Probably the first role-playing game to ever appear in a movie! Elliot (Henry Thomas), his brother Michael (Robert MacNaughton) and friends play Dungeons & Dragons.
Other board games can be spotted at Elliot´s room and in other places of the house (see images). It´s obvious that MB is a sponsor.
The 1979 Super Simon can be first seen at Elliot´s room, then it disappears mysteriously between shots and later can be seen at the left of the family's TV set |
Super Simon in the center of the image. Several MB games at upper right corner (bottom game is Numbers Up, probably the 1977 version) |
MB 1977 Stratego and MB 1978 Chutes & Ladders (center, right) and behind the turntable in the image below, together with other toys and puzzles and the Super Simon box |
More board games, puzzles and toys over the actors´ heads, including Stratego, Super Simon and Chutes & Ladders again. The same games seem to be changing places all along the movie! |
