In a way it's too bad they couldn't figure a way around centralizing giant, plastic shark, because otherwise the game play here wouldn't remind me of the <i>Jaws</i> game at all. Not that I would want to give that part up, of course. It's just that the idea and mechanism here is so great that it's a shame it has to, on some level, be considered a knock off--even though it's the fresher of the two ideas.<br /><br />My favorite thing about the art: The finish line as a couple of tropical barns.<br /><br />My favorite thing about the photography: What the hell is on that boy's t-shirt?Mr. Cavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634994342702518448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136311233296776036.post-18731911216153093402021-07-06T12:32:33.271-05:002021-07-06T12:32:33.271-05:00OMG!!!! That vinyl game board is THE BEST THING EV...OMG!!!! That vinyl game board is THE BEST THING EVER!!!! Seriously that's freaking amazing. I would cut that thing up and make a castaway-themed tote bag out of it immediately. fo reals. <br /><br />And yeah, I have no recollection of this game either. I feel like I would have remembered the balloon aspect - cause it's prob the kookiest partCraftypants Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14413843592088954786noreply@blogger.com
