Talisman Board Game Rereleased

Those that know what game I’m referring to just wet themselves. For the rest of you, go here to find out more. It’s basically a beer and pizza version of D&D. No roleplaying, just hack-and-slash fun that can be completed in one night’s gaming. It’s a ton of fun, but Games Workshop discontinued production of the game in the mid-90s.

Sets of the old game can be found on eBay at prices in the hundreds of dollars. I just spotted retailers selling the new release of the game.

You can preorder at any one of the following:

If you’re even remotely serious, order now. This is a limited run. Most of the stores I checked have less than ten sets apiece.

Remake wishlist?

We are going to get FFI and FFII remakes for the PlayStation and I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy, but what I want to know is:

Now that Square & Enix are hooking up, is there any hope of them doing the same for the original NES DragonWarrior (DragonQuest in Japan)? So far, I’ve had to resort to ConsoleClassix for my DW fix.

How about the original Ninja Gaiden series?

I’m sure there are many old-school clasics out there that many gamers would love to play on their “next generation” consoles. What would make it onto your wishlist? My picks would be FF3, the Mana games, and the Dragon Warrior games.
