As a collector of board games, I wanted to ask folks if Electronic Detective is any good, also is Maniac as fun as it looks? Please let me know in the comments.
I had Electronic Detective and LOVED it. It was like a solitaire version of Clue with many more combinations. You interviewed 20 or more suspects in a crime from 4-5 predefined questions for each suspect. Answers changed and sometimes suspects lied. It came with a vinyl of Don Adams explaining how the game works.
I think I had Wizard. The buttons look familiar, but I don’t remember that screen. Basically it (or a very similar looking toy) was a straight up Simon clone. Maniac looked cool, but that was probably just the “rad” name and lettering working their marketing magic on my 10 year old self.
Due to recent events, I'm limiting comments to google account holders only. Sorry if you're a decent person affected by this but the spam has gotten weird.
Mattel Football is a legend. That is all.
