Escape from New York: The Boardgame

[RSS]

I really need to get this game for my next family game night. I always equate this movie with Starlog, they really gave it a lot of coverage and hyped me to see it. That just took a while cause I was ten when it came out...

Is this a classic board game or is it a role-playing game (like the TSR logo implies)? A board game seems awesomely weird but a RPG makes a lot of sense.

That's really neat.

The company that made the game has a logo very similar to the old Proctor and Gamble logo aka the "Devil worship" logo

They were the Dungeons and Dragons people, so yes, in league with Satan.

I did not know this existed. This is something I would be interested in playing. Of course it would not fly with family game night so need to get a group of folks to play.

Early 80s hype from the Evangelicals.

Maybe I'm missing something but I'm not seeing it. What makes it look Satanic?

I knew of a hobby shop that had a few of these boardgames stacked up in their store for a long time. They might have been there in the 1990's too.

The game looked cool, but never got around to buying one.

I think about the game even today.

The "TSR" logo. Big to-do from the holy rollers of the 70's and 80's over their Dungeons & Dragons game, accusing it of promoting witchcraft and Satanism. Lots of hysteria akin to the comic book controversies of the 50's.

I do not believe the TSR LOGO ever was mentioned as looking satanic, now the COVERS of the first edition Dungeon Masters Guide and Players Handbook had artwork that someone may have considered satanic looking, but the logo?!?!?! where are you getting that info? This one is the second logo TSR used, the first had a wizard in a pointy cap waving a wand. This one is still supposed to be a wizard., but I don't know how anyone can look at it and think it's even remotely satanic, it's just an old bearded guy's head. Hell it probably looks more like most people's image of the Judeo-Christian God than a devil.

Mikey was saying it looks like the old Proctor & Gamble logo, which has been accused of being Satanic. This article explains why and will show you the resemblence:
