Between Risk and Monopoly (especially monopoly) I think they make almost anything into those board games.

[peteOcha]

Yeah I guess you're right!

Just saw a Metal Gear Solid Risk edition that was quite tempting...

Never play "Star Trek: The Next Generation Monopoly" you can't tell the game pieces apart....

This is for you, Siep!

My surviving LD player (topped by a PS2 which I keep around simply because I love the game SSX Tricky):

and few choice LDs:

Theatrical versions of the three GOOD Star Wars films, before Lucas ruined them; A collector's edition of Hellraiser in plastic slipcase with a shooting screenplay; the boxed set of the reworked SW 1-3 films; and a super deluxe verion of 2001, complete with the 3 ratio aspects used for the original film.

Doesn't everyone?

You correctly spied an LOTR Risk game on my shelf:

Never played, the ring keeps moving as the wars are fought, you try to capture it; or you can just play to conquer the entire board--which was always more fun! Green are Elves; Yellow--Humans; Red--Dwarves; and Black--the army of Mordor

can you read this, old man?

Even without my glasses!

But it's what's bleow the Risk game (hidden by the lip of the top shelf) that's really special!

This is for Mr. Woot since I picked this up in an arcade in Perth during a port visit (and because of the picture of his garage collection):

Spoiler!

Didn't think I'd let you get away with just one click now, did'ja?

Spoiler!

Don't know about Lucas ruining the original SW, though. I was/am a fan, and the changes he has made áre fine with me.
I just wish he'd release the originals -as they were- on BD.

While I'm waiting for my next shipment of books...

Three outstanding foreign language horror films on DVD:

Forget the inferior english remakes of Ringu (The Ring), and Ju/On(The Grudge); and The Host is an outstanding monster movie.

After looking thru my collection, I was surprised to discover about 20% are actually horror movies!

[peteOcha]

Japanese Horror films scare the crap out of me! They're so much better than the remakes. I especially liked The Ring, The Grudge, and Darkwater.

[frik51]

So true. I only have a couple of these Japanese horror films, and haven't actually seen the remakes, but as the originals are very, very effective I don't really have the urge to do so.
I'm glad you're showing us some covers up-close, Squire.
The artwork is sometimes better than the movie!
