Really? I must have seen this movie a hundred times when it first came out on video (it’s still one of my all-time faves), but I had no idea there was a game. The cool illustration on the instructions title page is by Bill Willingham. You can see his signature on the plane. The second drawing—the “crazies” coming out of the sewer—might be an Erol Otus. Isn’t that an “EO” in the top right corner?
I would love to play this baby.

Keeerazy! I can just imagine this board game sitting on a shelf at some Goodwill store just waiting for someone to pick it up for a measley $5. Awesome illustrations. I wonder if the gameplay is enticing enough for a theme of this nature.
I dig how his pistol is right on top of the WTC towers; they look like some kind of double clip or something.
Ugh. On a not-so-brighter note, I still shudder when I see any depiction of the WTC towers.
I almost went blind trying to figure out the rules, but I got the general idea. I’d play it at least once. But then again, I also said that about The Black Hole game and that has yet to happen.
Directions scans are pretty big. Trying to read them on the iPhone? The Black Hole will happen. Oh yes, it will. I doubt I’ll get lucky enough to find this game for a decent price.
Oh, yeah. That’s Otus.
