In the mid '70s, The Bermuda Triangle was a hot topic. There were several TV specials on the subject. "In Search Of" did an episode on the subject. I really didn't know what it was at the time, and quite frankly I'm still a little vague on the whole thing, but whatever. In '75 they even came out with a game about it. A neighbor had it and I played it once, but mostly we'd just set up the ships on the board and have the cloud devour them. Sometimes I found board games are the most fun when you make up your own rules...Tuesday, October 11, 2011

I only vaguely remember this game, but I DO remember that the Bermuda Triangle was a hot topic back in the day. I went on a cruise right after I graduated from high school, and I seriously couldn't get that out of my mind. :( Yes, I know, I'm a dork!
Chi Town a dork??? No way.
I remember the Bermuda Triangle being big, too. As well as Bigfoot. And the face on Mars.
And don't forget Satanism.
Man. The 70s RULED.
CJ: I forgot about the Mars face
Justin: It was a great time to be a kid. Except the Satanism part. Never interested me. I'm a Jesus fan myself.
Did you catch the retro shows that have been showing on the History channel? This past weekend I watched on on the 60's (don't remember the name) and there was one on the 70's called 70's Fever. They were an hour long documentary-style. Very interesting. Brings back alot of memories.
I didn't because I don't have a television. Haven't had one in decades. I bet they were good though
Holy crap! I had totally forgotten about this game...thanks for posting.
You're welcome ;^)
