I had this too but with different box artwork (wonderful glossy seventies/early eighties mopheaded youngsters ISTR) and it was called 'Ghost Castle'. You had a spinner and if it landed on the skull you had to drop a little plastic skull down the central chimney and it could go one of 4 ways, setting off various traps. Bloody brilliant.

Yeah, that's been lots of derivitives of it over the years (our Sprogs are playing the latest version) and called different names too, but the original is by far the best.
The perspective on that chairs all wrong

I had that too (hopefully still do in some dusty corner). I remember the skull, ghosts and traps and things were glow in the dark. Very cool, but pretty pointless because it's impossible to play a board game in the dark. Great game though.

I used to play Mega Mania all the time.  Wish there was some kind of online version as I think I have lost most of the counters...

My favourite board game was a game called Tri-Tactics. You had to marshal your army, navy and air force to capture the enemies HQ. Spent many hours in the seventies and eighties playing this wonderful game.

Sounds a little like the game Junta.

Set in a Bananna republic one person plays El Presidente and awards the position of head of army,airforce and navy to the other players. Then its just a matter of deal making, currying favour and staging coups!

Dark Tower?! Legendary!



I have one in a cupboard at my parents. There's a flash version here, with the original sounds and images:
