBay someday, so if a Museum member is desperately looking for a copy, drop me a PM. I might be able to help.

that's the first thing I ever sold on ebay. I got over $100 for it back in 1997. I thought I was going to be rich selling old toys. ;-)

I just remember it from the great commercial, wanted it but never managed to obtain it.

My brother was the big D&D guy and he had it. Don't tell him how fascinated I was with it

Its interesting that, as a kid, I only knew Orson Welles, the man responsible for what is considered the greatest movie ever, as a TV pitch man. He was practically the Billy Mays of my childhood.

My friends and I used to play it all the time back in our teenage D&D days, and I still have it. Even tho it can command a couple hundred bucks on eBay, I've never been seriously tempted to part with it. Too many fond memories..

My neighbor had this. We used to play it all the time. Cool game.

[J.B.]

I remember watching that commercial; truly a classic. My D&D friends and I played the hell out of that game. The images of Warriors and Brigands throwin' down have never left me...

I grew up playing this over D&D.
My friend still has his and last time I visited him in L.A. he brought out it and we played a game. Never realized how quick this game went. As kid it seemed like a journey to finish.
Always enjoyed placing curses.
